Langdon Winner-claims that low overpasses etc. "embody a systematic social inequality" that becomes

"part of the landscape"...social inequality is a moral value, so if this is part of the landscape then

technological artifacts embody morality




Peter-Paul Verbeek-"moral agency is distributed over both humans and technological artifacts"... no

boundary between humans and technology (like Latour)...but many technological artifacts blur the

distinction between subject and object so should ascribe moral agency to hybrid entities consisting of

both subjects and objects


According to the "Common Sense View," technological artifacts take on moral properties when used for

good or evil by human beings




T/F - Ans:✔✔-F




this view holds that artifacts have no moral properties in themselves


The difference between the "Common Sense" and "Strong" views toward the morality of technological

artifacts is a matter of the degree to which people blame artifacts for immoral actions

T/F - Ans:✔✔-F




not a matter of degree, rather fundamental difference between views regarding whether artifacts can be

held morally responsible for certain actions

Latour calls artifacts "actants" in an "Actor Network," the constituents of which form one and the same

entity that is responsible for certain actions


Which of the following statements best represents the "Strong View" toward the morality of

technological artifacts?

human responsibility

Ans:✔✔-b




It is to this unit that we should attribute moral responsibility, rather than distinguishing between the

human agent and the artifact
