Oxford Handbook of Digital Ethics

The Oxford Handbook of Digital Ethics offers a lively, authoritative, up-to-date exploration of pressing ethical issues in our digital world. An international team of philosophers, some pioneers of digital ethics, others experts in related areas of philosophy, give critical appraisals of research in the this fast-growing field and locate it in the broader philosophical context. They push the discipline forward by exploring novel approaches and arguments that will shape the agenda on digital ethics for years to come. The Handbook gives readers tools to better understand problems which face us now in our digital lives, and which are likely to emerge in the future.
