The Moral Use of Technology
Royal Institute of Philosophy Supplements 82 (61) (2007)
| Abstract | Is technology neutral, a neutral means to whatever ends we have in mind, or is it, instead, somehow imbued with moral and political value, a kind of autonomous force which brings about its own ends? How should we think about the moral dimension of mundane technology, in particular, what is the right way to use it? | |||||||||
