TECHNOLOGY AND GLOBAL SOCIETY
By A. Pablo Iannone
Designed for interested science, engineering, and technology practitioners and students in the ethics of science, engineering ethics, the ethics of technology, and other practical ethics courses, Technology and Global Society begins with an overview of contemporary technological developments and the types of ethical questions they pose, and then moves on to address issues concerning the assessment, management, development, and transfer of technology, as well as longstanding moral controversies in information, gene-splicing, health care, space, energy, and materials technology, and environmental and risk-related issues at the local, regional, national, and global levels. The book's essays include numerous brief excerpts from technology, policy studies, and philosophy sources, and provide substantial commentary, constituting a unique and thorough integration of scientific and technological language and categories with concepts and methods used in philosophy and policy studies.
