Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The journal publishes research on the intersection of science, technology, and society (STS), with a particular focus on the philosophical and ethical implications of scientific advancements, technological development, and the study of animal cognition and behavior. Several articles explore the concept of normativity in non-human animals, drawing on the work of Frans de Waal, and its relevance to legal and philosophical theory. Other topics include the nature of bio-artifacts in synthetic biology, the societal impact of digital production platforms, the ethics of robotics, and the challenges faced by women in social sciences during the pandemic.
