Craft and Reform in Moral Exemplars in Computing
نویسنده
چکیده
This is a progress report of a project to identify and interview moral exemplars in computing. Initial analyses of the interviews suggests that there are at least two types of moral exemplars, craftspersons (who use the values extant in computing to produce products that help clients) and reformers (who try to change the culture of computing based on external values). We explore the differences in these approaches and propose a first sketch of a positive model of the skills/virtues needed to be an effective ethical computing professional.

متن کاملA Plea for Moral Deference
It seems to be a commonplace of the philosophical literature that there is no such thing as moral expertise. Or perhaps, more narrowly, that there is no such thing as justified deference to moral expertise, when there is moral expertise.
