Our thesis, following John Dewey, is that argumentative ethical TA can be understood as a kind of cartography of situational value conflicts. The resulting “moral maps” aim to identify the need for scientific advice that informs public and political debate in specific decision-making situations as neutrally as possible. From a pragmatic perspective, however, “neutrality” does not entail normative abstinence. Rather, the point of departure is to re-construct the normative conflicts that are relevant in specific situations of technical decision making, deliberately approaching the values from multiple perspectives.</p>}, number={1}, journal={TATuP - Zeitschrift für Technikfolgenabschätzung in Theorie und Praxis}, author={Weydner-Volkmann, Sebastian}, year={2019}, month={Apr.}, pages={39–44} }
