Towards an Ethics for the Technological World
Abstract This article synthesizes and updates, in part, what I have developed in the book Ethics and Technological World (2008). The central thesis is that the current technological world has become a global system of dominance over nature and society; It is a network of technical systems that interact by increasing the complexity of interrelations and their temporal and geographical effects, because it is governed by a uniform techno-scientific reason, based on the new “force majeure”. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze and rethink the conditions and structures of the technological world in which we live, as well as to question its rationality and technological imperative of transformation and domination of all natural or technical objects. Technological projects can be reoriented or modified if they involve greater risks to nature and human life. To do this, it is necessary and achievable to rebuild an ethics for the technological world. The four fundamental principles of that ethics that assesses the effects of technological power are briefly exposed: social responsibility, precaution, distributive justice and individual and communitarian autonomy.
