This handbook enumerates every aspect of incorporating moral and
societal values into technology design, reflects the fact that the
latter has moved on from strict functionality to become sensitive
to moral and social values such as sustainability and
accountability. Aimed at a broad readership that includes
ethicists, policy makers and designers themselves, it proffers a
detailed survey of how technological, and institutional, design
must now reflect awareness of ethical factors such as
sustainability, human well-being, privacy, democracy and justice,
inclusivity, trust, accountability, and responsibility (both social
and environmental). Edited by a trio of highly experienced academic
philosophers with a specialized interest in the ethical dimensions
of technology and human creativity, this syncretic handbook
collates an array of published material and offers a studied,
practical introduction to the field. The volume addresses myriad
aspects at the intersection of technology design and ethics,
enabling designers to adopt a constructive approach in
anticipating, preventing, and resolving societal and ethical issues
affecting their work. It covers underlying theory; discrete values
such as democracy, human well-being, sustainability and justice;
and application domains themselves, which include architecture,
bio- and nanotechnology, and military hardware. As the first
exhaustive survey of a field whose importance is characterized by
almost exponential growth, it represents a compelling addition to a
formerly atomized literature.
