Moral Issues and Technology Possible Lessons from Ancient Greece
نویسنده
چکیده
According to the organizers of these “Dialogues,” the legacy of ancient Greek culture may still potentially offer solutions to problems faced by the world today. Something similar happened during the Renaissance period, when the Greek culture was used both as a source of information, and as inspiration for and expression of new ideas. I subscribe to the hope that a dialogue between ancient Greek experience and modern situations may indeed be productive, and I propose that we test this expectation in the case of moral aspects of the technological process.
