Abstract:
We begin this paper with revisiting the differences between descriptive and normative approach to ethics and challenge the usefulness of the latter for the field of machine ethics. We continue this reasoning and present our insights on previous trends in this field and highlight the need for a change in the approach. We highlight the need for an experimental approach to machine ethics by introducing a moral reasoning system based on Aristotelian identification of civic rhetoric with a common-sense base. And present it as a step forward in the machine ethics research bypassing theoretical disputes between philosophers. We finish this paper with the introduction to the CAMILLA project for web-crawling algorithm as the first step towards creating an Aristotelian explicit moral agent.
