Name and logo about deon HOT 9 CLOSED

More name ideas:

1. Keep as is (at least it is descriptive)!
2. ethicai (ethic + ai) or a variant like ethai
3. deonto (or deont) - From "deontolological ethics" (greek deon)
4. arete (Greek word for moral virtue)
5. phronesis -("Phronesis involves not only the ability to decide how to achieve a certain end, but also the ability to reflect upon and determine good ends consistent with the aim of living well overall.[7]") Also possible, some adaptation like fronesis, phrones, etc.
6. Other options?

from deon.

to add to the mix:

7. do-good-data-checklist (or do-good-data-science-checklist or do-good-ds-checklist, something to that effect)
8. data-ethics-check or data-ethics-checklist

I like something descriptive like this, or something relating to 3️⃣ above

from deon.

Since this will be a command line tool, that people type there's a benefit to keeping it short

from deon.

I like Greg's 8️⃣ (or 1️⃣) - the others leave me cold, they feel either too tryhard or miss the mark (#3 where my utilitarians at?)

from deon.

In Which Casey Plays "Philosophy" For Twenty Minutes

I'm not sure that the checklist content is specific enough to imply, with sufficiently high probability over conceivable semantic spaces, either ethical "badge" of deontology or consequentialism. Further, to the extent that we want to frame the checklist as an alternative to oath-taking, it seems misguided to willfully associate our approach with ethical analyses that more often than not depend on embracing concepts like "duty" or "right" (deontology). That said, advocating a rigidly consequentialist approach––see @isms (2018)––can ultimately lead to similarly "oathy" interpretations, e.g., "I solemnly swear to pull the lever every time."

In my mind the checklist is, more than anything, to be viewed and used as a sort of "practice" wherein the particular details of any pair of disjoint use-cases could (and should be able to) lead to outcomes that may be at philosophical odds with one another. The point, as it were, is to have the deliberation in the first place. In this vein, it seems that the Heideggerian interpretation of phronesis––as difficult a pill that is to swallow––is a reasonable framework within which the checklist may be described. However, it does run the risk of sounding a bit "tryhard."

Therefore, @pjbull @glipstein @ejm714 @isms, I suggest a +1️⃣because it's short and anyone installing the package probably won't need the reminder that it's "about data". Or something like data-phrones, but that's mainly because phrones just looks and sounds funny––we'd have to be prepared to explain ourselves.

What if we call it a "nudgelist" instead of a checklist?

9. ds-ethics-checklist

I like 9️⃣ over 8️⃣ since this is tailored specifically to data science. Also good with 1️⃣

from deon.

@pjbull @ejm714 given the discussion, i'm good with something shorter. how about PHRON or PLAT (for Plato's checklist), in line with the 5️⃣ direction above?

I agree that has a good story for how it ties in with the theme of the checklist:

a type of wisdom relevant to practical action, implying both good judgement and excellence of character and habits, or practical virtue
