Sommario/riassunto |
|
Das Buch beleuchtet den Begriff der Handlung in drei unterschiedlichen Kontexten: im Kontext der Rechtfertigung von Handlungen, der Lebensgeschichte von Personen und des Pragmatismus. Eine solche umfassende Betrachtung, die eine Abkehr von der atomistischen Herangehensweise der Handlungstheorie und die Besonderheit dieses Bandes darstellt, wirft eine Reihe von Fragen auf: Wenn Handlungen nicht durch mentale Zustände gerechtfertigt werden, wie können Personen dann aus Gründen handeln? Wie sind zeitlich ausgedehnte Aktivitäten von Personen zu beschreiben, und welcher Zusammenhang besteht zur Frage nach personaler Identität? Muss für ein einheitliches Verständnis von Personen das Praktische Vorrang vor dem Theoretischen haben, und was heißt dies z. B. für die Erkenntnistheorie? Mit diesen und anderen Fragen setzen sich die zehn Beitragenden in den drei Sektionen des Buches auf instruktive Weise auseinander. |
The book illustrates the concept of action in three different contexts - the justification of actions, people's life history, and pragmatism. The special feature of this book is that a comprehensive view of this kind marks a departure from the atomistic approach of action theory, which in itself raises a number of questions. If actions are not justified by mental states, how can persons then act for reasons? How can persons' actions over time be described, and what is the connection with the question of personal identity? If there is to be a unified understanding of the person, does the practical have to take precedence over the theoretical, and what does this mean for epistemology, for example? The ten contributors to this volume engage in an instructive manner with these and similar questions in the three sections of the book. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This open access book shows how value sensitive design (VSD), responsible innovation, and comprehensive engineering can guide the rapid development of technological responses to the COVID-19 crisis. Responding to the ethical challenges of data-driven technologies and other tools requires thinking about values in the context of a pandemic as well as in a post-COVID world. Instilling values must be prioritized from the beginning, not only in the emergency response to the pandemic, but in how to proceed with new societal precedents materializing, new norms of health surveillance, and new public health requirements. The contributors with expertise in VSD bridge the gap between ethical acceptability and social acceptance. By addressing ethical acceptability and societal acceptance together, VSD guides COVID-technologies in a way that strengthens their ability to fight the virus, and outlines pathways for the resolution of moral dilemmas. This volume provides diachronic reflections on the crisis response to address long-term moral consequences in light of the post-pandemic future. Both contact-tracing apps and immunity passports must work in a multi-system environment, and will be required to succeed alongside institutions, incentive structures, regulatory bodies, and current legislation. This text appeals to students, researchers and importantly, professionals in the field. |
