Computer
Ethics: A Case-Based Approach teaches students to solve eth¬
ical dilemmas in the field of computing, taking a philosophical, rather
than a legal, approach to the topic. It first examines the principles of Ide¬
alism, Realism, Pragmatism, Existentialism, and Philosophical Analysis,
explaining how each might be adopted as a basis for solving comput¬
ing dilemmas. The book then presents a worksheet of key questions to
be used in solving dilemmas. Twenty-nine cases, drawn from the real-
life experiences of computer professionals, are included in the book as
a means of letting students experiment with solving ethical dilemmas
and identify the philosophical underpinnings of the solutions.
Robert

Program at the University of Notre Dame and professor emeritus at
Eastern Illinois University, where he received several awards for teach¬
ing excellence. He has spent the last thirty-six years teaching and writing
