Abstract

The thoughtful and highly constructive commentaries from Don Howard, Emily McRae and Howard Curzer on my book, Technology and the Virtues: A Philosophical Guide to a Future Worth Wanting, are a pleasure to grapple with. I sincerely thank Diane P. Michelfelder for organizing their publication, and for proposing and moderating the special author-meets-critics session at the American Philosophical Association’s Central Division meeting in Kansas City, Missouri in March 2017, at which these commentaries were originally given. I also wish to thank all three contributors for their careful critical insights, which I will examine in turn and then offer some overarching thoughts and questions in reply.
