Does a flourishing life involve pursuing passionate attachments? Can we choose what these passionate attachments will be? This book offers an original theory of how we can actively cultivate our passionate attachments.The author argues that not only do we have reason to view passionate attachments as susceptible to growth, change, and improvement, but we should view these entities as amenable to self-cultivation. He uses Pierre Hadot’s and Michel Foucault’s accounts of Hellenistic self-cultivation as vital conceptual tools to formulate a theory of cultivating our passionate attachments. First, their accounts offer the conceptual resources for a philosophical theory of how we can cultivate our passionate attachments. Second, the exercises of self-cultivation they focus on allow us to outline a practical method though which we can cultivate our passionate character. Doing this brings out a significantly new dimension to the role of the passionate attachments in the flourishing life and offers theoretical and practical accounts of how we can cultivate them based on the Hellenistic conception of self-directed character change.Cultivating Our Passionate Attachments will be of interest to advanced students and scholars working in virtue ethics, moral philosophy, and ancient philosophy.

This open access book shows how value sensitive design (VSD), responsible innovation, and comprehensive engineering can guide the rapid development of technological responses to the COVID-19 crisis. Responding to the ethical challenges of data-driven technologies and other tools requires thinking about values in the context of a pandemic as well as in a post-COVID world. Instilling values must be prioritized from the beginning, not only in the emergency response to the pandemic, but in how to proceed with new societal precedents materializing, new norms of health surveillance, and new public health requirements.The contributors with expertise in VSD bridge the gap between ethical acceptability and social acceptance. By addressing ethical acceptability and societal acceptance together, VSD guides COVID-technologies in a way that strengthens their ability to fight the virus, and outlines pathways for the resolution of moral dilemmas. This volume provides diachronic reflections on the crisis response to address long-term moral consequences in light of the post-pandemic future. Both contact-tracing apps and immunity passports must work in a multi-system environment, and will be required to succeed alongside institutions, incentive structures, regulatory bodies, and current legislation. This text appeals to students, researchers and importantly, professionals in the field.

The Future of Digital Well-Being explores how digital technologies and artificial intelligence are reshaping human flourishing and the meaning of the good life, with insights from philosophy, ethics, psychology, and communication science.Interest in digital well-being has increased in recent years as researchers from many disciplines have acknowledged the power of emerging technologies to dramatically affect our lives. Studying digital well-being requires us to engage with age-old questions about the nature of human flourishing and how to cultivate it, while simultaneously striving to understand how artificial intelligence and other digital technologies are changing the very nature and meaning of the good life. To do this, the contributors use conceptual and empirical tools from a wide range of disciplines, including philosophy, psychology, and communication science, to illuminate the importance of digital well-being in the age of artificial intelligence. In the final part of the book, the chapters introduce ethical perspectives from non-Western traditions, showing how designing effectively for digital well-being requires that we make use of global conceptual resources.This book is designed to appeal to an international audience, with contributors and perspectives drawn from both Western and non-Western contexts. Practitioners and industry professionals interested in the ethical implications and practical applications of digital technologies will find this book useful, and it will be of particular interest to those engaged in interdisciplinary research on digital well-being, including philosophy, psychology, communication studies, ethics, and STS.
