Abstract
Humans are meta-level beings - meta-interpretative, meta-ethical and meta-technological.
In many respects they are able to use abstract concepts, symbols conceived on and for higher (meta-)levels. This is apparently an epistemological necessity for generalizing in any cognitive, ethical, practical, scientific and technological area. Here the humanities come in: indispensably they are interpretative disciplines dependent on signs, object- and meta-language as well as (meta-)theories. All that is true also for technologies and industry where notorious problems of responsibility are to be met - an all-too-human focus of moral(s) and meta-ethics - The article presents a tour d'horizon of the author's methodological “scheme interpretationist” from “going meta-level” as a hallmark of humanity through humanitarian ethics towards applied responsibility problems in technology and a techno-humanistically interpreted society.
