Abstract

Eco-ethics faces a major challenge: to contribute to the development of a virtuous technological society, capable of improving the psychological and mental well-being of those who shape our society. This challenge is immense and we are at a critical moment. Digital technologies have become deeply embedded in our daily lives, influencing how we engage with the world, learn, and interact with others, for better or worse. Given that the premise of technological development is ambivalent, which is inherent in the process of metamorphosis, we must consider the possibility and necessity of making choices in the process of innovation and technological development. We can ask ourselves: on the basis of which set of values? With what horizons of meaning? In order to try to provide answers to these questions, one of the challenges of this article will be to consider the importance of integrating an aesthetic dimension into what we call the work of ethics.
