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.
