  2. Cyprian, bishop of Carthage, reflects on Zaccheus and notes that Christ calls him a “child of Abraham” after his resolve to give generously and restore what he wronged. The label follows the fruit. Cyprian isn’t teaching merit, but recognition: mercy made visible. The question he leaves us with is practical—what are we laborious about, and who would say it shows?

  3. The two most recent episodes of #BioUnethical with David Thorstad, Emily Largent, and @GovindPersad were very (very!) good.

  12. What is the relationship between #Sociology and #AppliedEthics?

    I open up this question in the 'Concise Encyclopedia of Applied Ethics in the Social Sciences', and pretty much my own conception of sociology.

    The difficulty of drawing a distinction between ‘normative’ and ‘scientific’ sociology is highlighted in this chapter.

    I guess this is close to #DigitalEthics but really it is just #AppliedEthics of something we tend to do digitally. It is also #DataPrivacy

  14. I wrote an article on the for . I provide two solutions to the problem and argue for where our focus should be headed.

  15. Hi, all. I'm a writer and educator, currently working as a Postdoctoral Fellow of Embedded EthiCS in the Department of Philosophy at Harvard University.

    In my day job, I’m currently writing about moral responsibility, epistemic injustice, and the ethics of computing and artificial intelligence. I'm also interested in the philosophy of education, feminist philosophy, queer theory, and scholarship of teaching and learning. I also help develop and teach ethics modules that are embedded into computer science courses at Harvard, and in the spring I’ll be teaching an ethics of computing course for Harvard College. Before this, I worked with Ethically Aligned AI, Inc. and Athabasca University to create an AI ethics micro-credential certificate; held a Banting Postdoctoral Fellowship at Dalhousie University in Halifax, NS; and studied at Waterloo, York, Toronto, Sheffield, and (briefly) The Graduate Center, CUNY.

    When I'm not on the clock, I'm pretty much always thinking about, writing, or playing tabletop roleplaying games. For that side of my life, follow @[email protected]

    An Inconsistent Triad?

    1. If someone promises to do something, they incur an obligation to do it.
    2. It’s impermissible to take on an obligation to do something impermissible.
    3. There are permissible acts which would be impermissible unless you promised to do them first.
