  text: '<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Today, a major technological trend
    is the increasing focus on the person: technical systems personalize, customize,
    and tailor to the person in both beneficial and troubling ways. This trend has
    moved beyond the realm of commerce and has become a matter of public governance,
    where systems for citizen risk scoring, predictive policing, and social credit
    scores proliferate. What these systems have in common is that they may target
    the person and her ethical and political dispositions, her virtues. Virtue ethics
    is the most appropriate approach for evaluating the impacts of these new systems,
    which has translated in a revival of talk about virtue in technology ethics. Yet,
    the focus on individual dispositions has rightly been criticized for lacking a
    concern with the political collective and institutional structures. This paper
    advocates a new direction of research into civic virtue, which is situated in
    between personal dispositions and structures of governance. First, it surveys
    the discourse on virtue ethics of technology, emphasizing its neglect of the political
    dimension of impacts of emerging technologies. Second, it presents a pluralist
    conception of civic virtue that enables us to scrutinize the impact of technology
    on civic virtue on three different levels of reciprocal reputation building, the
    cultivation of internal goods, and excellence in the public sphere. Third, it
    illustrates the benefits of this conceptions by discussing some paradigmatic examples
    of emerging technologies that aim to cultivate civic virtue.</jats:p>'

  text: "<jats:p>\r\nIn a case study approach, the paper traces how technological
    expectations have been influential in the creation of European institutions, R&amp;D
    programmes and regulatory instruments and how they have contributed to processes
    of European integration. The first case study shows how the promises of a coming
    ‘Atomic Age’ have been mobilized to support the foundation of the European Atomic
    Energy Community and, thus, contributed to European integration in the post-WW2
    era. The second case study analyses how the security stream within the EU’s framework
    programmes for R&amp;D is shaped by the promise of ‘technosecurity’ and enacts
    the normative claim of the EU’s security integration in the post-Cold War era.
    The third case study analyses how the EU’s AI strategy and AI act articulates
    the vision of a ‘human-centric AI’ and how this vision is related to the EU’s
    current attempt to restore citizens’ trust in times of crisis.</jats:p>"

  text: <jats:p>There is a tension in Emilie Du Châtelet’s thought on mathematics.
    The objects of mathematics are ideal or fictional entities; nevertheless, mathematics
    is presented as indispensable for an account of the physical world. After outlining
    Du Châtelet’s position, and showing how she departs from Christian Wolff’s pessimism
    about Newtonian mathematical physics, I show that the tension in her position
    is only apparent. Du Châtelet has a worked-out defense of the explanatory and
    epistemic need for mathematical objects, consistent with their metaphysical nonfundamentality.
    I conclude by sketching how Du Châtelet’s conception of mathematical indispensability
    differs interestingly from many contemporary approaches.</jats:p>
