NEW PERSPECTIVES ON TECHNOLOGY VALUES AND ETHIC...

This book focuses on a key issue today: the role of values in technology  with special emphasis
on ethical values. This topic involves the analysis of internal values in technology (as they
affect objectives  processes  and outcomes) and the study of external values in technology
(social  cultural  economic  ecological  etc.). These values - internal and external - are
crucial to the decision making of engineers. In addition  they have increasing relevance for
citizens concerned with the present and future state of technology  which gives society a
leading position in technological issues. The book follows three main lines of research: 1) new
perspectives on technology  values  and ethics  2) rationality and responsibility in technology
and 3) technology and risks. This volume analyzes the two main sides involved here: the
theoretical basis for the role of values in technology and a practical discussion on how to
implement them in our society. Thus  the book is of interest for philosophers  engineers 
academics of different fields and policy-makers. The style used lends itself to broad
audience.?
