Ethical dilemmas have risen in number and intensity with the increasing dependence of contemporary society on computers and computer networks. Despite the proliferation of expert remedies, viable solutions to computer security issues remain too elusive, and society continues to suffer at the hands of cyber criminals, vandals, and hackers.This comprehensive third edition of the successful Ethical and Social Issues in the Information Age takes off where the second ended to examine ethical, social, and policy challenges stemming from the emergence of cyberspace, the convergence of telecommunication and computing technologies, and the miniaturalization of computing, telecommunication, and information-enabling devices. This accessible volume broadly surveys thought-provoking questions about the impact of these new technologies, with particular emphasis on the rapid growth of a multitude of computer networks, including the Internet. It assumes only a very modest familiarity with the basic computer literacy.Topics and features:• Describes how changes in information technology influence morality and the law• Provides fundamental discussion of network-security system design and operation to reveal vulnerable areas in computer network infrastructure (NEW chapter)• Surveys the history of computing and the evolution of computer crimes• Explores biometric techniques to system access control (NEW chapter)• Incorporates recent requirements for computer curricula• Introduces and explores techniques in electronic crime investigation (NEW chapter)• Assesses workplace concerns related to privacy, surveillance, and virtual offices• Offers a pertinent discussion on civil liberties, harassment, and discrimination• Contains chapter-ending exercises, and the author provides instructor classroom support materials and teaching guides at his websiteThis newly revised text/reference provides an updated discussion of the ethical and social issues that continue to evolve as computing and information technologies proliferate.

OUGHTS AND THOUGHTS

by Anandi Hattiangadi

0 Comments

Subject: Meaning (Philosophy), Skepticism,

In Oughts and Thoughts, Anandi Hattiangadi provides an innovative response to the argument for meaning skepticism set out by Saul Kripke in Wittgenstein on Rules and Private Language. Kripke asks what makes it the case that anybody ever means anything by any word, and argues that there are no facts of the matter as to what anybody ever means. Kripke’s argument has inspired a lively and extended debate in the philosophy of language, as it raises some of the most fundamental issues in the field: namely, the reality, privacy, and normativity of meaning. Hattiangadi argues that in order to achieve the radical conclusion that there are no facts as to what a person means by a word, the skeptic must rely on the thesis that meaning is normative, and that this thesis fails. Since any “skeptical solution” to the skeptical problem is irremediably incoherent, Hattiangadi concludes that there must be a fact of the matter about what we mean. In addition to providing an overview of the debate on meaning and content skepticism, Hattiangadi presents a detailed discussion of the contributions made by Simon Blackburn, Paul Boghossian, Robert Brandom, Fred Dretske, John McDowell, and Crispin Wright, among others, to the controversy surrounding Kripke’s argument. The issues considered include the normativity of meaning and its relation to the normativity of moral judgments, reductive and non-reductive theories of meaning, deflationism about truth and meaning, and the privacy of meaning.
