Applied Ethics Group (GEA)

Applied ethics constitutes today one of the most fruitful research fields both in philosophy in particular and in the humanities and social sciences in general. Not surprisingly, it addresses the complexity and uncertainty of activities, practices and processes from ethical reflexivity and is therefore linked to the hottest public issues of our time: robotics and artificial intelligence, crisis of politics and good governance, human enhancement, human rights and duties, aging, etc. These topics are addressed by applying four principles: participation, interdisciplinarity, deliberation, and dissemination.
