Key Scholarly Contributions
Key scholarly contributions linking ethics, technology, and society can be found in a number of seminal works:
- The Imperative of Responsibility: In Search of Ethics for the Technological Age (Jonas, 1979)
- On Technology, Medicine and Ethics (Jonas, 1985)
- The Real World of Technology (Franklin, 1990), Thinking Ethics in Technology: Hennebach Lectures and Papers, 1995-1996 (Mitcham, 1997)
- Technology and the Good Life (Higgs, Light & Strong, 2000)
- Readings in the Philosophy of Technology (Kaplin, 2004)
- Ethics and technology: Ethical issues in an age of information and communication technology (Tavani, 2004.)
This resulting scholarly attention to ethical issues arising from technological transformations of work and life has helped given rise to a number of key areas (or branches) of technoethical inquiry under various research programs (I.e., computer ethics, engineering ethics, environmental technoethics, biotech ethics, Nanoethics, educational technoethics, information and communication ethics, media ethics, and Internet ethics).

Famous quotes containing the words key and/or scholarly:
“Woe to you lawyers! For you have taken away the key of knowledge; you did not enter yourselves, and you hindered those who were entering.”
—Bible: New Testament, Luke 11:52.
“Almost all scholarly research carries practical and political implications. Better that we should spell these out ourselves than leave that task to people with a vested interest in stressing only some of the implications and falsifying others. The idea that academics should remain “above the fray” only gives ideologues license to misuse our work.”
—Stephanie Coontz (b. 1944)
