商品描述
This book addresses the morality of engaging in weapons research, a topic that has been neglected but which is extremely important. It is argued that this activity is both morally wrong and morally unjustifiable, and this implies that moral persons should not engage in it. The argument is not based on any pacifist assumptions: it is not assumed that neither individuals nor states should not defend themselves. What is wrong with weapons research is that it is the first step in the production of weapons, weapons are the means to harm, and harming without justification is always wrong. Those who study science, for instance those who are interested in the responsibilities of the scientist, are given a new perspective, while those who are practicing scientists will realize that they should not consider working to design new or improved weapons systems. This book is of interest to students and researchers working in ethics and technology, philosophy of technology, military ethics, and history of technology.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本書探討了從事武器研究的道德問題，這是一個被忽視但極其重要的主題。書中主張這項活動在道德上是錯誤的，且無法辯護，這意味著有道德的人不應該參與其中。這個論點並不是基於任何和平主義的假設：並不假設個人或國家不應該自我防衛。武器研究的錯誤在於它是武器生產的第一步，武器是造成傷害的手段，而在沒有正當理由的情況下造成傷害始終是錯誤的。那些研究科學的人，例如對科學家的責任感興趣的人，將獲得一個新的視角，而那些正在從事科學研究的科學家將意識到他們不應考慮設計新的或改進的武器系統。這本書對於從事倫理與科技、科技哲學、軍事倫理以及科技史的學生和研究人員具有興趣。

John Forge attended the universities of Oxford, Cornell and University College London and obtained degrees in science and philosophy. His academic career has been spent in Departments of History and Philosophy of Science and Science and Technology Studies in Australia, although Forge has had fellowships at a number of (overseas) universities, including the Center for Philosophy of Science in Pittsburgh. For the last twenty years Forge's research has focussed on issues of science and responsibility, and especially the morality of weapons research. His The Responsible Scientist (Pittsburgh 2008) received a number of awards, including the Eureka Prize for Research Ethics. Designed to Kill: The Case Against Weapons Research (Springer 2013) is a comprehensive account of the morality of weapons research.
