Si l’on cesse de regarder le paysage comme l’objet d’une industrie on découvre subitement – est-ce un oubli du cartographe, une négligence du politique ? – une quantité d’espaces indécis, dépourvus de fonction sur lesquels il est difficile de porter un nom. Cet ensemble n’appartient ni au territoire de l’ombre ni à celui de la lumière. Il se situe aux marges. Gilles Clément porte son regard sur les lisières, les marges de champs, les terrains en attente, les reliquats non exploités du paysage. En suivant point par point ce manifeste, le lecteur comprendra que le Tiers paysage relève d’une perception, d’une relation d’un certain type au vivant, à l’espace et aux institutions qui en prennent en charge l’aménagement. Ce texte invite à cultiver des espaces de « non-agir » à tous les niveaux de nos vies, à l’heure où les injonctions climatiques et économiques peuvent nous sembler contradictoires – urgence à agir d’un côté et visions effondristes de l’autre. Paru il y a près de vingt ans, ce manifeste est aujourd’hui accompagné d’un état des lieux des mises en pratique de Tiers paysages donnant ainsi à voir le chemin parcouru depuis sa première édition. Il est introduit par Alexis Pernet, qui interroge le statut de ce texte hors norme et redessine le cheminement d’une pensée qui, assurément, a profondément marqué le paysage.

This book considers the question: to what extent does it make sense to qualify technical artefacts as moral entities? The authors’ contributions trace recent proposals and topics including instrumental and non-instrumental values of artefacts, agency and artefactual agency, values in and around technologies, and the moral significance of technology. The editors’ introduction explains that as ‘agents’ rather than simply passive instruments, technical artefacts may actively influence their users, changing the way they perceive the world, the way they act in the world and the way they interact with each other. This volume features the work of various experts from around the world, representing a variety of positions on the topic. Contributions explore the contested discourse on agency in humans and artefacts, defend the Value Neutrality Thesis by arguing that technological artefacts do not contain, have or exhibit values, or argue that moral agency involves both human and non-human elements. The book also investigates technological fields that are subject to negative moral valuations due to the harmful effects of some of their products. It includes an analysis of some difficulties arising in Artificial Intelligence and an exploration of values in Chemistry and in Engineering. The Moral Status of Technical Artefacts is an advanced exploration of the various dimensions of the relations between technology and morality.
