Lenk, professor of philosophy at the University of Karlsruhe in West Germany, spoke on "Toward aPrag- matic Social Philosophy of Technology: An Aspect of Technological Ethics."Citing thegrowth of technology as the decisive factor in this inquiry, Lenk mentioned such areas as man's newly acquired ability to change himself by genetics, responsibility to unborn generat- ions, and progressive technocracy (technology as used inbureaucracy). Lenk described the technologicalimperative as "Can implies ought," a reversal of Kant's categorical impera- tive, "Ought implies can." Lenk outlined variouschangesneeded intechnologi- cal ethics. Our society must moveTrom acausal to apre- ventive view of technology, with extended responsibili- V B ■< ty for the future. Moreover, emphasis must be shifted from individual to collective responsibility for actions. Concluding that ethical thinking mustbe changedin a pragmatic way,Lenk cited twelve theses of a philoso- phy of technology. Among these were that power and knowledge create obligations, that can does not neces- rHH^ L ; It I % V H V Ik JH K^ifl A sarily imply ought,and that philosophers ought tofoster moral consciousness. As an expedient to this latter point, Lenk suggested thatethics ought to be requiredas a subject in school. Lenk pointed out that in assuming a new view of technology with extended responsibility, moral man achieves a special dignity. "He who has more obliga- tions has more rights," Lenk said. In addition to his work in the philosophy of technol- ogy, Lenk has studied mathematical logic and most re- "'* " " : >'*'■; Ay■Spiff. ... '":f.S"'! ■■'";.... - ■ cently the philosophy of sport.

Lenk is awaiting confirmation of his election to the UNESCO committee of West Germany. Lenk distinguishedhimself as an athlete in the I960 Olympic Games when he won a goldmedal in crew. He has also been a European rowing champion and the coach of a successful crew team. Lenk traveled to Davidson after attending the New York Colloquium on Philosophy and Technology in early September where he read a paper entitled "What Are the Social Implications of Computers?"
