"Short, reader-friendly overview of the contenious moral issue of animal rights"--

Rowlands Mark: Animal Rights

Animal Rights

In some cases in the US, offenders have been made to take anti-psychotic drugs in order to restore competence to stand trial, or even to receive punishment. If such neurointerventions can change a person's behaviour can they be used to treat and more controversially, predict and prevent crime? Once a fantasy portrayed in films such as Minority Report such questions are fast-becoming fundamental ones for policy, law and ethics. This is the first book to introduce and explain the fundamental concepts, problems and debates around neuroscience, ethics and crime. After a helpful introduction the authors examine the following topics:<ul> <li>Criminal justice, harm and the problem of punishment: why punish? </li> <li>Cognitive and behavioural neuroscience: a short introduction</li> <li>Reading minds: can brain scans replace lie detector tests and predict reoffending?</li> <li>Neuroscientific assessments of competency </li> <li>Compulsory neurointerventions: can changing the brain be used to increase empathy and reduce violent urges?</li> <li>Voluntary neurointervention: is it wrong to administer neurointerventions even if the offender agrees to receive the neurointervention?</li> <li>Neuroscience, free will and moral responsibility</li> <li>Broader issues in criminal justice, including the justification of criminal punishment and the role of moral intuitions in decision-making.</li> </ul>Additional features, such as chapter summaries, annotated further reading and a glossary make this an excellent resource for students of philosophy and those in related disciplines such as philosophy, criminology, law and criminal justice.

An Introduction

Neuroscience, Ethics, and Criminal Punishment

Lex Amicitia draws a long history of the law of friendship ¿ from Aristotle to Derrida ¿ into a contemporary context: scouring the backrooms, bars and ill-lit alcoves, the corridors and side-rooms where the interior engine of institutional decisions operates. The intimate public sphere is fueled by the affects of amity and enmity, identification and rejection, experience and projection in negotiating and deciding the fate of workaday lives. Using the example of law, and specifically of the legal academy in the Anglophone world, this book pieces together the hidden ties and the secret bondings, the erotics and the hostilities that play beneath the surface of public lives. Patiently reconstructing the apparitions of affect and amity as they are glimpsed in marginal moments and off-hours, peripheries and slips, emails and other unintended viscera, the structural role of the laws of friendship, the legal form of compact, concord and contract is reconstructed and expounded.

The book surveys the history and teachings of Taoism (Daoism) over the course of Chinese civilization, and explores themes and ideas that interest modern minds.  The religions of Asia continually fascinate people around the world.  During the 20th century, the Taoist (Daoist) tradition of China became well-known.  But even at the century's end, our understandings of Taoism was limited to what scholars of Asia and Western lands had revealed.  Few knew of the probing researches also being conducted by scholars of Russia, particularly Evgeny Torchinov (1956-2003).  Torchinov, Russia's leading authority on Taoism, died suddenly before completing the final English edition of his comprehensive introduction, Daosizm: Opyt Istoriko-religioznogo Opisaniia.  Here at last is that English edition and we see Taoism through fresh eyes, revealing new insights into the minds and lives of centuries of Chinese Taoists.

Restorative Justice Practice

ORIGINAL SIN opens with Kathryn Paige Harden taking LSD with her boyfriend in the West Texas desert, precipitating an experience in which he is unable to escape from the sense that he alone is responsible for an apocalyptic event, despite the fact that the event was impossible to avoid. Using this idea - of being born into sin, the eternal human paradox of free will versus destiny, sharpened to a razor edge by contemporary genetics - Harden explores some of the most important questions in philosophy: How are we to take responsibility for the individuals we become in light of what we know about behavioural genetics? We are not responsible for our genomes, but where does that leave us in respect of justice and punishment? If we possess a predisposition toward violence, does that make such behaviour any less egregious? If we can't help being attracted to certain people, in what sense can we be said to choose a mate or partner? In light of what we know about biology, how should we treat one another, and how can we use policies and social intervention to create a society in which all of us flourish? Beautifully written, deeply literate, autobiographically daring and informed by her own research on the cutting edge of behavioural genetics, this is a profoundly original work of literary non-fiction that promises to take us on a wild intellectual journey - and stay with us long after we turn the final page.

Borders and boundaries are being radically challenged by globalization. While states as legal and political entities are more or less fixed, emotional belonging to a political community has become more important. The construction of that belonging consists of several elements; memorialization and discursive practices are among the most relevant. The chapters in this book focus on different regions and different constructions and all relate to the importance of memorializing war.
