Our daily lives are affected by new technologies at an ever
increasing rate. It is becoming more and more important to assess
future technologies from an ethical point of view, and to do this
before they are introduced on a massive scale. Such assessments
require systematic use of many different kinds of knowledge. In
this important new book, an international team of leading experts
in the field provides the first comprehensive treatment of the
methods available for ethical assessments of technologies and their
social introduction. The book explores how information from
empirical research can be used in ethical analyses of technology
and includes chapters showing how ethical analysis can shed light
on topics such as privacy, risk, sustainability, dual use, gender
issues, justice, international technology transfer, and the
responsibility of engineers. It provides an invaluable resource for
students in the philosophy and ethics of technology, science and
technology studies, applied ethics, bioethics, business ethics and
the ethics of computing.
