A Companion to Digital Ethics

About this book

A compilation of cutting-edge, comprehensive insights into digital ethics from leading scholars

As digital technologies shape every aspect of today's society, ethical considerations have never been more pressing. In A Companion to Digital Ethics, editors Luciano Floridi and Mariarosaria Taddeo bring together leading experts to analyse key ethical challenges posed by artificial intelligence, privacy, cybersecurity, cyberwarfare, sustainability, digital consent, and many other topics. With a multidisciplinary approach, this authoritative volume introduces all the relevant topics in digital ethics clearly and accessibly, integrating insights from philosophy, law, computer science, and the social sciences.

Unlike other collections that focus on specialised research or introductory overviews, this Companion strikes a critical balance—offering a systematic, comprehensive, simple yet rigorous examination of digital ethics that is both conceptually rich and practically relevant. Each chapter can be read as part of the whole or independently. Throughout the book, the contributing authors equip the reader with diverse perspectives for navigating ethical dilemmas in the evolving digital landscape, with an essential list of references and further readings.

Integrating real-world examples and case studies throughout, A Companion to Digital Ethics:

  • Explores the ethical value and implications of digital technologies and their applications
  • Offers clear and precise analysis of both current and potential ethical challenges
  • Includes discussions of ethical issues in contexts of technology governance and digital law
  • Helps professionals and policymakers implement ethical principles in AI and digital technologies
  • Contains authoritative and cutting-edge chapters, edited by two leading experts in digital ethics

Whether used in academic courses or professional discussions on responsible digital innovation, A Companion to Digital Ethics is an essential guide to understanding and addressing the ethical questions of the digital age. It is a must-have resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students in any academic discipline, as well as policymakers and practitioners seeking to implement ethical frameworks for emerging technologies.
