Ethics in Technology: A Philosophical Study

Ethics in Technology: A Philosophical Study

Topi Heikkerö
Role: Author

This book inquires into the question: How to think about ethics in a technological world? This question has three facets: technological advance poses new challenges for ethics, traditional ethics may become poorly applicable in a technological world, and the progress in science and technology has undermined ethical thinking itself. While Topi Heikkerö agrees on the need for an interdisciplinary dialogue between these three traditions, he argues for the primacy of philosophy of technology in thinking about ethics in technology.
