- People spread a wide spectrum with regard to their attitute
towards computer ethics. According to Moor, what are the two extremes
along this spectrum? What is the logic behind each of them and why does
Moor deem them unacceptable?
- In Jim's first question set we've encountered the terms "logical
malleability" and "informational enrichment" as the characteristics of
computing. What is the special nature of computer ethics in comparison
with ethics related to other fields? How is this nature related to the
two characteristics of computing?
- What does Moor mean by "Reason" and "Relativity"? What are the
"core values" he identified in the article? Do you think Moor mentioned
any "core value" that was specific to computer ethics?
- Moor proposed two techniques to solve the problems raised in the
beginning of his article. What are the two techniques? What do you think
of them? In particular, how could we idendify a problem as either
solvable or residual? Do you think his attempt to distinguish himself
from other thought camps was successful?
