The fourth revolution in our self-understandingIn Ruth Hagenbruger & Uwe V. Riss (eds.), Philosophy, computing and information science, Pickering & Chattoo. 2014.Science has two fundamental ways of changing our understanding.

Artificial agents and their moral natureIn Peter Kroes (ed.), The moral status of technical artefacts. 2014.Artificial agents, particularly but not only those in the infosphere Floridi (Information – A very short introduction. Oxford University Press, Oxford, 2010a), extend the class of entities that can be involved in moral situations, for they can be correctly interpreted as entities that can perform actions with good or evil impact (moral agents). In this chapter, I clarify the concepts of agent and of artificial agent and then distinguish between issues concerning their moral behaviour vs. issues …Read more
