ABSTRACT
I believe that the study of communication and of systems regulated by advanced forms of communication has set rolling a revolution in scientific thinking. It is a revolution immensely welcome and overdue. It is evidenced by the fact that it is possible to hold a scientific discussion on ethical judgment without the handicap of an unbridged gulf between scientific and humanist concepts. We can define ethical judgment, and indeed all other forms of judgment in a way which is neither too vague for scientists to stomach nor too puerile for responsible agents to respect. But some of the implications of the enquiry are healthily disturbing.
