Department of (Social-)Ethics

Welcome to the Department of (Social) Ethics!

We explore ethical questions in the interplay between society and technology. We research how new technologies change social life foms and institutions and how to responsibly shape these changes. By using empirical and analytical-hermeneutic methods we evaluate social norms or concepts. We examine how they can provide orientation or need to be innovated and rethought. By this we develop options for behavior and action for the social dealing with new technologies.
