A Primer On The Ethics Of "intellectual Property"
This primer provides a general framework for freeing any information covered under copyright and patent laws.

Extractions: on this website and elsewhere , is copiable without restrictions. Over the last several years, especially after I wrote the Free Music Philosophy in mid-1993, I have been arguing about the so-called "rights to intellectual property" on the Internet. Generally, if you're on the same wavelength, the argument proceeds well and is even illuminating at times. But sometimes you're arguing with people who lack the fundamentals in logic or intellectual property issues and pointing out their lack of logic leads to the reverse accusation and the argument degenerates into a situation where each person accuses the other of being illogical. Sometimes, people (intentionally or otherwise) misunderstand you, because you have to make arguments you've spent years thinking about in a few posts, usually under some time constraint. This is not meant as an insult to anyone; some of it I think stems from using this medium for communication. What I have done here is provide some logical rationale for many of the statements I might make, in a question and answer format. Why is the abridgement of the [freedom of] copying, use, distribution, and modification of published information unethical?

Extractions: University of San Diego Classic Texts in Ethics Many major works in the history of ethics are now available on-line in electronic versions. Some are simply ASCI or text files; as such, they contain a minimum of formating, but otherwise are quite serviceably. These can easily be searched or downloaded, and take up relatively little room in proportion to the amount of text they contain. Other files are in RTF, Rich Text Format, a standard developed by Microsoft that most word processors can use. These contain formatting niceties such as italics not found in ASCI files. A few files, although none currently on this list, are in Adobe Acrobat format, a very robust format that allows extensive formatting possibilities. A viewer for these files is available without charge from Adobe . Finally, some files are in HTML, hypertext markup language. Special note should be made of the files available at the Perseus Project at Tufts University. They are HTML files that make full use of the hypertext character of HTML. Click on any highlighted word (e.g., a proper name in one of Plato's dislogues), and you will automatically be taken to the entry for that name in a classical encyclopedia.

http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/ethics-environmental/

Extractions: JUN Environmental ethics is the discipline that studies the moral relationship of human beings to, and also the value and moral status of, the environment and its nonhuman contents. This entry covers: (1) the challenge of environmental ethics to the anthropocentrism (i.e., human-centeredness) embedded in traditional western ethical thinking; (2) the early development of the discipline in the 1960s and 1970s; (3) the connection of deep ecology, feminist environmental ethics, and social ecology to politics; (4) the attempt to apply traditional ethical theories, including consequentialism, deontology, and virtue ethics, to support contemporary environmental concerns; and (5) the focus of environmental literature on wilderness, and possible future developments of the discipline. 1. Introduction: The Challenge of Environmental Ethics
The Problem Of Natural Evil
The study of ethics, traditionally, consists of two parts, one concerned with moralrules, the This comes from two sources philosophy and mystical religion.
http://hem.passagen.se/nicb/russell.htm

Extractions: Those who maintain the insufficiency of science, as we have seen in the last two chapters, appeal to the fact that science has nothing to say about "values." This I admit; but when it is inferred that ethics contains truths which cannot be proved or disproved by science, I disagree. The matter is one on which it is not altogether easy to think clearly, and my own views on it are quite different from what they were thirty years ago. But it is necessary to be clear about it if we are to appraise such arguments as those in support of Cosmic Purpose. As there is no consensus of opinion about ethics, it must be understood that what follows is my personal belief, not the dictum of science. One of the ways in which the need of appealing to external rules of conduct has been avoided has been the belief in "conscience," which has been especially important in Protestant ethics. It has been supposed that God reveals to each human heart what is right and what is wrong, so that, in order to avoid sin, we have only to listen to the inner voice. There are, however, two difficulties in this theory: first, that conscience says different things to different people; secondly, that the study of the unconscious has given us an understanding of the mundane causes of conscientious feelings. Philosophers, by a different road, have arrived at a different position in which, also, moral rules of conduct have a subordinate place. They have framed the concept of the Good, by which they mean (roughly speaking) that which, in itself and apart from its consequences, we should wish to see existing - or, if they are theists, that which is pleasing to God. Most people would agree that happiness is preferable to unhappiness, friendliness to unfriendliness, and so on. Moral rules, according to this view, are justified if they promote the existence of what is good on its own account, but not otherwise. The prohibition of murder, in the vast majority of cases, can be justified by its effects, but the practice of burning widows on their husband's funeral pyre cannot. The former rule, therefore, should be retained, but not the latter. Even the best moral rules, however, will have
An Introduction To Ethics (Moral Philosophy)
An introductory pamphlet aimed at students in an introductory level college course in ethics or anyone who would like to learn about moral philosophy on his or her own. By Rick Garlikov.
http://www.akat.com/Ethics.html

Extractions: (approximately 55-60 8.5x11 pages in normal font sizes) This work consists of two chapters from the book The Meaning of Love , by Richard Garlikov, which serve as a self-contained introduction to the subject of ethics. This introduction should be helpful to anyone who is taking an introductory level college course in ethics or anyone who would like to learn about moral philosophy on his or her own. The introduction is logical and analytic but should be interesting, readable, and clear to any reasonably serious reader, especially one who likes to think about a subject while reading. Interesting, easily recognized examples from daily life illustrate and explain the points that are made. Included Topics: "Who's to say" what is right or wrong? (And "Does morality depend on religion or what God says?") The meaning of terms such as 'good', 'bad', 'right', 'wrong', 'duty', 'ought', 'obligation', 'motive', 'consequences', 'intentions', etc.

PHIL 236.3 -- Ethics And Technology Forum

Extractions: About the the Forum The Ethics and Technology Forum is a perfectly ordinary (though reasonably full-featured) web-based bulletin board system (BBS). It exists for two main purposes: 1) to provide a forum for students in PHIL 236 at the University of Saskatchewan to discuss and ask questions about the course and, as a separate mandate, 2) to provide a forum for anyone who happens to be interested in discussing issues related to ethics, philosophy and technology. It's an experiment: I have no idea how popular or how useful it will turn out to be.

Extractions: Environmental Ethics/Philosophy This page is my final project in the Environmental Studies Capstone Seminar at Swarthmore College which is required to complete an Environmental Studies Concentration . It is intended to provide a variety of sources for information about a range of topics in environmental ethics/philosophy. You may view the list of topics considered during the class by going to the index, see the essays we read by following the essays link, go to a page of annotated web links I found applicable to each topic (through links), or read papers my classmates and I wrote after reflecting on the listed essays (student papers). Section I of each page addresses more obviously philosophically-oriented ethical questions (such as: What has intrinsic value?), wheras Section II considers places where ethics are applied to practical environmental issues. I hope this proves useful to you!

Extractions: Fundamentals All of these essays are informed by my agreement with Dummett on the central role of Frege's thought in modern philosophy. Dummett says: "... in concentrating so single-mindedly on the area in which he worked, Frege also gave to it a central place in philosophy; and, in doing this, he achieved a revolution as overwhelming as that of Descartes." Dummett: "Frege, Philosophy of Language" , 1st Edition, p665) Elsewhere Dummett conjectures that Frege provided philosophy with that which it lacked for so long, namely a central organising methodology. "Only with Frege was the proper object of philosophy finally established: namely, first, that the goal of philosophy is the analysis of the structure of

Philosophy - Introduction
Dialogues on truth, competition, ethics and logic intended for education of children.
http://members.ozemail.com.au/~jpascal/intro.htm

Extractions: It is said that James I set out to discover the fundamental ability of the human mind: That he seized a newborn baby and had it reared without any exposure to human language, in order to show that the natural human language was Hebrew. This was of course a simplistic approach. The human brain has some natural abilities, but human behaviour is very dependent on culture. If the only education provided is of the most primitive kind, then behaviour will be primitive. If Mozart had been exposed to only elementary percussion music for the first 10 years of his life, he would never have written a symphony. Failure of humankind to grasp certain facts and logical techniques held back further progress until either the fact was discovered or the new technique was developed. It is said that the progress of science was retarded for hundreds of years after Aristotle until the method of seeking truth through revealed knowledge was finally discarded in favour of the empirical method. It seems rational, then, to try to ensure that children are exposed as early as possible to ways of thinking which have been found, over the millennia of human culture, to be productive. In many areas, parents do this without perhaps realising the essential nature of the foundation they are laying down: We have already noted the cultural basis of language. Counting rhymes and the like inculcate a basic grasp of arithmetic which it took several hundred thousand years of human culture to develop. Stories and systematic mythology build imaginative ability and perhaps encourage theoretical concept formation. In the factual area, pre-school children have no difficulty grasping a heliocentric concept of the solar system rather than a geocentric one. Nor do they have much difficulty in accepting that a light stone falls as fast as a heavy stone. Even such elementary facts as these give children a head start on the natural philosophers of 500 years ago.

http://www.iep.utm.edu/e/ethics.htm

Extractions: Ethics The field of ethics, also called moral philosophy, involves systematizing, defending, and recommending concepts of right and wrong behavior. Philosophers today usually divide ethical theories into three general subject areas: metaethics, normative ethics, and applied ethics. Metaethics investigates where our ethical principles come from, and what they mean. Are they merely social inventions? Do they involve more than expressions of our individual emotions? Metaethical answers to these questions focus on the issues of universal truths, the will of God, the role of reason in ethical judgments, and the meaning of ethical terms themselves. Normative ethics takes on a more practical task, which is to arrive at moral standards that regulate right and wrong conduct. This may involve articulating the good habits that we should acquire, the duties that we should follow, or the consequences of our behavior on others. Finally, applied ethics involves examining specific controversial issues, such as abortion, infanticide, animal rights, environmental concerns, homosexuality, capital punishment, or nuclear war. By using the conceptual tools of metaethics and normative ethics, discussions in applied ethics try to resolve these controversial issues. The lines of distinction between metaethics, normative ethics, and applied ethics are often blurry. For example, the issue of abortion is an applied ethical topic since it involves a specific type of controversial behavior. But it also depends on more general normative principles, such as the right of self-rule and the right to life, which are litmus tests for determining the morality of that procedure. The issue also rests on metaethical issues such as, "where do rights come from?" and "what kind of beings have rights?"

http://www.iep.utm.edu/k/kantmeta.htm

Extractions: Metaphysics Immanuel Kant is one of the most influential philosophers in the history of Western philosophy. His contributions to metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, and aesthetics have had a profound impact on almost every philosophical movement that followed him. This portion of the Encyclopedia entry will focus on his metaphysics and epistemology in one of his most important works, The Critique of Pure Reason . (All references will be to the A (1781) and B(1787) edition pages in Werner Pluhar's translation. Indianapolis: Hackett, 1996.) A large part of Kant's work addresses the question "What can we know?" The answer, if it can be stated simply, is that our knowledge is constrained to mathematics and the science of the natural, empirical world. It is impossible, Kant argues, to extend knowledge to the supersensible realm of speculative metaphysics. The reason that knowledge has these constraints, Kant argues, is that the mind plays an active role in constituting the features of experience and limiting the mind's access to the empirical realm of space and time. Table of Contents (Clicking on the links below will take you to that part of this article) Kant's Answers to his Predecessors ... Sources Historical Background to Kant In order to understand Kant's position, we must understand the philosophical background that he was reacting to. First, I will present a brief overview of his predecessor's positions with a brief statement of Kant's objections, then I will return to a more detailed exposition of Kant's arguments. There are two major historical movements in the early modern period of philosophy that had a significant impact on Kant: Empiricism and Rationalism. Kant argues that both the method and the content of these philosophers' arguments contain serious flaws. A central epistemological problem for philosophers in both movements was determining how we can escape from within the confines of the human mind and the immediately knowable content of our own thoughts to acquire knowledge of the world outside of us. The Empiricists sought to accomplish this through the senses and
