Abstract:
We begin this paper by putting forward the topic of human conscience as a metaphysical experience. We present our ongoing research on moral reasoning categories and make first attempts to verify their usefulness in creating an agent with a dynamic algorithm for moral reasoning. Our approach assumes creating such an agent basing on two factors, the idea of wisdom of web-crowd and emotion-buttressed reasoning. We present a novel approach to the idea of ethics. Instead of the usual non-cognitive one we propose a model with computational structure and discuss applicability of this approach. Finally, we present some of the first results of a preliminary experiment performed to prove our approach.
