In this thesis, the author will examine how modern philosophical expression manifests in the field of ethics based on Kant's Ethics. The author will critically assess whether Kant's Ethics is an appropriate rational theoretical alternative to overcome today's ecological crisis. In the first section, the author lists the characteristics of modernity. The purpose of this section is to show why Kant's Ethics must be understood in the context of modern age and how his ethics expresses the ideology of the modernity(I). In the second section, the author will analyze the challenge Kant's Ethics face in relation to ecological crisis from the context of dualism between person and thing(II). In the last section, the author will inspect the flaw of Kant's Ethics based on his positive position regarding vicarious duties toward animals, and pose the basic direction of the theory of ecological publicness that can overcome the limits of Kant's Ethics in the context of a critical reconstruction of neo-confucian tradition(III).

The main purpose of this paper is to make a case for the availability of pragmatist ethics by showing the differences between utilitarianism and pragmatism. In this paper, drawing on Dewey's view, I show that Bentham and Mill were doomed to failure because they both regarded moral conduct not as a process but as a fixed act, the remarkable differences between their views notwithstanding. Besides, I also show that pragmatism distinguishes itself from utilitarianism by its focus on the aspect of the amendment of a conduct rather than its attainment. Pragmatist ethics works on the assumption that moral conduct arises only in conscious experience. What pragmatists mean by consciousness is not an ability just given to haman, but a function emerging from the human interaction with his environment. Therefore, morality is extended from and restricted by experience, because it is grounded in concrete experience, but not in the transcendental nor a priori realm. Since pragmatism suggests the possibility of "ethics without principles" in that it works through the way which successfully rejects the traditional absolutist ethics, while avoiding the downslide to a nihilistic form of skepticism. Thus, it may serve as a third view that overcomes a seriously divergent situation of the current ethical arguments. In other words, starting from the very nature of experience, pragmatist ethics offers a 'bottom-up' ethics, instead of a 'top-down' one. This reconstructive reading of pragmatism away from utilitarianism is expected to offer a more comprehensive account of our moral experience in the pluralistic world of diverged values.

The purpose of this paper is to explore the meaning of theoretical ethics regarding bioethics. First, I explore the meanings and limitations of the bioethics domain for 'the principle of equal consideration of interests' and the 'preference utilitarianism' concepts Singer presents. Secondly, I emphasize the significance of Kant's ethics in the domain of bioethics. Lastly, I suggest that Aristotle's virtue ethics should be realized in the domain of bioethics. Furthermore, I would like to suggest the meaning of human life through this. Singer's argument brings up a new topic about the meaning of evolved life not considered in the history of traditional ethics. He presented undeniable opinions about human dignity that he took for granted. In addition, it is assessed that the scope extension for the life respect target has been reasonably achieved. Contrary to this, Kant's ethics explains the meaning of human dignity based on its metaphysical meaning. Furthermore, it provides an appropriate orientation for human life. Embracing their claims is not sufficient to explain the meaning of Good Life. The meaning of Good Life is likely to be resolved through the application of Aristotle's virtue ethics. The meaning of a being of substance is living and furthermore, it is inherent to being itself.

Many kinds of teaching methods have been used to instruct ethical issues that arise in the field of science and technology. However, few teaching methods of bioethics have been validated by ethical theories, or justified based on practical utility in bioethics teaching. The aim of this article is to suggest teaching methods of bioethics that are appropriate for ethical theories and socio-scientific issues related to biological sciences in secondary schools. In the article, the teaching methods are classified into three types of ethical theories and into three types of socio-scientific issues in biological sciences. The characteristics of nine teaching/learning methods are then described in terms of appropriate bioethical issues or contexts, and ethical theories or principles.

This paper considers the relationship between ethics and archives by asking the question "who is the archivist?". Aside from this, the researcher also emphasized the following theses. First, archival science should search for ethics as a discourse and not just the Code of Ethics. Second, an archivist should state his/her view in their archives field. Third, archival science should search for both personal and practical knowledge. Aside from these, this article argues also that an epistemological approach is necessary for ethics.

시대의 흐름에 따라 온라인 게임 중독 증상을 보이는 초등학생의 수가 증가하고 있다. 또한 온라인 게임 과몰입 청소년은 학교 및 일상생활에 많은 문제를 보이고 있으므로, 적절한 검사를 통해 가려내어 교육 및 치료를 꼭 해야 할 것이다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 본 논문에서는 정보 윤리학을 기반으로 온라인 게임 중독 초등학생을 유형별로 가려내기 위해, 보다 개선된 척도의 개발과 적용을 다루고 있다. 본 모형의 장점은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 기존 척도에 비해 검사 문항별 관련 도덕 항목을 구체적으로 제시하여 검사 후 교육에 도움을 줄 수 있다. 둘째, 기존 척도에 비해 항목을 보다 구체적으로 제시하여 정확한 검사가 이루어질 수 있도록 하였다. 개선된 검사도구로 실제로 측정해 본 결과, 서울 S초등학교 5학년 학생 중 고위험 사용자는 12%이며, 대부분의 학생들이 일반 또는 저위험 사용자에 속하는 결과를 알 수 있다.

컴퓨터는 우리가 살고 이는 사회를 바꾸고 있다. 컴퓨터의 이용으로 편리해져가는 이른바 정보화 시대 속에서 필연적으로 컴퓨터로 인한 파괴적인 또는 반사회적인 행동이 나타나고 있다. 이런 컴퓨터의 사용은 우리에게 윤리적 토대에서 정확하고 올바른 판단과 의사결정을 요구하게 되었다. 컴퓨터 바이러스 유포, 공공기관과 사설망의 컴퓨터 네트웍에 침입하여 정보파괴, 프로젝트 진행 중 취득하는 정보의 악용하기도 한다. 또 익명성이란 특징의 인터넷 안에서 망가지고 있는 컴퓨터 사용자들의 윤리의식이 사회적인 문제화 되고있다. 이러한 변화는 새로운 컴퓨터 윤리학이라는 분야를 연구를 하는 계기가 되었고 70년대의 태동기를 거쳐서 현재는 적지 않은 연구가 결과가 나오고 있는 실정이다. 하나의 학문분야로서 컴퓨터 윤리학은 컴퓨터의 보급과 결과를 또 컴퓨터 기술의 본질과 영향력을 분석하고 컴퓨터 사용을 위한 정책을 제시하고 있다. 컴퓨터의 사용에 대한 기술적 내용은 대부분 학교 교육을 통해 전달되고 있다 하지만 테크니컬한 컴퓨터 교육의 증가에 따른 국내의 중, 고등교육기관과 대학에서의 컴퓨터 윤리 교육에 대한 관심은 부족한 상태이다. 이에 본 연구는 컴퓨터 윤리과목이 개설되어 있는 교육기관을 파악하여 현재 우리나라의 컴퓨터 윤리 교육에 대한 문제점과 해결 방안을 제시하고자 한다.
