| Abstrakt: | Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have penetrated during the last 20 years all human activities everywhere on the Earth. Humanity has entered into the information age, virtual reality and even virtual worlds have been crated. The basic ethical questions stay as they have always been: How are we to live? What are we to be? Basic answers are, of course, that we ought to live good lives and be good persons. The aim of this article is: • To specify what “living a good life” and “being a good person” could be in the information age; • To identify some challenges and opportunities ICTs offer in this context. |
