Topic: Technoprogressivism


  
  Techno-progressivism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Techno-progressivism, technoprogressivism, or tech-progressivism, is a stance of active support for technological development.
Techno-progressives believe that technological developments can be profoundly empowering and emancipatory when they are regulated by legitimate democratic and accountable authorities to ensure that their costs, risks and benefits are all fairly shared by the actual stakeholders to those developments.
Technoprogressivism maintains that accounts of "progress" should focus on both scientific/instrumental dimensions as well as political/moral ones.

At its heart technoprogressivism is simply the insistence that whenever we talk about "progress" we must always keep equally in mind and in hand both its scientific/instrumental dimensions but also its political/moral ones.
