This book proposes that technologies, similar to texts, novels and
movies, 'tell stories' and thereby configure our lifeworld in the
Digital Age. The impact of technologies on our lived experience is
ever increasing: innovations in robotics challenge the nature of
work, emerging biotechnologies impact our sense of self, and
blockchain-based smart contracts profoundly transform interpersonal
relations. In their exploration of the significance of these
technologies, Reijers and Coeckelbergh build on the philosophical
hermeneutics of Paul Ricouer to construct a new, narrative approach
to the philosophy and ethics of technology. The authors take the
reader on a journey: from a discussion of the philosophy of praxis,
via a hermeneutic notion of technical practice that draws on
MacIntyre, Heidegger and Ricoeur, through the virtue ethics of
Vallor, and Ricoeur's ethical aim, to the eventual construction of
a practice method which can guide ethics in research and
innovation. In its creation of a compelling hermeneutic ethics of
technology, the book offers a concrete framework for practitioners
to incorporate ethics in everyday technical practice.
