Overview
- Combines ethical theory, applied ethics, and social science survey results, to create a useful moral code for decision making
- Creates an axiology that incorporates the best ideas from how people actually think about ethics
- Applies both the code and axiology to real world situations to find defensible solutions to problems
- Eliminates many of the wrong views of technology debates after examining each in much greater detail than is currently available
