In Pursuit of Nanoethics de Bert Gordijn

In Pursuit of Nanoethics: The International Library of Ethics, Law and Technology, cartea 10

Editat de Bert Gordijn, Anthony Mark Cutter
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 11 oct 2013
The volume contributes to the ongoing nanoethics debate in four topical areas. The first part tackles questions of what could be called ‘meta-nanoethics’. Its focus lies on basic concepts and the issue of what - if anything - is truly novel and special about the new field of nanoethics or its subject matter. The second part of this volume presents a selection of interesting perspectives on some of the opportunities and challenges of nanotechnology. Part three takes a more in depth look at one of the most pressing current concerns: how to deal with the risks and uncertainties surrounding nanotechnology in a responsible manner. In its fourth and final part the volume touches on issues of public debate and policy.

Recenzii

From the book reviews:
“In Pursuit of Nanoethics is a welcome contribution to the field. I found myself recommending many of the selections to colleagues working in various areas of applied ethics and have gone back to many of the pieces to inform my own future research directions. From the novice student to the experienced scholar, this volume has something to offer for everyone, especially for those interested in integrating publics into the discourse around nanoethics.” (Stephanie E. Vasko, NanoEthics, Vol. 8, 2014)

Textul de pe ultima copertă

This volume assembles an interdisciplinary team of leading academics, industry figures, policymakers and NGO’s to consider the legal, ethical and social issues that are raised by innovations in nanoscience and nanotechnology. 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.

Caracteristici

Global governance focus (including authors from a number of global organisations) Exploration of the nanotechnology-biotechnology convergence Transatlantic perspective (deliberate inclusion of global perspectives from US, Europe and developing world). Interdisciplinary approach to issues drawing on authors from across the natural sciences and social sciences Balanced framing of nanoethics as an emerging discipline associated with, but distinct from other branches of applied ethics
