About the Book

Virtues have become a valuable and relevant resource for understanding modern science and technology. Scientific practice requires not only following prescribed rules but also cultivating judgment, building mental habits, and developing proper emotional responses. The rich philosophical traditions around virtue can provide key insights into scientific research, including understanding how daily practice shapes scientists themselves and how ethical dilemmas created by modern scientific research and technology should be navigated.Science, Technology, and Virtues gathers both new and eminent scholars to show how concepts of virtue can help us better understand, construct, and use the products of modern science and technology. Contributors draw from examples across philosophy, history, sociology, political science, and engineering to explore how virtue theory can help orient science and technology towards the pursuit of the good life. Split into four major sections, this volume covers virtues in science, technology, epistemology, and research ethics, with individual chapters discussing applications of virtues to scientific practice, the influence of virtue ethics on socially responsible research, and the concept of "failing well" within the scientific community. Rather than offer easy solutions, the essays in this volume instead illustrate how virtue concepts can provide a productive and illuminating perspective on two phenomena at the core of modern life.Fresh and thought-provoking, Science, Technology, and Virtues presents a pluralistic set of scholarship to show how virtue concepts can enrich our understanding of scientific research, guide the design and use of new technologies, and shape how we envision future scientists, engineers, consumers, and citizens.

Review :
This volume presents a very timely collection of perspectives from virtue ethics and virtue epistemology on science and technology. The contributions present overviews of how insights from virtue are changing the way we understand science and technology... I would highly recommend that readers interested in the topic add the present volume to their reading lists. Reading is clearly recommended if one is seeking an insight into the interchange of virtues, science, and (some) technology. This volume is a valuable resource for scholars in science, philosophy of science, technology, and ethics. a very timely collection ... I would highly recommend that readers interested in the topic add the present volume to their reading lists Despite the importance of science and technology in today's world, virtue ethics in these domains remain underexplored. Science, Technology, and Virtues provides important conceptual insights into science, technology, epistemology, and research ethics and offers practical understandings that will enable us to live well as science and technology continue to advance in the 21st century. This interdisciplinary volume shows how questions of virtue can not only shape technology use and research ethics, but determine the practice of science itself. Virtue here transforms from a quaint inquiry of character into a powerful tool for understanding the fundamentals of modernity. Readers interested in empirically informed ethics and epistemology of science and technology will find lots more to dig into, both within the essays highlighted herein and elsewhere in this broad-ranging collection.
