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;

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.

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.

A Succinct Introduction to Ethics for the Health Professions

A Casebook in Interprofessional Ethics

The book tracks the rise of Business Ethics as a discipline in the United States through a review of the basic understandings of the role of business practices in the operations of society, beginning with Aristotle and proceeding to a review of the formative concepts and cases in the history of American business.

Is Europe a global actor? It all depends on which 'Europe', one means. There is no such thing as a European foreign, security or defence policy, in the sense of a coordinated ensemble of national, EU and NATO initiatives, only European foreign, security and defence policies, pursued by different actors, sometimes in coordination, sometimes alongside each other, sometimes in competition. National sovereignty prevails. Decisions are taken in the capitals and acting through the EU or NATO are just two options in addition to, and no more important than, the national option. The Ashgate Research Companion to the Foreign Policies of Europe starts its analysis then from the national level. Expert contributors consider the interests, policies and impact of the European states across regions, key issues and relationships and consider whether decisions made out of national interest can continue to meet the security, defence, economic and environmental challenges of Europe in the 21st century.

Nishidian Philosophy and The Body

Die Philosophie der Antike reicht von ihren Ursprüngen in der Vorsokratik des frühen 6. Jh. v. Chr. bis zur Schließung der letzten verbliebenen paganen Philosophenschule, der Platonischen Akademie in Athen, durch Kaiser Justinian im Jahr 529 n. Chr. Das vorliegende Lehrbuch gibt eine anschauliche Einführung in die wichtigsten Grundbegriffe, Positionen und Argumente dieser Epoche. Vorgestellt werden zudem prominente Meinungen und Kontroversen aus der Forschung. Ziel ist es, der Leserin grundlegendes Wissen zu vermitteln, das sie dazu befähigt, künftig Fachbeiträge zur antiken Philosophie eigenständig zu verstehen.

Einführung in die antike Philosophie

Suhrkamp Studienbibliothek

Im Juni 2012 feiern wir nicht nur den 300. Geburtstag von Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778), des neben Kant und Locke vielleicht wichtigsten Philosophen der Neuzeit. Es jährt sich auch das Erscheinen des politischen Hauptwerkes Rousseaus: »Vom Gesellschaftsvertrag oder Prinzipien des Staatsrechts« (»Du Contrat Social ou Principes du Droit Politique«), das 1762 in Amsterdam erschien und sogleich verboten wurde. Der »Gesellschaftsvertrag« gehört zu den wirkmächtigsten Texten der Aufklärung und wird vielfach als Gründungstext moderner Demokratietheorien und Wegbereiter der Französischen Revolution gesehen. Seine berühmten Grundideen sind: Die menschliche Gemeinschaft beruht auf einem Vertrag, dessen Voraussetzung der sogenannte Gemeinwille ist (»volonté générale«). Dieser ist mehr als die Summe der Einzelinteressen, sondern zielt auf das Wohl aller und ist unfehlbar. Durch den Vertrag werden die Bürger als Adressaten der Gesetze zugleich deren Autoren. Das ist die Geburtsstunde der Volkssouveränität! Der Band bringt Rousseaus Text in durchgesehener Übersetzung. Der Kommentar von Robin Celikates erschließt den Text historisch und systematisch und beleuchtet die enorme Wirkungsgeschichte, die seit Erscheinen des Textes vor 250 Jahren bis in die Gegenwart ungebrochen ist.

oder Prinzipien des Staatsrechts

Vom Gesellschaftsvertrag

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.

Constructing Political Communities

Memory and Memorialization of War

By analyzing the key theories of political behavior in the context of Latin America, Orlando Pérez illustrates the impact, nature, and limits of democratization. This book is the first comprehensive attempt to analyze empirically the factors that determine citizen participation in the region using theoretically grounded and empirically sound longitudinal data.
