Reviews for The Ethics of Information
Floridi's book challenges standard ethics. In standard ethics, life has priority in moral evaluation. However, in Floridi's Information Ethics, information systems are equal in moral value to living systems. Floridi develops his Ethics as part of a new ontological theory of the Infosphere.
