Nanotecnologia: considerações interdisciplinares sobre processos técnicos, sociais, éticos e de investigação.

The present text aims at eliciting the epistemological and methodological character of reflections on nanotechnology, society and ethics through the contribution of disciplines that integrate the Interdisciplinary Post-Graduation Program in Human Sciences of the Federal University of Santa Catarina. The reading and discussion of texts and books of expressive scholars of the human and natural sciences, together with the participation of professors of several disciplines, allow an interdisciplinary formulation of the theme in question. It highlights the challenge of dynamizing the relationship between nanotechnology, society and ethics when considering its legal, political and social implications. This challenge is still unpublished in Brazil and is the central question that must be deepened and rethought. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
