By bringing together international experts from a diverse range of fields this volume addresses the implications and impact that nanotechnology has on society. Through the exploration of six key themes the contributors analyse both the impact of nanotechnology and the emergence of the concept of nanoethics. Each section includes authors from both sides of the political and scientific divide ? incorporating both positive and negative perspectives on nanotechnology, as well as including discussions of associated concepts such as converging technologies. The result provides for the widest and most balanced discussion of these issues to date. 410 0$aThe International Library of Ethics, Law and Technology,$x1875-0044 ;$v10 606 $aEthics 606 $aLaw 606 $aNanotechnology 606 $aSocial sciences 606 $aEconomic policy 606 $aEthics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E14000 606 $aLaw, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R00001 606 $aNanotechnology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z14000 606 $aSocial Sciences, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X00000 606 $aR & D/Technology Policy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W43000 615 0$aEthics. 615 0$aLaw. 615 0$aNanotechnology. 615 0$aSocial sciences. 615 0$aEconomic policy. 615 14$aEthics. 615 24$aLaw, general. 615 24$aNanotechnology. 615 24$aSocial Sciences, general. 615 24$aR & D/Technology Policy. 676 $a174.96205 702 $aGordijn$b Bert$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aCutter$b Anthony Mark$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484712603321 996 $aIn Pursuit of Nanoethics$92853389 997 $aUNINA
