摘要:Our aim in this paper is to show how various new technologies (i.e. computers) play a crucial role in dealing with moral cognition. Following the idea of distributed morality introduced by Magnani, we illustrate the reasons why everyday technologies are not external to the context in which they operate, but they modify our capacity of coping with all those situations that involve some moral concern. An alternative view of moral agency is thus argued. Accordingly, artefacts are not only surrogate agents , but they redefine the boundaries of human moral agency that is continuously shaped by the interplay between an individual and his/her environment.
