Moral Hermeneutics and Technology: Making Moral Sense through Human-Technology-World Relations by Olya Kudina explores the role of technology in shaping moral intuitions and choices, challenging the traditional anthropocentric view of morality. Drawing on postphenomenology and pragmatism, Kudina argues that values co-evolve with the dynamic human-technology-world environment and can change in response to it. This book presents morality as a dynamic practice of sense-making, where people, technologies, and the cultural setting all play an active role. It examines the implications of such a technologically mediated moral hermeneutics for the informed use, design, and governance of technologies, while accounting for the intimate connection between values and technologies.
