What is the Point of Thinking of New Technologies as Social Experiments?
Ethics, Policy and Environment 20 (1):78-83 (2017)
Abstract
In this paper I respond to van de Poel’s claim that new technologies should be conceived as ongoing social experiments, which is an idea originally introduced by Schinzinger and Martin in the 1970s. I discuss and criticize three possible motivations for thinking of new technologies as ongoing social experiments.Author's Profile
