Energy, risks, and metatechnology
Philosophy and Technology 24 (2):89-94 (2011)
Abstract
Technologies lower constraints and expand affordances. As a consequence, they tend to redesign the corresponding space of risks in which agents operate and interact. This paper analyses the concept of metatechnological risk from an ethical perspective, arguing that such an approach is necessary in order to mitigate future global energy crises.Author's Profile
