Statement |
| 2 | Keith Pheby | Given the advanced liberal view on the 'sanctity' of the individual (supported by the dominant ethical systems of the West) the notion of 'privacy' emerges as a central concern in the context of the proliferation of ICTs. However, perhaps it is time to fashion a new ethical vocabulary. The decentered institutions of the 21st century and the decentered communities that might support them have the potential (however remote this may seem at present) for increasing an awareness of the importance of mutuality and co-dependancy: the basis of this conception of ethical life. ICTs could help facilitate this process. |
