Collections of Articles

1. Ethical Issues in the Use of Computers. Deborah G. Johnson and John W. Snapper, (eds.) Wadsworth Publishing Company, 1985. [out of print]

This anthology includes 33 articles that cover a wide range of ethical issues involving computers. The book tries to provide the following organization for each topic discussed: an editor’s overview, material on ethical theory, and an application of that theory in a specific case. When this organization is followed closely, the presentation is particularly useful for the case study approach described above.

2. Computers and Ethics. Terrell Ward Bynum, (ed.) Basil Blackwell Publisher, Ltd., Oxford. 1985.

This booklet is a reprint of the October 1985 issue of Metaphilosophy (Volume 16, No. 4), a special issue dedicated to computer ethics. The booklet includes an introduction, two book reviews, eight articles, and a bibliography. Two of the articles focus on “the philosopher as teacher,” one of which proposes a course on computer ethics. For professors seeking to do research in computer ethics, the bibliography is particularly useful.
