Abstract:

Over the past two decades, new technologies have developed so rapidly that they have become an integral part of every aspect of our lives, bringing about major changes in the way we live and profoundly modifying social relationships. They raise fundamental ethical issues that need to be discussed from both a theoretical and a practical angle, by considering them within a broader system of new technologies. By analyzing in turn and together the ethical issues raised by Nanotechnologies, Cybernetics and Artificial Intelligence, this book proposes a fresh rethinking of the ethics of these technologies. It also shows that it is possible, and even desirable, to give in to neither blind adoration nor panic fear of these new realities, in order to ask ourselves collectively under what conditions these technologies can be ethical, and contribute to envisioning desirable futures.

Abstract:
This book explores the facets of these individual, collective and institutional vulnerabilities during the COVID-19 pandemic. It highlights how care is both what enabled us to hold together, and what we value. Using care theory as a starting point, the texts gathered here examine various crucial issues raised by the pandemic, in particular the crisis of responsibility and democracy, the invisibility of women's and immigrants' work, risk management and digital solutions, the collection of personal data for public health purposes, care taking in the face of death, and collective resilience.
