SEAMIC_Philosophy of technology

In this video the speaker discusses two main topics related to technology and responsibility. Firstly, they introduce a book on sustainable development and its connection to the concept of responsibility in science and technology, referencing Hans Jonas' seven principles on responsibility. These principles emphasize the importance of reflection on the consequences of technological advancements and the need for ethical consideration in scientific research. Secondly, the speaker reviews another book that critiques the ideology of science and technology, arguing that it has become a dominant discourse influencing human life without sufficient reflection. The author proposes alternative approaches, such as communicative rationality and critical assessment of social progress, to mitigate the negative consequences of unchecked technological advancement.
