Note(s) : This book considers the question: to what extent does it make sense to qualify technical
artefacts as moral entities? The authors' contributions trace recent proposals and
topics including instrumental and non-instrumental values of artefacts, agency and
artefactual agency, values in and around technologies, and the moral significance
of technology. The editors' introduction explains that as 'agents' rather than simply
passive instruments, technical artefacts may actively influence their users, changing
the way they perceive the world, the way they act in the world and the way they interact
with each other. This volume features the work of various experts from around the
world, representing a variety of positions on the topic. Contributions explore the
contested discourse on agency in humans and artefacts, defend the Value Neutrality
Thesis by arguing that technological artefacts do not contain, have or exhibit values,
or argue that moral agency involves both human and non-human elements.The book also
investigates technological fields that are subject to negative moral valuations due
to the harmful effects of some of their products. It includes an analysis of some
difficulties arising in Artificial Intelligence and an exploration of values in Chemistry
and in Engineering. The Moral Status of Technical Artefacts is an advanced exploration
of the various dimensions of the relations between technology and morality
