THE ETHICS OF SPACE EXPLORATION GEBUNDEN

This book aims to contribute significantly to the understanding of issues of value (including
the ultimate value of space-related activities) which repeatedly emerge in interdisciplinary
discussions on space and society. Although a recurring feature of discussions about space in
the humanities  the treatment of value questions has tended to be patchy  of uneven quality and
even  on occasion  idiosyncratic rather than drawing upon a close familiarity with
state-of-the-art ethical theory. One of the volume's aims is to promote a more robust and
theoretically informed approach to the ethical dimension of discussions on space and society.
While the contributions are written in a manner which is accessible across disciplines  the
book still withstands scrutiny by those whose work is primarily on ethics. At the same time it
allows academics across a range of disciplines an insight into current approaches toward how
the work of ethics gets done. The issues of value raised could be used to inform debates about
regulation  space law and protocols for microbial discovery as well as longer-range policy
debates about funding.
