The Old-New Meaning of Researcher’s Responsibility
Grinbaum, Alexei
2013
Abstract
If the technological situation is unique, the ways to understand the contemporary moral condition are not. We link it to age-old questions: in fact, the power promised by technol-ogy only establishes a new form of human finitude. In the face of this continuity of the fundamental moral condition, we examine a number of alternative ways of thinking about the basis of responsible innovation, exploring the metaphors of quasi-parental and political responsibilities, as well as the place of virtue in innovation and the role of cul-tural narratives in helping us understand the limits of responsible innovation.
