Technology has become a major subject of philosophical ethical
reflection in recent years, as the novelty and disruptiveness of
technology confront us with new possibilities and unprecedented
outcomes as well as fundamental changes to our "normal" ways of
living that demand deep reflection of technology. However,
philosophical and ethical analysis of technology has until recently
drawn primarily from the Western philosophical and ethical
traditions, and philosophers and scholars of technology discuss the
potential contribution of non-Western approaches only sparingly.
Given the global nature of technology, however, there is an urgent
need for multiculturalism in philosophy and ethics of technology
that include non-Western perspectives in our thinking about
technology. While there is an increased attention to non-Western
philosophy in the field, there are few systematic attempts to
articulate different approaches to the ethics of technology based
on other philosophical and ethical traditions. The present edited
volume picks up the task of diversifying the ethics of technology
by exploring the possibility of Confucian ethics of technology. In
the six chapters of this volume, the authors examine various ideas,
concepts, and theories in Confucianism and apply them to the
ethical challenges of technology; in the epilogue, the editors
review the key ideas articulated throughout the volume to identify
possible ways forward for Confucian ethics of technology.
Harmonious Technology revives Confucianism for philosophical and
ethical analysis of technology and presents Confucian ethics of
technology as another approach to the ethics of technology. It will
be essential for philosophers and ethicists of technology, who are
urged to consider beyond the Western paradigms. More broadly, the
volume will be of interest to students and scholars in the fields
of philosophy, science and technology studies, innovation studies,
political science, and social studies.
