This book presents cutting-edge concepts on the question of trust. Written by leading experts, it investigates a paradoxical feature of contemporary society: while information and communication technologies, on the one hand, and scientific discourses, on the other, can promote more informed participation in public and democratic life, they have also led to a dramatic decline in our communicative and cooperative skills.
The book analyzes the notion of trust from an interdisciplinary perspective by combining the normative (continental) and empirical (Anglo-American) approaches and by considering the political, epistemological, and historical transformations in the interpersonal relationships sparked by new technologies. Using trust as a model, it then investigates and clarifies the new types of participation that are made possible by scientific and technological advances.

This book presents and discusses some of the problems that are increasingly emerging today in our relationship with food as well as in our style of eating and drinking. The first three chapters focuses on issues concerning eating, and on our relationship with what we can eat. The fourth chapter deals with the act of drinking, with our relationship with water, and discusses justice aspects in the use of water. The main idea is that the acts of eating and drinking are to be understood as relationships, i.e. as a way human beings relate to other beings. As such, they can be performed ethically well or badly. Therefore, an ethics of eating and of drinking should be developed. Not only the book highlights some key ethical problems associated with the act of eating and drinking, yet it also describes some ethically sustainable solutions to them. It ends with a list of reflections, which are intended to guide our choices in the relations with food and drinks with a normative approach. Mainly written for university students and researchers in the field of applied ethics, this book will also offer an inspiring reading to a wider audience of academics and professionals.

Questo libro presenta e discute alcuni problemi di fondo che emergono oggi nelle relazioni alimentari e che riguardano i nostri stili di vita. I primi tre capitoli si concentrano sulle questioni che concernono l''alimentazione e sul rapporto con ciò che possiamo o non possiamo mangiare, per motivi etici, religiosi o semplicemente collegati al nostro benessere. Il quarto capitolo tratta dell''atto del bere e del nostro rapporto con l''acqua, nell’ottica della sostenibilità, della giustizia, del corretto uso e dell’equa distribuzione delle risorse idriche.
In generale, l’idea che viene sostenuta nel libro è che per gli esseri umani gli atti del mangiare e del bere non dipendono dalla volontà del soggetto, ma si svolgono in contesti di relazione già dati e mettono in gioco, o impediscono, ulteriori relazioni: con altri esseri viventi, con altri esseri umani, con noi stessi. Tali relazioni possono svilupparsi bene oppure male. Se sono attuate male risultano distruttive. Bisogna capire come ciò accade e agire di conseguenza. L’etica ci aiuta a farlo, facendoci riflettere su questi problemi e individuando soluzioni concrete. Scritto per studenti universitari e per studiosi di etiche applicate, il libro è una lettura stimolante e provocatoria anche per un pubblico più ampio.

In Digital Environments and Human Ecology: New Perspectives on AI Issues, editors and contributors embark on a multidisciplinary exploration of how artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping the landscapes of human interactions, societal structures, and individual and collective psychologies. Discussing if and to what extent the digital environment can be considered an extension of our environment, this book investigates the profound implications of AI''s integration into our daily life, emphasizing the need for a harmonious coexistence between technological advancements and human-centric values, stressing the importance of sustainability in digital development and, therefore, a renewed Human Ecology. By weaving together insights from computer science, social sciences, philosophy, and environmental studies, this book offers a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of the complex relationship between humans and technology. It serves as a vital resource for policymakers, technologists, scholars, and anyone interested in the ethical and ecological implications of digital technologies in our lives.

This book discusses key ethical and deontological problems concerning the use of the most common information and communication devices. It focuses on the challenges of the new environments we now find ourselves in thanks to these technologies, and the issues arising from the newly established relationship between the virtual sphere and the real world.
Each aspect is analysed by starting from a very specific example or a case study presenting a dilemma that can only be resolved by making a reasoned ethical choice. Rather than thematically addressing only one of the many aspects mentioned above (for example, computer ethics or social network ethics), the book presents a comprehensive introduction to, and a co-ordinated overview of, the various deontological and ethical issues regarding the spread of the most common information and communication technologies.
