This book explores the relevance of Japanese ethics for the field
of ethics of technology. It covers the theories of Japanese
ethicists such as Nishida Kitaro, Watsuji Tetsuro, Imamichi
Tomonobu, Yuasa Yasuo, as well as more contemporary ethicists, and
explores their relevance for the analysis of energy technologies,
ICT, robots, and geoengineering. It features contributions from
Japanese scholars, and international scholars who have applied
Japanese ethics to problems in the global condition. Technological
development is considered to cause new ethical issues, such as
genetically modified organisms fostering monocultures,
nanotechnologies causing issues of privacy, as well as health and
environmental issues, robotics raising issues about the meaning of
humanity, and the risks of nuclear power, as witnessed in the
Fukushima disaster. At the same time, technology embodies a hope
for mankind, such as ICT improving relationships between human
beings and nature, and smart systems assisting humans in leading a
more ethical and environmentally friendly life. This book explores
these ethical issues and their impact from a Japanese perspective.
