Abstract

The initial point of this paper is that when we are engaged with theworld, with human beings and morality in a technological or techno-scientific framework, we are projecting an interest of power - our interest to know how things “work” — into our conceptual scheme. In contrast to a technological understanding, I suggest that human beings are characterised by a non-technological moral necessity. I characterise this moral necessity as an inherent responsiveness, an I-you relationship, whereas my claim is that a technological conception of morality takes as its ethical basis collective social identities.
