The Art Of Mind Ethics You In The Information Society

Description

We are very proud to present this essay collection The Art of Ethics in the Information Society – Mind You. The digital age is everywhere in our lives. It changes our jobs and employability. It disrupts existing models of trade, communication, care ... life. It completely alters the range of actors, governors, and identities... Do we understand this? Do we want this? Can we stop this? Do we even want to stop this? These questions call for a visualisation of the ethical issues that are involved, since YOU, as a participant in the information society, need food for thought in this transitional phase. Food to be able to understand and decide, or even just to participate while preserving your own values and norms. Since our start in 1999 the ambition of ECP Platform for the Information Society, is to establish a successful digital society that we can trust. ECP is leading, from a neutral non-profit position, in organising breakthrough programmes in the Netherlands. ECP and its members from business, science, government, and civil society foundations aim to stimulate the development of the information society, through creating the necessary economic, social, and political preconditions. A key element is to stimulate debate on ethics and technology; a debate that concerns the quality of life of all Dutch citizens as well as the economic competitiveness of the country. The content of this essay collection can spark the imagination of YOU and everyone else in the digital society: OUR twenty-first century society. It can certainly help to provoke a discussion about the design of our society in the digital age.
