Introducing EthicsFinder

Australian Catholic University launches EthicsFinder, an expertly curated search engine database.

EthicsFinder is an easily usable, expertly curated ethics search engine database hosted by Australian Catholic University and supported by a global network of over 80 philosophers and specialists from more than 50 universities and institutions. It is led by Patrick Langrell and is sponsored by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Ethics, Prof. Hayden Ramsay.

Gathering and displaying thousands of links to existing high-quality articles, books and videos from across the web, it is a comprehensive and continually updated ‘one-stop shop’ for anyone interested in a broad range of ethical, philosophical, cultural and social issues and, in particular, Catholic approaches.

EthicsFinder uses sophisticated search capabilities and simple functionality to provide a user-friendly, rigorously curated search-engine database connecting users with extensive resources on ethics, life, love, politics, philosophy, and culture. EthicsFinder displays results that can be sorted further for either introductory/general levels or more scholarly/specialist audiences.

[...] Supported by a global network of over 80 philosophers and specialists from more than 50 universities and institutions.

EthicsFinder also collates and continually updates Catholic teaching across every topic, offering users a unique and accessible way to navigate Church teaching. For topics where the Catholic and/or classical ethical approach has received widespread, sustained, or recent critique, search results can also be filtered to display reputable, widely referenced, reason-based critiques.

All curated resources have gone through a rigorous peer review process involving a global network of over 80 philosophers and specialists from more than 50 universities and institutions. This makes EthicsFinder one of the most diverse, collaborative, and innovative digital educational projects in the Catholic global landscape.
