Ethics In Academic Debate: A Gaming Perspective (original) (raw)

This work explores the intersection of ethics and academic debate through the lens of gaming theory. It seeks to establish a framework for ethical conduct in academic debate by delineating ethical obligations of participants, reviewing current allegations of unethical practices, and proposing that a gaming paradigm can enhance understanding of the ethical dynamics at play. The paper highlights the importance of situational factors in ethical assessments, advocating for a limited set of broadly applicable ethical standards derived from established communication ethics.
