Definition(s)
- This entry presents the historical background and conceptual development of moral questions as well as of methodological and scientific issues comprising the ethics of information, viewing information and communication especially in its technological form. Historical Background Information ethics, understood as a philosophical discipline dealing with good and bad practices of human communication, has a long history going back, in the Western tradition, to the question of freedom of speech (parrhesia) in the Greek polis, dealing particularly with the Sophists' and Socrates's criticisms of the mores, principles, and concepts underlying communication in all its practical and theoretical dimensions.
