Product Description
Review
From the reviews: "This book will interest students of modern ethics, psychology, and the human factors of cyberspace. … Ploug’s work is best suited for a graduate seminar. … if there is a need for face time in ethics and human interactions, this book is a valuable first step." (Brad Reid, ACM Computing Reviews, October, 2009) “A book on the ethics of interactions in cyberspace is both timely and important. … written in three sections, nine chapters and is designed to appeal to different readerships. … Ploug … more interested in ethical theory. His interest is in the logical relationships between different properties in cyberspace, how we establish and act on our beliefs about others, our beliefs about the world … . To my mind, these are all important questions of epistemology, including for phenomenologists.” (Erich von Dietze, Metapsychology Online Reviews, Vol. 14 (12), March, 2010)
Product Description
Over the last few decades information and communication technology has come to play an increasingly prominent role in our dealings with other people. Computers, in particular, have made available a host of new ways of interacting, which we have increasingly made use of. In the wake of this development a number of ethical questions have been raised and debated. Ethics in Cyberspace focuses on the consequences for ethical agency of mediating interaction by means of computers, seeking to clarify how the conditions of certain kinds of interaction in cyberspace (for example, in chat-rooms and virtual worlds) differ from the conditions of interaction face-to-face and how these differences may come to affect the behaviour of interacting agents in terms of ethics.
