          Abstract

          Abstract: This study seeks to support an interdisciplinary, theory-practice integrated work on the applied ethics of information and communication technologies (ICT). Current work on applied ICT ethics is of a disciplinary nature and seeks to apply traditional philosophical norms to novel situations that are not easily identified by analogy to previous cases. I propose an alternative view in which ICTs are seen as a moral environment and ethical agents are seen as human-computer hybrids (cyborgs) whose experiences acquire ethical value ecologically. To implement such a view, I propose employing two different kinds of semiotics: a semiotics of meaning-making that is open to the environmental effects of cyborg acts across scales, and a material semiotics that allows for interdisciplinary practitioners to recognize the modes of existence involved in the ethical issues and work out better means-ends relationships among the modes pertinent to each discipline.

          Resumo: Esta pesquisa busca apoiar um trabalho interdisciplinar que integre teoria e prática acerca de uma ética aplicada das tecnologias digitais da informação e comunicação. O trabalho atual em ética aplicada das TIC é de natureza disciplinar e busca aplicar normas filosóficas tradicionais às novas situações as quais não são facilmente identificadas por analogia a casos anteriores. Eu proponho uma visão alternativa pela qual as TIC são vistas como um ambiente ético e os agentes éticos são vistos como híbridos humano-computador (ciborgues) cujas experiências adquirem valor ético ecologicamente. Para implementar esta visão, proponho que se empregue dois tipos distintos de semiótica: uma semiótica da significação que esteja aberta aos efeitos ambientais das atividades dos ciborgues em diferentes escalas, e uma semiótica material que permita aos praticantes de diferentes disciplinas reconhecerem os modos de existência envolvidos nas questões éticas e buscarem melhores relações do tipo meio-fim entre os modos implicados por cada disciplina.
