SUMMARY:Mark Sentesy “How Technology Changes Ethical Experience”
DESCRIPTION:\nWhat role does technology play in ethics? The question is
not answered by working out how agents choose to use particular technolo
gies\, but by asking whether technology changes the infrastructure of ou
r ethical experience and decisions. This paper argues that it does\, in
three ways: 1) the technologies we use impose definite structures of hum
an activity on the world\, 2) technologies structure what we do and how
we do it by changing what possibilities are available to us\, and theref
ore how we experience the world\, and 3) unlike any other kind of thing\
, technology seems not to make moral demands of us: it seems morally neu
tral. This gives us a peculiar way of relating to the good: instead of e
xperiencing the ethical demand others place on us\, it puts the value of
things in our hands. It offers us the freedom of imposing on something
that does not impose back. In these three ways\, then\, technology struc
turally changes our ethical relationship with and experience of the worl
d.\n\nFor more details: https://events.la.psu.edu/event/mark-sentesy-how
