Book Synopsis The Grand International Challenges by : Stefan Heuser
Download or read book The Grand International Challenges written by Stefan Heuser and published by . This book was released on 2021-06 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Das 21. Jahrhundert ist geprägt von globalen Zusammenhängen und Herausforderungen: Welternährung, Digitalisierung, Klimaschutz, Migration, Nachhaltigkeit, Geschlechtergerechtigkeit und Pandemien. Diese drängenden Fragen unserer Zeit wirken in alle Bereiche des öffentlichen und privaten Lebens und bestimmen weitgehend die Gegenwart. Aufgrund ihrer globalen Dimensionierung und Relevanz sprechen manche inzwischen salopp von den "Weltretter-Themen". Neben Politik, Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft betreffen sie auch die theologische Ethik in elementarer Weise. Der Band widmet sich zur Erweiterung des Problemhorizontes gebündelt und überblicksartig diesen globalen Themen in theologisch-ethischer Perspektive. Ganz bewusst kommt dabei auch die Sichtweise des "Global South" zu Wort und eine entwicklungspolitische Perspektivierung der "Global International Challenges" wird vorgenommen.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vor nunmehr über 20 Jahren setzten Jürgen Habermas und Karl-Otto Apel das philosophische Forschungsprogramm der Diskursethik in Gang. Es folgte eine breit geführte Diskussion um die richtige Begründung und Anwendung diskursethischer Grundprinzipien, aus der in den letzten Jahren mehrere umfassende Neukonzeptionen hervorgingen. Die Autoren diskutieren zentrale Probleme der bisherigen Entwürfe auf eine konstruktive Art und Weise, sie führen alternative Entwürfe aus und eröffnen der Diskursethik so neue Perspektiven.

Book Synopsis Ethische Perspektiven by : Adrian Holderegger
Download or read book Ethische Perspektiven written by Adrian Holderegger and published by . This book was released on 2021-12-07 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die Ethik ist eine Wissenschaft, die sich in der Praxis zu bewähren hat. Unsere hochkomplexe Gesellschaft, unsere hochspezialisierte Technik im Human- und Außer Human Bereich, wie auch die weltanschaulich und kulturell durchmischten Lebensformen stellen uns zwangsläufig auch vor ethische Frage: wie weit sind unsere Lebenswelten (noch) vereinbar mit unseren Grundvorstellungen von Humanität, Freiheit und Gerechtigkeit? Der Autor war nicht bloß während Jahrzehnten Universitätslehrer an verschiedenen Universitäten und Fakultäten, sondern er hat sich als solcher in der politischen Öffentlichkeit - sei es als Experte, sei es als Mitglied verschiedener Gremien, sei es als engagierter Bürger - immer wieder zu Wort gemeldet. Es war ihm wichtig, den theologisch-ethischen Diskurs in die Öffentlichkeit hineinzutragen. Im Zentrum standen - wen wundert's - Fragen der Menschenwürde, der Menschenrechte, von Gewalt und Frieden, der Lebensethik, der Ökologie. Die besondere Herausforderung bestand jeweils darin, theologisch-ethische Grundüberzeugungen in eine Welt hinein zu formulieren, deren ausgeprägte Säkularität und kulturelle Diversität eine zusätzliche Schwierigkeit der Vermittlung bedeuten. Die hier zusammengefügten Reflexionen, Essays und Stellungnahmen sind markante, repräsentative Ausschnitte eines Jahrzentelangen Erwägens und Nachdenkens, was nötig ist und was in wichtigen Lebensbereichen aus ethischer Sicht zu tun ist. Manches ist heute dringlicher geworden (z.B. Klimaethik); manches ist aber auch offener geworden aufgrund neuer Erfahrung und neuer Erkenntnis (z.B. Sexualmoral). So wird der Sammelband nicht bloß zu einem Dokument einer öffentlichen-politischen Moraltheologie, sondern auch zu einem Zeugnis kritischer Auseinandersetzung "in der Zeit".
Book Synopsis Contemporary European Perspectives on the Ethics of End of Life Care by : Nathan Emmerich
Download or read book Contemporary European Perspectives on the Ethics of End of Life Care written by Nathan Emmerich and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-05-12 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the ethics of end of life care, focusing on the kinds of decisions that are commonly made in clinical practice. Specific attention is paid to the intensification of treatment for terminal symptoms, particularly pain relief, and the withdrawal and withholding of care, particularly life-saving or life-prolonging medical care. The book is structured into three sections. The first section contains essays examining end of life care from the perspective of moral theory and theology. The second sets out various conceptual terms and distinctions relevant to decision-making at the end of life. The third section contains chapters that focus on substantive ethical issues. This format not only provides for a comprehensive analysis of the ethical issues that arise in the context of end of life care but allows readers to effectively trace the philosophical, theological and conceptual underpinnings that inform their specific interests. This work will be of interest to scholars working in the area as well as clinicians, specialists and healthcare professionals who encounter these issues in the course of their practice.
Book Synopsis Shaping the Moral Life by : Klaus Demmer
Download or read book Shaping the Moral Life written by Klaus Demmer and published by Georgetown University Press. This book was released on 2000-10-27 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although he is one of the most influential Catholic theologians in Europe, very few of Klaus Demmer's writings are available in English. This translation of his well-known work on moral theology introduces Demmer's thought to English-speaking audiences. In an original synthesis of scholastic and continental philosophy, Demmer brings the Catholic moral tradition into conversation with contemporary philosophical schools—transcendental, hermeneutical, and analytical—to fashion a moral theology in the spirit of the Second Vatican Council. He shows the richness of the neoscholastic tradition in shaping and being shaped by our contemporary self-understanding. A complete bibliography of Demmer's works will assist readers in seeking out more of his writings.
Book Synopsis Transfigured not Conformed by : Hans G. Ulrich
Download or read book Transfigured not Conformed written by Hans G. Ulrich and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-12-16 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The moral theology of Hans G. Ulrich is presented here in English for the first time. These collected essays represent the culmination of a lifetime of reflection on Christian living from this German theologian in conversation with Luther, Bonhoeffer, and contemporary philosophers and theologians. Ulrich's ethics affirm the lively presence of the living work of God in orienting the daily life of Christians. This presence enables members of the Church to live as creatures trusting in God's promises, bearing witness in political and economic spheres, and trusting in life as a gift in response to bioethical issues. Ulrich's fresh take on living out of the promise of God yields further guidance on issues in international relations, economics, parenting, disability, and more.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

Book excerpt: Es besteht das offenkundige Desiderat einer interdisziplinären Diskussion moralpsychologischer Themen in ethischer Perspektive. Mit wenigen Ausnahmen (vorrangig im englischsprachigen Raum) gibt es hierzu keine neueren übergreifenden fachwissenschaftlichen Veröffentlichungen.

Die Publikation nimmt Ausgang bei der im WS 2012/13 organisierte Vortragsreihe "(Ethische) Perspektiven der Moralpsychologie" und baut das Thema als eigenständige Konzeption aus und vertieft es. Das systematisch ausgerichtete Buch soll eine Einführung und weiterführende Impulse für das Forschungsfeld der Moralpsychologie geben und dieses in seiner ethischen Relevanz reflektieren. Dazu werden Beiträge zu zentralen moralpsychologischen und darauf bezogenen ethischen Themenfeldern zusammengeführt.
Book Synopsis Transhumanism as a Challenge for Ethics and Religion by : LIT Verlag
Download or read book Transhumanism as a Challenge for Ethics and Religion written by LIT Verlag and published by LIT Verlag. This book was released on 2021-01-01 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The crucial question of our time is: How to preserve humanity, humanitas, in a world of radical and not so long ago practically unimaginable technological possibilities? The book addresses this issue through its treatment of transhumanism, a diverse movement the representatives of which promise and advocate for the enhancement of human being through modern science, technology, and pharmacology. Their views differ in the degree of extremity, and they contain many ambiguities, as well as pitfalls and dangers that require an answer from both ethical and religious points of view. The book deepens the understanding of transhumanism in an interdisciplinary way and thus helps to form the right attitude towards it that will truly benefit human flourishing. It offers a rich variety of views on transhumanism, ranging from its illumination in the light of contemporary research into happiness, through liberal eugenics and biopolitics, all the way to its considerations in terms of religions and manifestations in concrete works of art. Robert Petkovek is Professor of Philosophy at the Faculty of Theology, University of Ljubljana. Professor Bojan alec is the Head of the Institute of Philosophy and Social Ethics at the Faculty of Theology, University of Ljubljana.

Book Synopsis Albert Schweitzer in Thought and Action by : James Carleton Paget
Download or read book Albert Schweitzer in Thought and Action written by James Carleton Paget and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 2016-12-09 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1940s and 1950s, Albert Schweitzer was one of the best-known figures on the world stage. Courted by monarchs, world statesmen, and distinguished figures from the literary, musical, and scientific fields, Schweitzer was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1952, cementing his place as one of the great intellectual leaders of his time. Schweitzer is less well known now but nonetheless a man of perennial fascination, and this volume seeks to bring his achievements across a variety of areas—philosophy, theology, and medicine—into sharper focus. To that end, international scholars from diverse disciplines offer a wide-ranging examination of Schweitzer’s life and thought over the course of forty years. Albert Schweitzer in Thought and Action gives readers a fuller, richer, and more nuanced picture of this controversial but monumental figure of twentieth-century life—and, in some measure, of that complex century itself.
Book Synopsis International Handbook of Practical Theology by : Birgit Weyel
Download or read book International Handbook of Practical Theology written by Birgit Weyel and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2022-09-06 with total page 586 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Practical theology has outgrown its traditional pastoral paradigm. The articles in this handbook recognize that faith, spirituality, and lived religion, within and beyond institutional communities, refer to realms of cultures, ritual practices, and symbolic orders, whose boundaries are not clearly defined and whose contents are shifting. The International Handbook of Practical Theology offers insightful transcultural conceptions of religion and religious matters gathered from various cultures and traditions of faith. The first section presents ‘concepts of religion’. Chapters have to do with considerations of the conceptualizing of religion in the fields of ‘anthropology’, ‘community’, ‘family’, ‘institution’, ‘law’, ‘media’, and ‘politics’ among others. The second section is dedicated to case studies of ‘religious practices’ from the perspective of their actors. The third section presents major theoretical discourses that explore the globally significant diversity and multiplicity of religion. Altogether, sixty-one authors from different parts of the world encourage a rethinking of religious practice in an expanded, transcultural, globalized, and postcolonial world.
Book Synopsis Interpreting Studies at the Crossroads of Disciplines by : Simon Zupan
Download or read book Interpreting Studies at the Crossroads of Disciplines written by Simon Zupan and published by Frank & Timme GmbH. This book was released on 2017-07-07 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interdisciplinarity has been a defining feature of Interpreting Studies from its inception. The present volume comprises a selection of papers by authors from five different European countries; the papers explore the crossroads of various subdisciplines within Interpreting Studies and beyond. The contributions show that, while traditional approaches and combinations with other established disciplines such as sociology, law or linguistics remain common, advances in technology, in particular rapid software development, require that Interpreting Studies must also adapt to and accept a new social reality. Using examples from a range of institutional settings, the authors demonstrate what the effect of these changes has been and will be on the theory, teaching and practice of interpreting.
Book Synopsis The Ethics of Mobilities by : Tore Sager
Download or read book The Ethics of Mobilities written by Tore Sager and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-23 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With this book the international academic discourse on mobility is taken a step further, through the intertwined perspectives of different social sciences, engineering and the humanities. The Ethics of Mobilities departs from the recent interest in social surveillance, raised by the use of technology for the surveillance and control of mobility as well as for transport. It widens this theme to encompass a broad scale of issues, ranging from freedom and escape to social exclusion and control, thus raising important questions of ethics, identity and religion; questions that are dealt with by a diverse, yet structured range of chapters, arranged around the themes of ethics and religion, and freedom and control. Through their variety and diversity of perspectives, the chapters of this book offer a substantial interdisciplinary contribution to the socially and environmentally relevant discussion about what a technically and economically accelerating mobility does to life and how it might be transformed to sustain a more life-enhancing future. Ethics of Mobilities will excite not only international interest, but will also appeal to scholars across a wide range of disciplines, in fields as diverse as theology and engineering.
Book Synopsis Handbook of Intergenerational Justice by : Joerg Chet Tremmel
Download or read book Handbook of Intergenerational Justice written by Joerg Chet Tremmel and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contributors to this volume undertake to establish the foundations and definitions of intergenerational justice and to explore its capacity to guide us in policy and public opinion judgments we must make to face unprecedented issues. . . We are changing the biosphere and using resources to an extent never contemplated in the history of ethics. Deterioration of our oceans, loss of topsoil, insecurity about potable water supplies, the ozone hole, global warming, and the question about how to handle high-level nuclear waste which remains lethal perhaps 400,000 years from now, are some examples whose consequences reach far beyond inherited principles and policies of responsibility to others. This Handbook works to open a path for debate, extension of our tradition and invention of new thinking on these issues. Craig Walton, University of Nevada, Las Vegas, US More than a Handbook, this collection is a landmark work showing the way to a new ethics of intergenerational responsibility. It raises, in the most comprehensive way, the overarching ethical questions of our time, What are the rights of future generations? and How might present generations establish a philosophical foundation for its responsibilities to generations to come? . Peter Blaze Corcoran, Center for Environmental and Sustainability Education, Florida Gulf Coast University, US This important book provides a rich menu of history, current theory, and future directions in constitutional law, philosophy of rights and justice, and the relations of economics and politics to time, institutions, and the common good. It is enlivened by back-and-forth discussions among the authors (including some disagreements), as well as by applications to important contemporary issues such as climate change, nuclear waste, and public debt. Theoretic considerations are nicely balanced with examples of the means adopted in a number of countries to establish a legal foundation for protection of the quality of life for future generations. Neva Goodwin, Tufts University, US Do we owe the future anything? If so, what and why? Our capacity to affect the lives of future generations is greater than ever before, but what principles should regulate our relationship with people who don t yet exist? This Handbook offers a comprehensive survey of the key debates and pathbreaking accounts of potential ways forward both ethical and institutional. Andrew Dobson, The Open University, UK This Handbook provides a detailed overview of various issues related to intergenerational justice. Comprising articles written by a distinguished group of scholars from the international scientific community, the Handbook is divided into two main thematic sections foundations and definitions of intergenerational justice and institutionalization of intergenerational justice. The first part clarifies basic terms and traces back the origins of the idea of intergenerational justice. It also focuses on the problem of intergenerational buck-passing in the ecological context; for example in relation to nuclear waste and the greenhouse effect. At the same time, it also sheds light on the relationship between intergenerational justice and economics, addressing issues such as public debt and financial sustainability. The innovative second part of the volume highlights how posterity can be institutionally protected, such as by inserting relevant clauses into national constitutions. Reading this volume is the best way to gain an overall knowledge of intergenerational justice an extremely salient and topical issue of our time. The Handbook is an important contribution to the literature and will be of great interest to academics and graduate students as well as readers interested in wider human rights issues.
