As is well-known in philosophy, certain feminist critics of science and technology, for example, Keller [27] and Harding [28], have argued that the scientihc community has maintained the status quo in its exclusion of women and women s concerns. To the extent that a person believes that the scientihc community has or has not excluded women, and to the extent that a person believes exclusion is unjust, that person may address the question of computer use favoring the status quo and excluding women. Although there are good reasons to think that the scientihc community has not been the disaster that certain feminists think it is [29], any researcher should be well aware of the possibility of exclusion not only for the effect on scientihc validity but also for the moral questions exclusion raises.

Such, for instance, are the facts which demonstrate the agreement and consistency that subsist between the Mosaic account of the creation, and the observations of accurate philosophy. Such are those coincidences which illustrate the analogy between the moral and spiritual designs of revelation, and the constitution and appointments of nature in the visible world. ...

The propositions which describe the phenomena of moral experience, and their causes, must be assigned to the science of psychology, or sociology. The exhortations to moral virtue are not propositions at all, but ejaculations or commands which are designed to provoke the reader to action of a certain sort. Accordingly, they do not belong to any branch of philosophy or science. 

Moral theory, like much of philosophy, is a competition of ideas pursued to their logical ends. The way to make a name in philosophy is to concoct a plausible theory and pursue its logical consequences wherever they lead. It is much rarer to see philosophers integrate disparate theories into a consistent whole. 

Although many social policies and much legislation is founded on this greatest good philosophy, there are several problems with utilitarianism as a basis for morality. 

Chemistry, like any discipline, has a social structure. It relies on the interactions, behaviors, and expectations of individuals in order to function. Every social structure has a code of practices that constitutes its behavioral norms, that is, a set of rules governing what are acceptable and unacceptable behaviors. These rules are the moral philosophy of that social structure. When people find themselves in a situation in which there is a conflict or dilemma, the decision-making processes that they use to make the behavioral choices that follow are called ethical decision-making skills. Ethics, then, is the process whereby an individual, faced with a moral dilemma, arrives at a morally defensible decision. 

Moral treatment grew out of the converging Enlightenment trends, rational philosophy, and Christian charity. In keeping with this combination, Tuke the Quaker (1996) concluded his work with a quote from Montesquieu about the need for even the most virtuous to be restrained in their power because experience continually demonstrates, that men who possess power, are prone to abuse it they are apt to go to the utmost limits (p. 187). 

Ethics (Breggin, 1971). Before the 20th century, psychology and moral philosophy were one and the same, but this natural alliance is denied in modern schools of psychology and philosophy. And the field of psychiatry has divorced itself from both psychology and philosophy in its effort to claim medical and biological legitimacy.
