Ward, Andrew (2010): Virtual Communities. In: Techné: Research in Philosophy and Technology 14 (3), S. 237-251. DOI: 10.5840/techne201014324

Abstract: The Internet, as it exists today, is an outgrowth of the late 1960’s Advanced Research Projects Agency Network. During the 1980’s, the National Science Foundation established a high-speed, high-capacity network called NSFnet connecting many universities and government agencies. Finally, with the creation of the World Wide Web and the development and diffusion of inexpensive, reliable and easy to use public Internet access, electronic information technologies connect an increasingly large portion of the population.

This paper focuses on two of those questions. First, what does the increasing use of and reliance on electronically mediated communications portend for our understanding of human communities, and second, what sorts of socio-political concepts and relationships best characterize the new “virtual community”?

Abstract: Part I of this essay opened with some methodological remarks about ethics and the idea of community. It then critically examined contemporary discussions of community that tie it to political objectives, generally treating it as an instrumental good. In their stead, a grass-roots approach is proposed focusing on groups where there are multiple mutual supporting moral relationships between individuals, and equality is a leading feature.
