Abstract

Freedom of speech and speech responsibility are the two main concepts of communication ethics. The former addresses people’s freedom to say what they want or to remain silent, while the latter concerns the responsibilities people may have for speaking up and for the consequences of saying something or remaining silent. The traditions of consequentialist ethics and duty ethics provide conflicting normative advice about how to cope with communication dilemmas, where the alternatives can be to prioritise outcomes (the good) or conduct (the right). This chapter uses examples of decisions regarding transparency or secrecy about confidential information and i-deals at work to illustrate ethical challenges and dilemmas regarding communication.
