Abstract

El artículo cuestiona la efectividad del modelo de razonamiento ético de la Potter box en cuanto a su aplicación a dilemas de ética de la información. No obstante su importancia para fomentar el debate racional sobre ética aplicada, este modelo, como probablemente todos los modelos de razonamiento ético, es incapaz de determinar la teoría moral que mejor podría justificar el curso de acción justo en los casos más dilemáticos. A partir de varios ejemplos presentados en Media ethics: Cases and moral reasoning (Christians et al., 2005), mostraremos que las decisiones morales, en última instancia, radican en lo que Paul Ricoeur llama "convicción". Ninguna solución para dilemas éticos puede ser encontrada a priori. Ese es el drama de la acción.
