Book Synopsis Ethics and Justice. Éthique et justice by : Peter Kemp
Download or read book Ethics and Justice. Éthique et justice written by Peter Kemp and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2017 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main theme of volume 6 of Eco-ethica is "Ethics and Justice" which focuses on the idea of "justice" in a metaphysical, social, and personal sense. Justice is considered as a balance between opposite ambitions in interdependent persons, and as equity in legislation, but not as blind justice. Today it is valuable not only on the national, but also on the cosmopolitan level. Before it became personal justice, the idea of justice was considered metaphysical and social, both in European and Chinese culture. However, in modern times, it is often reduced to a moral duty without meta-ethical responsibility. The last section considers the importance of the philosophy of Paul Ricoeur (1913-2005) for clarifying the idea of justice. (Series: Eco-Ethica, Vol. 6) [Subject: Philosophy, Ethics]
Book Synopsis Théorie de la justice by : John Rawls
Download or read book Théorie de la justice written by John Rawls and published by Seuil. This book was released on 1997 with total page 665 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ce livre est considéré dans le monde anglo-saxon comme le texte contemporain le plus important de la philosophie morale et politique. C'est un déli lancé à tous ceux qui pensent que la justice sociale et l'efficacité économique sont incompatibles. Théorie de la justice est un livre de portée universelle, à cause, d'une part, du dialogue qu'il instaure entre deux traditions opposées - Rousseau et Kant confrontés à l'utilitarisme de Mill et de Sidgwick - et, d'autre part, de la rigueur et de la profondeur des analyses qui y sont proposées. C'est, au meilleur sens du terme, un livre de philosophie engagé, donnant aux préoccupations morales et politiques de cette fin du XXe siècle - de la justice sociale à l'écologie, de la politique de l'éducation à la théorie de l'obéissance civile - une armature intellectuelle et une clarté déductive qui leur manquaient. Dans ce livre, souvent difficile mais exaltant, John Rawls a formulé ce qu'on pourrait appeler une charte de la social-démocratie moderne, avec ses forces et ses faiblesses.

Book Synopsis Six Theories of Justice by : Karen Lebacqz
Download or read book Six Theories of Justice written by Karen Lebacqz and published by Augsburg Books. This book was released on 1986 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There may be no more urgent cry today than that of "justice" -- and no more frequent accusation than that of "injustice." But what is meant when these terms are used? Six Theories of Justice clarifies that question and offers major alternative answers. Dr. Lebacqz surveys three philosophical approaches to justice: John Stuart Mill's utilitarianism, the "contract" system of John Rawls, and the "entitlement" views of Robert Nozick. These are followed by analysis of three theological approaches: that of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops, of Reinhold Niebuhr, and of the liberation theologian Jose Porfirio Miranda. A comparison of the effectiveness of each approach in providing direction for facing and dealing with contemporary issues and situations adds to the usefulness of this volume. A lucid and well-structured introduction to recent thinking in social ethics.
Book Synopsis Justice and Justification by : Norman Daniels
Download or read book Justice and Justification written by Norman Daniels and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1996-09-28 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We all have beliefs, even strong convictions, about what is just and fair in our social arrangements. How should these beliefs and the theories of justice that incorporate them guide our thinking about practical matters of justice? This wide-ranging collection of essays by one of the foremost medical ethicists in the United States explores the claim that justification in ethics, whether concerning matters of theory or practice, involves achieving coherence or "reflective equilibrium" (as Rawls has called it) between our moral and nonmoral beliefs. Among the practical issues the volume addresses are the design of health-care institutions, the distribution of goods between the old and the young, and fairness in hiring and firing practices. In combining ethical theory and practical ethics this volume will prove especially valuable to philosophers concerned with ethics and applied ethics, political theorists, bioethicists, and others involved in the study of public policy.
Book Synopsis The Ethics of Justice Without Illusions by : Louis E. Wolcher
Download or read book The Ethics of Justice Without Illusions written by Louis E. Wolcher and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-06-17 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The founding premise of this book is that the nimbus of prestige, which once surrounded the idea of justice, has now been dimmed to such a degree that it is no longer sufficient to secure the possibility of a good conscience for those who undertake, in good faith, to make the world a better place in the spheres of politics and law. The many decent human beings who have noticed and experienced this diminishment of justice’s prestige find themselves in a thoroughly disenchanted existential situation. For them, the attempt to do justice without the illusion of being grounded in something beyond the sheer facticity of their own performances is a distinctly ethical theme, which cries out to be investigated in its own right. Heeding the cry, this book asks and attempts to answer the following fundamental ethical question: is a life in the law – even one spent in the pursuit of justice – worth living, and if so, how can a disenchanted person come to bear the living of it without constantly having to engage in self-deception? If Nietzsche is right that living without illusions is impossible for human beings, then the most important ethical implication of this essentially anthropological fact goes far beyond the question of what illusions we ought to choose. It must also include the question of whether we should succumb to that most seductive and pernicious of all illusions: namely, the belief that exercising great care and responsibility in choosing our illusions – which we might then call our ‘principles of justice’ – excuses us ethically for what we do to others in their name. The culmination of a 10 year legal-philosophical project, this book will appeal to graduate students, scholars and curious non-academic intellectuals interested in continental philosophy, critical legal theory, postmodern theology, the philosophy of human rights and the study of individual ethics in the context of law.

Book Synopsis The Human Right to Water: Justice . . . or Sham? by : Evelyne Fiechter-Widemann
Download or read book The Human Right to Water: Justice . . . or Sham? written by Evelyne Fiechter-Widemann and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2017-05-05 with total page 538 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water is a matter of life and death. Advanced technology and engineering enable humans to gain better access to it. Nonetheless, the conditions and effort required to reach this goal remain colossal in many countries. Building a lasting infrastructure for adequate treatment before and after use is costly. Therefore, the author believes that a radical change of thinking among people around the world, from the domestic to the large-scale users, becomes a priority. Even if the United Nations entitles all people to justice for water, more responsible and ethical use of it by all interested parties is more important than the spreading of promises, which, in practice, may turn out to be a sham. Only a better understanding that access to water rests on the efforts of everyone, without exception, will reduce overuse, waste, and pollution of the indispensable resource. This volume, while written from a theological, philosophical, and legal perspective (focusing on John Calvin, John Rawls, and Paul Ricoeur), demonstrates that water cannot be merely understood as a human right, but also has to be dealt with from an economic point of view as well as under the authority of the Golden Rule.

Download or read book Phänomenologie und Ethik. Perspektivische Erkundungen / Phaenomenology and Ethics. Perspective explorations written by Jure Zovko and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays considers fundamental philosophical questions from a variety of perspectives, taking as point of departure the standpoint of Classical German thinkers Kant and Hegel with their focus on epistemic, moral, and aesthetic values as central to achievement of a meaningful human life, both as an individual and in the context of human society and culture, nature, and the universe as a whole. From this vantage point, the relationship of poetry and philosophy comes into play, and central ethical questions are raised regarding the practice of life in relation to human rights and the rights of other species.
Book Synopsis Corrective and Distributive Justice by : Izhak Englard
Download or read book Corrective and Distributive Justice written by Izhak Englard and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2009-02-17 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corrective and Distributive Justice: From Aristotle to Modern Times retraces the intricate history of the distinction between corrective and distributive justice. This distinction is elaborated in the 5th book of Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics, which was rediscovered in Western Europe in the 12th and 13th centuries by the Scholastics and turned into a central topic in legal and theological scholarship. After a decline of interest in the wake of the enlightenment and secularization, a surprising revival of these notions of justice occurred in U.S. legal and philosophical discourse during the last four decades that has made this distinction a central issue in tort law, restitution and other important fields of private and public law. In literally hundreds of articles and a considerable number of books, the Aristotelian distinction has been elaborated, discussed, and applied. Englard's unique contribution to this aspect of legal history grants the contemporary reader a historical perspective that is vital for a deepened understanding of the distinction and modern concerns. Organized chronologically, Englard's research covers: Aristotle, High Scholastics, Late Scholastics, Post-Scholastics, and Modernity. The relevant literature is notoriously difficult to access, not only because of its Latin language, but because of the physical rarity of the relevant books scattered throughout the world. This book offers the modern reader a touchstone synthesis of intellectual and legal history.

Book Synopsis The Idea of Development Between its Past and its Future by : Ioanna Kuçuradi
Download or read book The Idea of Development Between its Past and its Future written by Ioanna Kuçuradi and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2020-04 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ideas play a more crucial role in history than they appear to do at first sight. If not sufficiently scrutinized, they sometimes lead to results far divergent from the initial intentions of those who put them forth as lines of orientation for practice. This seems to be also the case with the idea of "development", which has marked social and political practice in the second half of the 20 th Century. In this volume philosophers from different parts of the world discuss, and attempt to evaluate, from epistemological and ethical points of view, the idea of "development", as the principal objective of national and international policies during the past few decades.
