  Article:   THE ETHICS OF TECHNOLOGICAL DESIGN AND PRACTICE. A POST-PHENOMENOLOGICAL AND GRAMMATICAL APPROACH.

  Abstract:  The ethics of technology deals with the moral grounds of creating and using devices and technological systems. This paper deals with the ethics of technology from the point of view of postphenomenology – by analysing multistability, mediation and technological intentionality – and of Wittgenstein’s fundamental grammar – by analysing technology as a rule-governed practice. Using these theoretical frameworks, this paper is able to offer a description of the way ethical values are embedded in technology and to present the foundation for a normative ethics of technology.

Keywords: technology, ethics, postphenomenology, fundamental grammar
