Hinman L: Contemporary Moral Issues

Contemporary Moral Issues

Diversity and Consensus

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.

Lex Amicitia: An Anthropology of the Law of Amity

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

December, Vol. 10.3

Angelaki

The ideal starting place for anyone studying this fascinating and rapidly growing topic, whether in epistemology, political philosophy or applied ethics. It will also be of interest to students and researchers in related fields, such as political science, law and public policy.

Political Epistemology

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.

Kantstudien-Ergänzungshefte

Kants akademische Vorlesungen dokumentieren seine kontinuierliche Auseinandersetzung mit Baumgarten hinsichtlich der Bestimmung der Grundstrukturen des Handelns sowie der Bedeutung der Freiheit, die sich in Entscheidungsprozessen äußert. Durch den systematischen Vergleich des Vorlesungsmaterials mit der Entwicklung des Kantischen Denkens in den publizierten Schriften wirft diese Arbeit neues Licht auf die historischen Wurzeln und auf die theoretischen Ziele von Kants ethischem Projekt.

A Global Introduction

Existentialism

Written in an engaging style for undergraduate students and general readers, Environmental Justice as Environmental Ethics: An Introduction is a new kind of primer to the study of moral problems and the natural world. It takes as its starting point the increasing awareness among researchers, activists, and others that the key ethical issues related to the use of the environment are questions of justice. It then provides a framework for systematically understanding environmental justice, exploring sustainable development, consumption, the distribution of natural resources, environmental racism, ecofeminism, and the anti-toxic movement, among other issues. The book reaches beyond the usual concerns of moral theory to engage with environmental issues where most readers find them on the ground. The result is a new kind of introduction to environmental ethics¿foregrounding the importance of environmental justice and engaging students by illuminating those topics they find the most compelling, important, and relevant to their daily lives. Included in the text are teaching tools, like short descriptions of longer arguments discussed elsewhere, tips for detecting problematic reasoning, questions at the end of each chapter, and a bibliography of prominent and useful literature. A Companion Website provides links to key documents, important interviews, and videos that illuminate key parts of the book
