Author Information

Soraj Hongladarom is Professor of Philosophy and Director of the Center for Ethics of Science and Technology at Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok, Thailand. He has published books and articles on such diverse issues as bioethics, computer ethics, and the roles that science and technology play in the culture of developing countries. His concern is mainly on how science and technology can be integrated into the life-world of the people in the so-called Third World countries, and what kind of ethical considerations need to be addressed. A large part of this question concerns how information technology is integrated in the lifeworld of the Thai people, and especially how such integration is expressed in issues such as privacy and freedom of expression, as well as the use of information technology in education and how the roots of critical thinking can be found in Asian culture. He is editor of Information Technology Ethics: Cultural Perspectives (with Charles Ess), and of Food Security and Food Safety for the Twenty-First Century. His works have appeared in Ethics and Information Technology, Minds and Machines, The Information Society, AI & Society, Philosophy in the Contemporary World, and Social Epistemology, among others.
