The emergence and rapid spread of nanotechnology offers a test case for how the world might act when confronted with a technology that could transform the global economy and provide solutions to issues such as pollution, while potentially creating new environmental and health risks. The author compares ethical issues identified by stakeholders in China and the EU about the rapid introduction of this potentially transformative technology ? a fitting framework for an exploration of global agency. The study explores the discourse ethics and participatory Technology Assessment (pTA) inspired by the work of Jürgen Habermas to argue that different views can be universally recognized and agreed upon, perhaps within an ideal global community of communication. The book offers a developed discourse model, utilizing virtue ethics as well as the work of Taylor, Beck, Korsgaard and others on identity formation, as a way forward in the context of global ethics. The author seeks to develop new vocabularies of comparison, to discover shared aspects of identity, and to achieve, hopefully, an ?intercultural personhood? that may lead to a global ethics. The book offers a useful guide for researchers on methods for advancing societal understanding of science and technology. The author addresses a broad audience, from philosophers, ethicists and scientists, to the interested general reader. For the layperson, one chapter surveys nanoissues as depicted in fiction, and another offers a view of how an ordinary citizen can act as a global agent of change in ethics. 606 $aEconomic policy 606 $aEthics 606 $aPhilosophy 606 $aR & D/Technology Policy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W43000 606 $aEthics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E14000 606 $aPhilosophy of Technology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E34050 615 0$aEconomic policy. 615 0$aEthics. 615 0$aPhilosophy. 615 14$aR & D/Technology Policy. 615 24$aEthics. 615 24$aPhilosophy of Technology. 676 $a170 676 $a330 676 $a338926 676 $a601 700 $aDalton-Brown$b Sally$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01064037 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298473903321 996 $aNanotechnology and Ethical Governance in the European Union and China$92536063 997 $aUNINA
