Democracy's Relationship with Science and Technology
This isn't so much a review as how I think the book applies to the world today. The core argument is that when it comes to new technologies, genetically modified organisms, fuel, etc., the burden of proof in deciding to adopt them, despite unknown side effects, should favor caution over commerce. The Bush administration/Global industry position stands in contrast: so long as something has not been affirmatively demonstrated as unsafe, then we should use it for the sake of more efficient commerce, at least until we start having flipper-babies. Long term consequences such as climate change and flooding the ecosystem with carcinogens, be damned. By situating the moral sphere in terms of historical duties that flow from natural commitments to the planet and contractual duties with fellow humans, Jonas develops a cogent theme that belongs in politics as much as in philosophy.
