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.

MIT Education on the Web

As an add on to Steve Bowbrick's post of February 24, on Digital Disobedience: Intellectual Property, I would like to point out that MIT has made several of their courses available for free on the web under the title MIT Opencourseware. One of their courses is called Ethics and law on the Electronic Frontier, and considers the interaction between law, policy and technology as they relate to the evolving controversies over control of the internet.
