Cyberspace and Moral Community

Computer Ethics Institute, April 27, 1993

Patrick F. Sullivan , Computer Ethics Institute


“In a socio-electronic environment, what kind of community can we be talking about, if we can talk about one at all in a sense relevant to the consistency and conclusiveness of moral claims? How can we speak intelligibly about a relationship between moral community and cyberspace? In what follows, I want to suggest an answer to these questions — one general question, really — and in doing so, hope to initiate a rethinking of the key terms involved.”
