Our technological culture has an extremely dynamic character: old
ways of reproducing ourselves, managing nature and keeping animals
are continually replaced by new ones; norms and values with respect
to our bodies, food production, health care and environmental
protection are regularly being put up for discussion. This
constantly confronts us with new moral problems and dilemmas. In
discussion with other approaches this book argues that pragmatism,
with its strong emphasis on the interaction between technology and
values, gives us both procedural help and stresses the importance
of living and cooperating together in tackling these problems and
dilemmas. The issues in this book include the interaction of
technology and ethics, the status of pragmatism, the concept of
practice, and discourse ethics and deliberative democracy. It has
an interactive design, with original contributions alternating with
critical comments. The book is of interest for students, scholars
and policymakers in the fields of bioethics, animal ethics,
environmental ethics, pragmatist philosophy and science and
technology studies.
