Responsible innovation as a critique of technology assessment
The notion of ‘responsible innovation’ has become fashionable amongst policy-makers and knowledge institutes. In the new Horizon 2020, calls of the EU ‘responsible research and innovation’ (RRI) figures prominently as a condition and an aim in itself. The rise of RRI shows considerable overlap with the aims, philosophies and practices of Technology Assessment (TA). The overlap, though, is not perfect and this raises questions about how RRI relate…

Responsible innovation
In contemporary culture, the image of technology as a passive tool to serve us and to satisfy our desires is increasingly revealed as illusory. Technology is a world-shaping force, a force that als
Ethics on the Laboratory Floor
Assessing Expectations
In recent years, several authors have argued that the desirability of novel technologies should be assessed early, when they are still emerging. Such an ethical assessment of emerging technologies is by definition focused on an elusive object. Usually promises, expectations, and visions of the technology are taken as a starting point. As Nordmann and Rip have pointed out in a recent article, however, ethicists should not take for granted the plau…
Anticipating the Interaction between Technology and Morality
During the last decades several tools have been developed to anticipate the future impact of new and emerging technologies. Many of these focus on hard, quantifiable impacts, investigating how novel technologies may affect health, environment and safety. Much less attention is paid to what might be called soft impacts: the way technology influences, for example, the distribution of social roles and responsibilities, moral norms and values, or ide…
Forging a fit between technology and morality
Exploring the interaction between technology and morality in the field of genetic susceptibility testing
Exploring Techno-Moral Change
Converging Technologies, Shifting Boundaries
At the beginning of the 21 century, most people are no longer surprised by technological revolutions. The twentieth century brought us information technology and biotechnology: key technologies for pioneering innovations such as the computer, the Internet and genetically modified plants. In the transition to the twenty-first century, two other important developments: nanotechnology (the research and design of materials at the smallest level possi…
Taking Care of the Symbolic Order. How Converging Technologies Challenge our Concepts
In this article we briefly summarize how converging technologies challenge elements of the existing symbolic order, as shown in the contributions to this special issue. We then identify the vision of 'life as a do it yourself kit' as a common denominator in the various forms of convergence and proceed to show how this vision provokes unrest and debate about existing moral frameworks and taboos. We conclude that, just as the problems of the indust…
Dealing with In/dependence
By now, the laboratory tradition, crafting transportable knowledge that allows for comparison, has been amply studied. However, other knowledge traditions, notably that of the clinic, deserve further articulation. The authors contribute to this by unraveling some specificities of rehabilitation practice. How do laboratory and clinical traditions in rehabilitation relate to independence? The first seeks to quantify people's independence; the latte…
Nano-ethics as Nest-ethics
There might not be a specific nano-ethics, but there definitely is an ethics of new & emerging science and technology (NEST), with characteristic tropes and patterns of moral argumentation. Ethical discussion in and around nanoscience and technology reflects such NEST-ethics. We offer an inventory of the arguments, and show patterns in their evolution, in arenas full of proponents and opponents. We also show that there are some nano-specific issu…
Responsibility without Moralism in Technoscientific Design Practice
While engineering ethics usually addresses the responsibility of engineers in rare cases of whistle blowing, the authors broach the question to what extent engineers can be held responsible in normal practice. For this purpose, they define the conditions under which individuals can be imputable as they prevail in ethics and common sense. From outcomes of science and technology studies research, the authors conclude that these conditions are seldo…
Inside the Politics of Technology
During a stay from - as research fellow at the University of Twente, Enschede, the Netherlands, I participated in the so-called "Mumford-program" -a project to stimulate and co-ordinate intellectual collaboration on the spot between various strands of Science and Technology Studies: from philosophy, sociology, and history of science and technology up to research policy and management studies.This volume, discussing the analytical and normative co…
Ethics in Technological Culture
Neither traditional philosophy nor current applied ethics seem able to cope adequately with the highly dynamic character of our modern technological culture. This is because they have insufficient insight into the moral significance of technological artifacts and systems. Here, much can be learned from recent science and technology studies (STS). They have opened up the black box of technological developments and have revealed the intimate intert…
