To what degree is technology in the form of products and processes
capable of contributing human enhancement and wellbeing? In cases
where the impact of a technology on society is not only very
negligible but overall negative and harmful, what is technology
good for? To answer these questions, Spence develops and applies a
normative model based on rationalist and virtue ethics as well as
stoic philosophy. Its primary purpose is to determine the essential
conditions that any normative theory that seeks to assess the
impact of technology on wellbeing must adequately address in order
to be able to account for, explain and evaluate what contribution,
if any, technology is capable of making to the attainment and
enhancement of human wellbeing. Through developing this model,
Spence offers a novel and important examination of the benefit of
technology to our society as a whole.
