Ethical Aspects of Climate Engineering
This study investigates the ethical aspects of deploying and researching into so-called climate engineering methods, i.e. large-scale technical interventions in the climate system with the objective of offsetting anthropogenic climate change. The moral reasons in favour of and against R & D into and deployment of CE methods are analysed by means of argument maps. These argument maps provide an overview of the CE controversy and help to structure the complex debate.
Climate Justice
Climate justice requires sharing the burdens and benefits of climate change and its resolution equitably and fairly. This book brings together economic and philosophical discourse on climate justice in order to support public policy dialogue on the topic.
Technoscience and Citizenship: Ethics and Governance in the Digital Society
This book provides insights on how emerging technosciences come together with new forms of governance and ethical questioning. Combining science and technologies and ethics approaches, it looks at the emergence of three key technoscientific domains - body enhancement technologies, biometrics and technologies for the production of space -exploring how human bodies and minds, the movement of citizens and space become matters of technoscientific governance. The emergence of new and digital technologies pose new challenges for representative democracy and existing forms of citizenship. As citizens encounter and have to adapt to technological change in their everyday life, new forms of conviviality and contestation emerge. This book is a key reference for scholars interested in the governance of emerging technosciences in the fields of science and technology studies and ethics.

Argumentation Mining
Argumentation mining is an application of natural language processing (NLP) that emerged a few years ago and has recently enjoyed considerable popularity, as demonstrated by a series of international workshops and by a rising number of publications at the major conferences and journals of the field. Its goals are to identify argumentation in text or dialogue; to construct representations of the constellation of claims, supporting and attacking moves (in different levels of detail); and to characterize the patterns of reasoning that appear to license the argumentation. Furthermore, recent work also addresses the difficult tasks of evaluating the persuasiveness and quality of arguments. Some o...
Der Klimawandel im Zeitalter technischer Reproduzierbarkeit
Hannes Fernow führt interdisziplinär in das Thema Climate Engineering ein. Er integriert im Rahmen einer Politischen Hermeneutik wissenschaftstheoretische, technikphilosophische und umweltethische Argumente in historisch tradierte Risiko- und Naturverständnisse und zeigt, dass die Folgen von technologischen Klimaveränderungen nicht verlässlich vorhersagbar sind. Denn das Klima ist aufgrund fehlender Erfahrungen und systemischer Komplexität computertechnisch nur unzulänglich repräsentierbar. Vor diesem Hintergrund plädiert der Autor dafür, die Entscheidungsfindung zur Zukunft des Klimas nicht dem konventionellen Risikomanagement allein zu überlassen, sondern den Common Sense als Ressource für einen gelingenden Umgang mit der klimatischen Herausforderung zu entdecken. Zu dessen Grundüberzeugungen zählen das schrittweise Vorgehen und die Heuristik der Fehlertoleranz.
Debate Dynamics: How Controversy Improves Our Beliefs
Is critical argumentation an effective way to overcome disagreement? And does the exchange of arguments bring opponents in a controversy closer to the truth? This study provides a new perspective on these pivotal questions. By means of multi-agent simulations, it investigates the truth and consensus-conduciveness of controversial debates. The book brings together research in formal epistemology and argumentation theory. Aside from its consequences for discursive practice, the work may have important implications for philosophy of science and the way we construe scientific rationality as well.
Diskurse des Climate Engineering
Climate Engineering steht für großskalige, technologische Vorhaben, die zur Bekämpfung des Klimawandels in das Erdsystem eingreifen sollen. In Großbritannien und Deutschland hat dies zu kontroversen öffentlichen Debatten zwischen Gegnern und Befürwortern der vorgeschlagenen Technologien geführt. Stephanie Uther zeigt anhand einer argumentativen Analyse der Diskursebenen Medien, Politik und Wissenschaft, welche Rechtfertigungs- und Legitimationsangebote von Akteuren vorgebracht werden und wie diese in konkreten forschungspolitischen Maßnahmen „handlungswirksam“ geworden sind. Dabei deckt der Vergleich der britischen und deutschen Diskursprofile signifikante Unterschiede auf, die nicht nur die Testung und Einsatzbereitschaft spezifischer Technologien in Großbritannien wahrscheinlicher erscheinen lassen, sondern zukünftig auch folgenreich für die weitere Ausgestaltung (inter-)nationaler Klimaschutzpolitiken sein werden.
Handbuch Internationale Beziehungen
Das Handbuch Internationale Beziehungen ist die zweite, vollständig überarbeitete und erweiterte Auflage des Handbuchs der Internationalen Politik. Das neue Handbuch vermittelt einen umfassenden Überblick über den state of the art der politikwissenschaftlichen Teildisziplin Internationale Beziehungen in deutscher Sprache. Es präsentiert theoretische und methodische Grundlagen der Forschung in den Internationalen Beziehungen und stellt die wesentlichen Akteure und Problemfelder der internationalen Politik vor. Das Nachschlagewerk richtet sich sowohl an Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler als auch an Studierende und die interessierte Öffentlichkeit.
Ethics of Socially Disruptive Technologies
Technologies shape who we are, how we organize our societies and how we relate to nature. For example, social media challenges democracy; artificial intelligence raises the question of what is unique to humans; and the possibility to create artificial wombs may affect notions of motherhood and birth. Some have suggested that we address global warming by engineering the climate, but how does this impact our responsibility to future generations and our relation to nature? This book shows how technologies can be socially and conceptually disruptive and investigates how to come to terms with this disruptive potential. Four technologies are studied: social media, social robots, climate engineering and artificial wombs. The authors highlight the disruptive potential of these technologies, and the new questions this raises. The book also discusses responses to conceptual disruption, like conceptual engineering, the deliberate revision of concepts.
