| Tiivistelmä: | For those working with social science presumptions, ethical principles can seem to come out of nowhere. This paper wonders whether they operate like the positive externalities Gallon wishes to derive from economists. In exploring the question, it is forced to consider different models of internal and external positioning. It does this through taking up two manifestations of the technological economy concerned with information management, following examples drawn from Gallon's own work (competitive patenting and ethical deliberations on biotechnology). The paper provides a substantial list of references on this subject. |
