It sketches the associated doctrine of &quot;object/end&quot; of capacity and its relation to well-being. It outlines four steps of increasing specification: identify the type of act or feeling in the context; decide if it is abstractly prima facie good or bad in relation to well-being; identify the circumstances and see if there is a relevant principle or pre-existing rule; canvass the motive and intent of this agent, here and now, in acting or feeling. The method is applied to three examples in the computer ethics area.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3-4</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Journal Article</style></work-type><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cover Date: FALL/Winter 1999.Source Info: 7(3-4), 137-154.
