Reviews
This volume presents a very timely collection of perspectives from virtue ethics and virtue epistemology on science and technology. The contributions present overviews of how insights from virtue are changing the way we understand science and technology... I would highly recommend that readers interested in the topic add the present volume to their reading lists. * Nafsika Athanassoulis, Metascience *
Reading is clearly recommended if one is seeking an insight into the interchange of virtues, science, and (some) technology. * Janine Gondolf, Tatup *
This volume is a valuable resource for scholars in science, philosophy of science, technology, and ethics. * J. A. Kegley, California State University, Bakersfield, Choice Connect *

Despite the importance of science and technology in today's world, virtue ethics in these domains remain underexplored. Science, Technology, and Virtues provides important conceptual insights into science, technology, epistemology, and research ethics and offers practical understandings that will enable us to live well as science and technology continue to advance in the 21st century. * Nancy E. Snow, Institute for the Study of Human Flourishing at the University of Oklahoma *
This interdisciplinary volume shows how questions of virtue can not only shape technology use and research ethics, but determine the practice of science itself. Virtue here transforms from a quaint inquiry of character into a powerful tool for understanding the fundamentals of modernity. * Matthew Stanley, New York University *
