Description
The Ethics of Information by Luciano Floridi is a comprehensive philosophical exploration of the ethical implications of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) on human life and society. This book provides the conceptual foundations for Information Ethics, a new area of research that investigates the ethical impact of ICTs. Floridi examines pressing issues such as privacy, ownership, freedom of speech, responsibility, technological determinism, the digital divide, and online pornography, among others. He argues that these concerns require a philosophical approach to understand their implications on our moral lives and contemporary ethical debates. By laying down the conceptual foundations for Information Ethics, Floridi offers a unique contribution to the field, one that has been influenced by professional and technical approaches so far. This book is an essential resource for anyone seeking to understand the complex relationships between ICTs, ethics, and society.
