SpringerBriefs in Ethics

This book provides a careful and comprehensive,&nbsp;step-by-step method for providing clinical ethics consultation. This Guide can&nbsp;be applied in almost any healthcare setting and takes the reader from&nbsp;establishing an intake process&nbsp;and developing strategies for interviewing those&nbsp;involved in the situation, to undertaking a consultation meeting and following&nbsp;up on a clinical consult. The book&nbsp;is an invaluable resource to any&nbsp;clinical ethicist, or committee or consult team member who is seeking to&nbsp;provide their service with rigour and quality. Written in simple language,&nbsp;the book explores ideas and concepts that will help the reader to understand,&nbsp;think through, and ultimately offer useful ethical consultation when facing&nbsp;ethically challenging issues.

Jiwani B: Clinical Ethics Consultation:
A Practical Guide

Clinical Ethics Consultation: A Practical Guide

Background.- Introduction.- Ethics Consultation.- Section 1: Reference List.- The Process of Ethics Consultation.- Conclusion.

This book offers an extensive assessment of the nature and feasibility of the metaverse and is the first to critically examine its social and ethical implications. The metaverse is, in essence, an envisioned future merger of virtual and augmented reality (VR and AR) and the internet, enabling real-time immersive interaction and activities like work, play, socializing, and entertainment. Major tech companies like Meta, Microsoft, Apple and NVIDIA have been investing billions in metaverse technologies, with generative AI accelerating progress. This book examines how these efforts could culminate in the metaverse, exploring its potential forms, implications, and the social and ethical challenges it may pose—along with recommendations for responsible innovation. The book is aimed at stakeholders shaping the metaverse—developers, creators, investors, business leaders, and thought leaders in technologies like VR, AR, Web3, blockchain, and AI. It also serves scholars and students in applied ethics, the social sciences, and the humanities, including fields such as media studies, psychology, and law. General readers interested in the metaverse and emerging technologies will find it both accessible and engaging.&nbsp;&nbsp;Endorsements:&nbsp;"In this book, the talented and eloquent philosopher Philip Brey carefully explains the history and ideas behind the metaverse, and the prospects for its further development and adoption. That detailed information, meticulously presented, makes this a valuable read. But that is just the start. In later chapters, Brey just as skillfully describes the opportunities and vulnerabilities that a metaverse is likely to generate. These chapters are thorough, precise, and offer profound insights into our possible futures. Some of the possibilities are exciting. Others are frightening." –Keith W. Miller, University of Missouri–St. Louis.

The Metaverse: A Critical Assessment

Aimed at supporting their emancipatory project, this book explores strategies for resisting dominance and enhancing agency within the caring professions. It helps bridge the gap between theoretical and practical autonomy in these fields, which have long been overshadowed by other professional groups. The book scrutinises the often-misunderstood notion of autonomy, which is frequently equated with mere independence-an equation that can paradoxically undermine, rather than improve, care quality. Additionally, it critiques the prevailing lack of a specific philosophical framework for practice. Existing literature typically approaches professional autonomy through a liberal philosophy lens or loosely assigns moral agency to groups, leading to a view of autonomous professions as analogous to autonomous individuals. By presenting a critical overview of the main schools of thought on autonomy-emphasising group autonomy and the specific challenges faced by caring professions-this book aims to fill a significant gap. It includes case studies to ground its theoretical insights in practical examples from real-world scenarios, helping the caring professions identify both autonomy issues and opportunities for enhancing autonomous practice.

A Guidebook for the Caring Professions

Professional Autonomy

This book provides an up-to-date description of cross-cultural aspects of end-of-life decision-making. The work places this discussion in the context of developments in the United States such as the emphasis on patient informed consent, “right to die” legal cases, and the federal Patient Self-Determination Act. With the globalization of health care and increased immigration from developing to developed countries, health care professionals are experiencing unique challenges in communicating with seriously ill patients and their families about treatment options as well as counselling all patients about advance medical care planning. While many Western countries emphasize individual autonomy and patient-centered decision-making, cultures with a greater collectivist orientation have, historically, often protected patients from negative health information and emphasized family-centered decision-making. In order to place these issues in context, the history of informed consent in medicineis reviewed. Additionally, cross-cultural issues in health care decision-making are analysed from the perspective of multiple philosophical theories including deontology, utilitarianism, virtues, principlism, and communitarian ethics.&nbsp; This book is a valuable addition to courses on end-of-life care, death and dying, cross-cultural health, medical anthropology, and medical ethics and an indispensable guide for healthcare workers dealing with patients coming from various cultural backgrounds.

Cross Cultural Issues at the End of Life

Ethical Challenges in Multi-Cultural Patient Care

This book addresses the morality of engaging in weapons research, a topic that has been neglected but which is extremely important. It is argued that this activity is both morally wrong and morally unjustifiable, and this implies that moral persons should not engage in it. The argument is not based on any pacifist assumptions: it is not assumed that neither individuals nor states should not defend themselves. What is wrong with weapons research is that it is the first step in the production of weapons, weapons are the means to harm, and harming without justification is always wrong. Those who study science, for instance those who are interested in the responsibilities of the scientist, are given a new perspective, while those who are practicing scientists will realize that they should not consider working to design new or improved weapons systems. This book is of interest to students and&nbsp; researchers working in&nbsp; ethics and technology, philosophy of technology, military ethics, and history of technology.

Why it is Wrong to Design Weapons

The Morality of Weapons Research

This book offers a much needed overview of the neglected notion of responsibility.&nbsp; Instead of offering vague talk about&nbsp;“individual responsibility”&nbsp;or&nbsp;“corporate responsibility,”&nbsp;Daryl Koehn examines in detail four accounts of responsibility, taking care to specify what responsibility does and does not mean in each account.&nbsp; She argues for a return to the ancient concept of Socratic dialogical responsibility, a concept that avoids many of the problems inherent in the other accounts.&nbsp;&nbsp;

After examining the Anglo-American criminal legal system’s treatment of responsibility as intentional agency, she critiques Hans Jonas’s concept of responsibility as ontological care and Hannah Arendt’s notion of communicative responsibility.&nbsp; She provides a careful analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of each approach to responsibility.&nbsp; The final chapter makes the case for Socratic dialogical responsibility.&nbsp; Dialogical responsibility has many strengths in its own right and avoids the major pitfalls of the other notions of responsibility examined in the book.&nbsp; It serves as an eminently practical way to hold ourselves responsible for our actions and speech.&nbsp;&nbsp; In addition, dialogical responsibility alone qualifies as a virtue integral to the good life.&nbsp;

Toward a New (Old) Theory of Responsibility: Moving beyond Accountability

This book deals with the problem of dual-use science research and technology. It first explains the concept of dual use and then offers analyses of collective knowledge and collective ignorance. It goes on to present a theory of collective responsibility, followed by four chapters focusing on a particular scientific field or industry of dual use concern: the chemical industry, the nuclear industry, cyber-technology and the biological sciences.The problem of dual-use science research and technology arises because such research and technology has the potential to be used for great evil as well as for great good. On the one hand, knowledge is a necessary condition, and perhaps a constitutive feature, of technologies that contribute greatly to individual and collective well-being. Consider, for example, nuclear technology that enables the generation of low cost electricity in populations without obvious alternative energy sources. So technological knowledge is a good thing and ignorance of it a bad thing. On the other hand, these same technologies can be extremely harmful to individuals and collectives, as with the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. So, at least with respect to some technologies evidently knowledge is a bad thing and ignorance a good thing. Accordingly, the question arises as to whether we ought to limit scientific research and/or the development of technology and, if so, which research or technology, in what manner and to what extent. This book examines the answer to that question.

Dual Use Science and Technology, Ethics and Weapons of Mass Destruction

This workbook is a companion to&nbsp;Clinical&nbsp;Ethics Consultation: A Practical Guide to Changing Culture, Building Capacity&nbsp;and Solving Problems Case by Case. The Toolkit lays out the process for&nbsp;clinical ethics consultation in a series of steps within five phases:&nbsp;Pre-Consult, Interviews, Mid-Consult, Consult meeting(s), and Post-Consult. For&nbsp;each step, the Toolkit provides directions for how to complete it, tips for&nbsp;success, and worksheets for capturing data and analysis. The Clinical Ethics&nbsp;Consultation Toolkit&nbsp;is the playbook from which clinical ethics&nbsp;consultants can draw methods and strategies for effectively delivering ethics&nbsp;consultation.

Clinical Ethics Consultation Toolkit

This book is an easy to read, yet comprehensive introduction to practical issues in research ethics and scientific integrity. It addresses questions about what constitutes appropriate academic and scientific behaviors from the point of view of what Robert Merton called the “ethos of science.” In other words, without getting into tricky questions about the nature of the good or right (as philosophers often do), Koepsell’s concise book provides an approach to behaving according to the norms of science and academia without delving into the morass of philosophical ethics.&nbsp; The central thesis is that: since we know certain behaviors are necessary for science and its institutions to work properly (rather than pathologically), we can extend those principles to guide good behaviors as scientists and academics. The Spanish version of this book was commissioned by the Mexican National Science Foundation (CONACyT) and is being distributed to and used by Mexican scientists in a unique, national plan to improve scientific integrity throughout all of Mexico. Available now in English, the examples and strategies employed can be used throughout the English speaking research world for discussing issues in research ethics, training for scientists and researchers across disciplines, and those who are generally interested in ethics in academia.

An Approach from the Ethos of Science

Scientific Integrity and Research Ethics

This book presents an academic introduction, presentation and argument of stakeholder theory as&nbsp;as a model for strategic management&nbsp;of business firms and corporations and public organizations and institutions.&nbsp;The concept of stakeholder is generally used for the parties that affect or are affected by the activities of private or public organizations. Stakeholders are those interested parties who, other than shareholders, have a connection with the activities of a corporation, a firm or an organization. The reference to the stakeholders refers to a conception of a business firm as founded on negotiated governance, where the maximization of the value for the shareholder is not the ultimate criterion. In this model the stakes and the interests that are not those of shareholders or investors, and which go beyond capital and include civil society, are important.&nbsp;This book presents this theory and makes it known as an ethical model for strategic management that is bothconcrete and useful for developing democracy in the firm, and making it possible to present elements of a social contract in the context of global capitalism.

This book provides an academic introduction to, and presentation and defence of stakeholder theory as a model for the strategic management of businesses and corporations, as well as of public organizations and institutions. The concept of the stakeholder is generally applied to parties that affect or are affected by the activities of private or public organizations. Distinct from shareholders, stakeholders are those individuals, entities or communities that have a connection with the activities of a corporation, a firm or an organization. The notion of the stakeholder is intimately linked to a conception of the business firm as an entity founded on negotiated governance, in which the maximization of value for the shareholder is not the ultimate criterion. In this model, issues and interests that are not directly associated with shareholders and investors, but which go beyond capital to encompass the concerns of civil society, are considered to be of central importance. This book provides a broad overview of stakeholder theory, presenting it as an ethical approach to strategic management that is both pragmatic and applicable to developing democratic practices within corporations, while at the same time suggesting ways in which elements of a social contract can be elaborated within the context of globalization.

A Model for Strategic Management

Stakeholder Theory

The first ethics casebook that integrates clinical ethics (medical, nursing, and dental) and research ethics with public health and informatics.&nbsp; The book opens with five chapters on ethics, the development of interprofessional ethics, and brief instructional materials for students on how to analyze ethical cases and for teachers on how to teach ethics.&nbsp; In today’s rapidly evolving healthcare system, the cases in this book are far more realistic than previous efforts that isolate the decision-making process by professions as if each is not embedded in a larger context that involves healthcare teams, hospital policies, and technology. The central claim of this book is that ethics is an important common ground for all of the health professions.&nbsp; Furthermore, when we recognize that our professions converge upon a common goal we will find less conflict and more pleasure in working together.

Learn to plan, conduct, or update a systematic review of qualitative evidence Qualitative Evidence Syntheses (QESs) are an increasingly important type of systematic review and a valuable tool for global and local decision-making. Their value as a method for systematically bringing together, assessing and synthesizing qualitative research has made them a crucial part of the industry-standard Cochrane and Campbell Reviews. There is an urgent and as-of-yet unmet need for a QES handbook which equips Cochrane and Campbell review authors with the most appropriate tools, processes, and methods required to conduct robust and trusted QESs. The Cochrane-Campbell Handbook for Qualitative Evidence Synthesis meets this need with a comprehensive, step-by-step guide to conducting Cochrane and Campbell-standard QES. Informed by the knowledge and experience of the Cochrane Qualitative and Implementation Methods Group (QIMG) and members of the Campbell Methods Group, the Cochrane-Campbell Handbook arms review authors with everything they need to conduct qualitative evidence syntheses. The Handbook includes new guidance and evidence-informed tools that make a critical contribution to the ever more important field of evidence synthesis. Cochrane-Campbell Handbook for Qualitative Evidence Synthesis readers will also find: Peer-reviewed chapters covering key review processes and methods written by a group of highly experienced qualitative and mixed methods researchers and review authorsDetailed discussion of additional topics including integrating the findings of a QES with an intervention effects review, public and professional involvement in QESs, equity, diversity and inclusion, reflexivity, how to peer review and report a QESValuable information and guidance to complement to Cochrane's robust training program (https://training.cochrane.org)The Cochrane-Campbell Handbook for Qualitative Evidence Synthesis is ideal for researchers and reviewers, including trainers, Cochrane and Campbell editors, guideline groups, including WHO and NICE, and all those who wish to understand, critique or use systematic reviews which include qualitative evidence.
