ABSTRACT
In this chapter we examine the relationship between disgust and taboos. We consider whether feeling disgust, in the context of cyberspace and STAs, should be used as a measure of moral wisdom, such that what is found to be ‘disgusting’ or to elicit a disgust response is correctly deemed to be bad or wrong, or whether the association between disgust and wrongness is in fact evidence of moral fallibility and hence symptomatic of a system of morality that has been imported from one space into another with a completely different (potentially incompatible) set of contingency relations.
