An accomplishment difficult to achieve and that, on close examination, is constantly evading us, forever propelled forwards by facts and occurrences. This is the starting point adopted by Claudio A. Testi \u2013 entrepreneur and philosopher \u2013 in his article entitled \u201cL\u2019etica sociale di fronte al sistema tecnico: la sfida e le azioni\u201d (\u201cSocial ethics and the technical system: challenge and actions\u201d), a contribution to the October issue of the journal <em>Oikonomia<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Testi specifically sets out to tackle one of the most complex topics of our times: how to apply social ethics to the \u201ctechnical-economic system\u201d (TES), which he defines as \u201ca system essentially composed by three elements: A) labour-production, B) consumption-needs,<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>C) scientific education-research\u201d. In other words, the complex, multifaceted and ever-changing whole that encompasses and includes all that\u2019s human and technical and that is currently shaping our society in an extremely intricate manner, as each \u201celement affects the others\u201d. Testi juxtaposes this complex whole with social ethics \u2013 to be understood like any other kind of \u201cethics\u201d, that is, not teaching us how to \u201c<em>know<\/em> what is good and fair\u201d but leading us to \u201c<em>become<\/em> good and fair through concrete actions.\u201d He then finds a correlation with our current situation, including the obligation of facing the effects caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The author goes on to analyse the social ethics\/TES dyad from different perspectives \u2013 economic, social, cultural \u2013 before reaching some conclusions. As he writes, \u201cFor social ethics to generate a positive impact today, we need to understand the conundrum posed by the Technical-Economic System and acknowledge that concrete actions are not sufficient to \u2018solve\u2019 it. We also need to be aware that time and persevering determination are needed in order to change the technocratic future that is currently upon us. This is a tremendous, albeit unavoidable, task, yet we should not give in to despair and despondency. We have our own limitations, and as such we cannot immediately change everything; we can, however, dedicate the time we have available to a just and good cause.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Claudio Testi succeeds in summarising a topic that could not possibly be exhausted within a single journal article \u2013 indeed, it\u2019s a topic that needs constant exploration and updating. Nonetheless, his contribution stands out for its clarity and conciseness, and for providing readers with the basic foundations required to embark upon the important path leading to cultural development.<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/wpsite-assets.fondazionepirelli.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/25073955\/Testi.pdf\"><strong>L\u2019etica sociale di fronte al sistema tecnico: la sfida e le azioni<\/strong><\/a> <strong>(\u201cSocial ethics and the technical system: challenge and actions\u201d),<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Claudio A.
