African Values, Ethics, and Technology

Questions, Issues, and Approaches

Herausgegeben: Okyere-Manu, Beatrice Dedaa

Beschreibung

This book charts technological developments from an African ethical perspective. It explores the idea that while certain technologies have benefited Africans, the fact that these technologies were designed and produced in and for a different setting leads to conflicts with African ethical values. Written in a simple and engaging style, the authors apply an African ethical lens to themes such as: The Fourth Industrial Revolution, the moral status of technology, technology and sexual relations, and bioethics and technology.
