Technology and Value Theory
PSA: Proceedings of the Biennial Meeting of the Philosophy of Science Association 1980:481 - 490 (1980)
| Abstract | A rough categorization of issues in the field of Technology and Society Studies is provided and the kinds of values and value issues under discussion are examined. It is argued that value theory is not sufficiently well-developed to address some of the value issues that arise. Three approaches to values with which the author disagrees are discussed: the atomistic view of values; the ordinary language approach; and, an approach the author calls the "rationality approach". Under the latter, an analysis of value offered by Kurt Baier in "Fact and Value" is criticized. | |||||||||
