The question of the conditions of possibility of doing TechEthics and its relation to the normative foundations of democracy is at the center of this talk. The argument starts from a description of polarized societies and shows that common morality approaches characteristic of TechE are doomed to fail. Starting from an analysis of the normativity of radical moral pluralism a framework to address radical pluralism and polarization is sketched. How the framework can be used to solve some conundrums of TechE is then considered.
