About this blog

  • Thinking Ethics was a project launched in Geneva to foster the debate about ethics. A few friends, fed up with only reading about abuses in the media, decided to hold a forward-looking seminar on five subjects: ethics and performance, ethics and knowledge, ethics and consciousness, ethics and disobedience and ethics in real time. If moral has to do with right and wrong, then ethics is its application in society. We believe that people need to talk about the subject to determine the level of ethics they want. The book Thinking Ethics, a result of the seminar, is to start the discussion. This blog is a contribution to the conversation.

Ethics of outer space ?

I was on the UNESCO site, and given my bias for anything cross-cultural, got intrigued by a mention of ethics around the world and decided to check it out. And then I got sidetracted by a program on the ethics of outer space... You can imagine my excitement - how were they going to connect with other life forms and get them to share some forms of standards or agreements ? No such luck, it is all about the peaceful uses of outer space. Important, but not nearly as exciting...
