Technology and New Ethics

Abstract

The technical and scientific advances of recent years have changed the way we conceive not only the relations between man and nature but also how they relate to each other. The author of this article focuses on the analysis of the relationship between ethics and technology and observes that the ethical principles of science and technology today are governed by the way the liberal thought turns them into commodities. The ethical debate considers whether the trans-humanism may be an option for human development. The author puts at the center of discussion the issue of how the ethical dimension of transhumanism should be measured in relation to poverty.
