He also argues that research without a utilitarian objective, such as pure scientific research, is equally important and should be supported.The book covers a range of topics, including the history of engineering and industrial research, the ethical responsibilities of engineers and researchers, the role of government in supporting research, and the importance of collaboration between different fields of research.Overall, ""Motive and Obligation"" is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the role of research and engineering in society, and the ethical considerations that come with that role.
