| Summary: | This book explores the evolving ethical considerations associated with advancements in nanotechnology, focusing on discussions held at a 2011 conference at the Université Libre de Bruxelles. Contributions from fifteen multidisciplinary experts address the implications of nanotechnology for ethics, governance, and risk management. The work examines the intersection of speculative and practical applications of nanotechnology, such as its use in medicine and the military, and its impact on living systems and societal norms. Key themes include the challenges in defining nanotechnology, its potential risks and benefits, and its influence on the philosophical concepts of life, autonomy, and inequality. The book aims to bridge perspectives from French and Anglo-Saxon academic traditions, offering a bilingual format to facilitate international discourse. It is intended for scholars, ethicists, and professionals in fields related to nanotechnology and bioethics. |
