Luciano Floridi’s Philosophy of Information and Information Ethics: Critical Reflections and the State of the Art

Well, it is self-referential, so I'm a bit self-conscious... but here are the news:

Ethics and Information Technology, Springer, has published a special issue in two numbers dedicated to “Luciano Floridi’s Philosophy of Information and Information Ethics: Critical Reflections and the State of the Art”, edited by Charles Ess. Volume 10, Numbers 2-3, 2008.

EIT is the most important and influential "peer-reviewed journal dedicated to advancing the dialogue between moral philosophy and the field of information and communication technology". This is the first time it dedicates a special issue to a researcher’s achievements.
