By focusing on the gun as technology, whose design influences the way we use--and abuse--it, he reveals how we may advance gun safety, and calm our violent culture, in a manner that sidesteps the usual pitfalls of the debate." Firmin Debrabander, Professor of Philosophy, Maryland Institute College of Art, USA". Alan Reids philosophical meditation on guns anticipates the research from other fields in positing that the mere presence of guns changes human behavior. That fundamental insight is only now finding empirical confirmation, yet it is a testament to Reids thoughtful, timely, and highly readable analysis that he has arrived at the same conclusion and uses that insight to great effectiveness in this new work. Robert J. Spitzer, Distinguished Service Professor of Political Science Emeritus, SUNY, Cortland, USA This book uses a philosophy of technology to demonstrate that guns are predisposed for an intentional use, making them inherently non-neutral artifacts. This argument rejects the often-cited value neutral thesis and instrumentalist view that "guns dont kill people; people kill people", and instead, explains the lethality of the gun through the lenses of affordance theory, behavioral design, and choice architecture. Ultimately, this book proposes an ethical and value-sensitive model for gun reform, which embodies the perspective of French philosopher Bruno Latour, who said, "You are different with a gun in your hand; the gun is different with you holding it." Alan J. Reid is an Associate Professor of First-Year Writing & Instructional Technologies at Coastal Carolina University where he teaches courses in composition, new media, and graduate writing and research. He is also an Evaluation Analyst in the Center for Research and Reform in Education at Johns Hopkins University and teaches graduate courses in technology and design for the JHU School of Education. 001449072 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001449072 650_0 $$aFirearms and crime. 001449072 650_0 $$aTechnology$$xPhilosophy. 001449072 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001449072 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aREID, ALAN.$$tPHILOSOPHY OF GUN VIOLENCE.$$d[Place of publication not identified] : PALGRAVE MACMILLAN, 2022$$z303111003X$$w(OCoLC)1330405518 001449072 852__ $$bebk 001449072 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-11004-7$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001449072 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1449072$$pGLOBAL_SET 001449072 980__ $$aBIB 001449072 980__ $$aEBOOK 001449072 982__ $$aEbook 001449072 983__ $$aOnline 001449072 994__ $$a92$$bISE
