Moralizing Technology by Peter-Paul Verbeek
A study of the ethical dilemmas and moral issues surrounding the interaction of humans and technology. Drawing from Heidegger and Foucault, as well as from philosophers of technology such as Don Ihde and Bruno Latour, it locates morality not just in the human users of technology but in the interaction between us and our machines.
"Peter-Paul Verbeek's insightful analysis invites us to attend more carefully to the ways we practice our moralities, not only with other people and nature but also among and through the artifacts that have become our children, siblings, parents, aunts, uncles, and cousins, with all the love-hate relationships typical of family life" (Carl Mitcham, Colorado School of Mines)"
Peter-Paul Verbeek is professor in the Department of Philosophy and director of the international master's program in philosophy of science, technology, and society, both at the University of Twente, the Netherlands, and extraordinary professor of philosophy at Delft University of Technology. He is the author of What Things Do: Philosophical Reflections on Technology, Agency, and Design.
