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. Reijers and Coeckelbergh take the reader on a journey: from a discussion of the philosophy of praxis, via a hermeneutic notion of technical practice that draws from MacIntyre, Heidegger and Ricour, 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.TechnologyMoral and ethical aspectsTechnologyPhilosophyTechnologyMoral and ethical aspects.TechnologyPhilosophy.174.96Reijers Wessel1989-996179Coeckelbergh MarkMiAaPQMiAaPQUtOrBLWBOOK9910430357303321Narrative and technology ethics2283002UNINA
