Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Après avoir restitué le mouvement, en vertu duquel le philosophe expose dans Le Principe responsabilité une éthique qui s’applique à la vie et en provient, cet ouvrage justifie le tournant médical opéré par Hans Jonas dans Technik, Medizin und Ethik. Cela ouvre une réflexion en quatre temps. En premier lieu, il faut faire un diagnostic éthique du rôle de la technique au sein de la recherche scientifique. En second lieu, il faut se demander si l’accélération de nos progrès technologiques ne modifie pas la signification de la médecine, ce qui requiert une interrogation sur les valeurs qui guident cette pratique. Il apparaît alors que ce sont les conditions les plus essentielles de notre être-au-monde, la naissance et la mort, qui risquent d’être altérées par l’agir technologique. Dans un troisième et quatrième moment, il faudra donc se pencher sur la manière dont la procréation médicale assistée et, plus fondamentalement encore, l’ingénierie future pourraient modifier le sens de la venue au monde des enfants. Outre la natalité, la mortalité est le second pôle qui détermine les conditions essentielles de la présence au monde de l’homme. C’est la raison pour laquelle, dans un dernier temps, l’éthique doit également se pencher sur la manière dont des techniques, apparues dans la seconde moitié du XXe siècle, peuvent bouleverser notre façon de mourir.

Book Synopsis Human Dignity of the Vulnerable in the Age of Rights by : Aniceto Masferrer
Download or read book Human Dignity of the Vulnerable in the Age of Rights written by Aniceto Masferrer and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-08-26 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is devoted to exploring a subject which, on the surface, might appear to be just a trending topic. In fact, it is much more than a trend. It relates to an ancient, permanent issue which directly connects with people’s life and basic needs: the recognition and protection of individuals’ dignity, in particular the inherent worthiness of the most vulnerable human beings. The content of this book is described well enough by its title: ‘Human Dignity of the Vulnerable in the Age of Rights’. Certainly, we do not claim that only the human dignity of vulnerable people should be recognized and protected. We rather argue that, since vulnerability is part of the human condition, human vulnerability is not at odds with human dignity. To put it simply, human dignity is compatible with vulnerability. A concept of human dignity which discards or denies the dignity of the vulnerable and weak is at odds with the real human condition. Even those individuals who might seem more skilled and talented are fragile, vulnerable and limited. We need to realize that human condition is not limitless. It is crucial to re-discover a sense of moderation regarding ourselves, a sense of reality concerning our own nature. Some lines of thought take the opposite view. It is sometimes argued that humankind is – or is called to be – powerful, and that the time will come when there will be no vulnerability, no fragility, no limits at all. Human beings will become like God (or what believers might think God to be). This perspective rejects human vulnerability as in intrinsic evil. Those who are frail or weak, who are not autonomous or not able to care for themselves, do not possess dignity. In this volume it is claimed that vulnerability is an inherent part of human condition, and because human dignity belongs to all individuals, laws are called to recognize and protect the rights of all of them, particularly of those who might appear to be more vulnerable and fragile.
Book Synopsis Global Ethics and Moral Responsibility by : John-Stewart Gordon
Download or read book Global Ethics and Moral Responsibility written by John-Stewart Gordon and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-05-15 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The philosophy of Hans Jonas was widely influential in the late twentieth century, warning of the potential dangers of technological progress and its negative effect on humanity and nature. Jonas advocated greater moral responsibility and taking this as a starting point, this volume explores current ethical issues within the context of his philosophy. It considers the vital intersection between law and global ethics, covering issues related to technology and ethics, medical ethics, religion and environmental ethics. Examining different aspects of Hans Jonas’ philosophy and applying it to contemporary issues, leading international scholars and experts on his work suggest original and promising solutions to topical problems. This collection of articles revives interest in Hans Jonas’ ethical reasoning and his notion of responsibility. The book covers a wide range of areas and is useful to those interested in philosophy and theory of law, human rights, ethics, bioethics, environmental law, philosophy and theology as well as political theory and philosophy.
Book Synopsis Ethics, Psyche and Social Responsibility by : Ana Maria Davila Gomez
Download or read book Ethics, Psyche and Social Responsibility written by Ana Maria Davila Gomez and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2016-05-23 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last few decades have seen significant changes in the structure of business organizations, including downsizing, outsourcing and flattened management structures. The effects on employees have been considerable. In this context the importance of the psychological contract between employer and employee has been overlooked, and there is uncertainty about what can be done to bring about changes to this contract and ultimately the future of organizations. This important book considers the psychological aspects of organizational life, particularly in the context of firms' ethical behaviour and its implications for corporate social responsibility. The authors consider the effects of corporate activity and change on individuals, not just in their working lives, but also in their family and social lives. They address a diverse number of topics from a variety of theoretical standpoints in an ongoing attempt to redress this neglected field of research.

Book Synopsis Le principe responsabilité. Une éthique pour la civilisation technologique by : Hans Jonas
Download or read book Le principe responsabilité. Une éthique pour la civilisation technologique written by Hans Jonas and published by Flammarion. This book was released on 2024-06-12T00:00:00+02:00 with total page 521 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les morales traditionnelles sont devenues inopérantes, en particulier pour les décideurs politiques. Hans Jonas propose une reformulation de l’éthique autour de l’idée de responsabilité, sous ses différents aspects (naturelle et contractuelle), et voit dans les parents et les hommes d’état deux modèles essentiels ; il discute les idéaux de progrès et les utopies (d’où le titre qui rappelle Le Principe espérance d’Ernst Bloch) et dessine une philosophie de l’« espérance responsable » fondée sur le respect. L’accueil réservé à cette grande œuvre – des philosophes aux décideurs politiques et des pédagogues aux scientifiques – témoigne de l’actualité d’une telle réflexion.

Download or read book Memoirs written by Hans Jonas and published by Brandeis University Press. This book was released on 2021-04 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jonas was a veritable intellectual celebrity, in Germany, owing to the runaway success of his 1979 book The Imperative of Responsibility, an extra-ordinarily timely work that mediates between humankind's enormous technological capacities and its diminished moral sensibilities. The book became something of a cultural shibboleth; Jonas himself became a celebrated public intellectual. For Jonas, this development must have been enormously gratifying. In the 1920s, Jonas studied philosophy with Edmund Husserl and Martin Heidegger at universities in Marburgh and Freiburg, but the Nazi regime's early attempts to Aryanize the universities forced Jonas to leave Germany for London. He emigrated to Palestine in 1935 and eventually enlisted in the British Army's Jewish Brigade to fight against Hitlerism. Following the Israeli War of Independence, in which he also fought, he emigrated to the US and took a position at the New School for Social Research in New York. He became part of a circle of friends around Hannah Arendt and Heinrich Blucher, which included Adolph Lowe and Paul Tillich. Because Jonas's life spanned nearly the entire twentieth century, this memoir provides nuanced pictures of a host of important historical moments--of German Jewry during the Weimar Republic, of German Zionism, of the Jewish emigrants in Palestine during the 1930s and 1940s, and of German Jewish emigre intellectuals in New York. In addition, Jonas outlines the development of his work, beginning with his studies under Husserl and Heidegger and extending through his later metaphysical speculations about "God after Auschwitz."
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 503 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.
Book Synopsis Education for Responsibility by : Hélène Hagège
Download or read book Education for Responsibility written by Hélène Hagège and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2019-07-30 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Changing your mind to change the world is the general principle proposed to educate for responsibility. Using an interdisciplinary scientific approach, this book dissects the functioning of the ego, that is to say the belief in a self, an illusion that causes disharmony. After an original modeling of the notion of responsibility, the author deduces that it is incumbent on all of us to become aware of the relationship between our own minds and the world. Thus, gaining consistency and awareness, everyone would have the potential to free themselves from the illusion of the ego and contribute to a more harmonious world. This book therefore proposes psychospiritual skills, favored in particular by different forms of reflexivity and by meditation (and mindfulness), which can serve as a basis for a curriculum to educate for responsibility. This academic connection between meditation and ethics is a major innovative contribution.
Book Synopsis Un avenir problématique by : Michel Fabre
Download or read book Un avenir problématique written by Michel Fabre and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quelle Terre allons-nous laisser à nos enfants et pourront-ils y mener une existence d’hommes et de femmes capables d’exercer à leur tour leurs responsabilités ? Telle est la question que pose le philosophe Hans Jonas (1903-1993) et qui est désormais la nôtre dans notre monde problématique menacé par les catastrophes écologiques et sanitaires. Cet ouvrage s’efforce de reconstruire la pensée ontologique, éthique et politique de Jonas et d’en dégager les implications éducatives. Il la resitue dans le contexte de la philosophie allemande du XXe siècle et de la réflexion sur la technique moderne que développent les disciples dissidents de Martin Heidegger, comme Hannah Arendt et Günther Anders. La pensée de Jonas et particulièrement son maître livre, le Principe responsabilité, s’avère d’une singulière actualité et permet de nourrir nombre de nos questionnements sur l’anthropocène, l’écologie politique et l’éducation à la responsabilité. Le principe de précaution est-il à la hauteur des catastrophes qui s’annoncent ? Que penser du bio-pouvoir et de l’état d’urgence sanitaire ? La démocratie est-elle la mieux armée pour gérer les crises de l’anthropocène ? Comment interpréter les interpellations culpabilisatrices d’une certaine jeunesse accusant les adultes d’irresponsabilité devant l’avenir ? Penser d’après Jonas c’est se laisser interpeller par une pensée radicale tout en soulignant, d’un point de vue critique, les tensions qui traversent son œuvre entre le souci de la survie et celui de la dignité humaine, entre paternalisme et exigence d’autonomie ? Quelles sont les implications politiques et éducatives de telles tensions qui sont les nôtres aujourd’hui ? Penser avec et quelque fois contre Jonas est une aventure, qui, loin de se clore sur des réponses définitives, ouvre de nouveaux questionnements. Cet ouvrage s’adresse aux chercheurs, formateurs, éducateurs, enseignants ainsi qu’au public cultivé soucieux des enjeux de la responsabilité politique et éducative dans le monde problématique d’aujourd’hui.
Book Synopsis Alice Munro's Bestiary by : Héliane Ventura
Download or read book Alice Munro's Bestiary written by Héliane Ventura and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2024-10-09 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking its cue from medieval bestiaries, this alphabet book is composed of 63 entries ranging from ADDER to WOLFHOUNDS, with each entry juxtaposing an image, an excerpt from a story by Alice Munro, and a commentary. The images are reproduced from original medieval illuminations, the excerpts feature an animal, or a human being depicted through animal comparison, and the commentaries highlight the way Munro suggests relationality between the human and the non-human. Munro troubles the boundaries between good and evil as she troubles the boundaries between human and non-human. Through the mask of the animal, she effects a release from strict morality and proposes an uncommon and undomesticated representation of human life, revolving on simultaneous transcendence and derision. The volume will appeal to Munro scholars and to lovers of Alice Munro alike because it solves some of the enigmas set by her stories but suggests other riddles and more secrets.

Paul Ricoeur is also published as Volume 21 Issue 5/6 of Philosophy and Social Criticism.
Book Synopsis Science, Technology, Policy and International Law by : Justo Corti Varela
Download or read book Science, Technology, Policy and International Law written by Justo Corti Varela and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-10-02 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents innovative insights into the intersections between science, technology, and society, and particularly their regulation by the law. Departing from the idea that law and science have similar methods and objectives, the book deals with problems, and solutions, that source from these interactions: concerns on how to integrate scientific evidence into trials, how to best regulate new technologies, or whether technological innovations could improve democratic legitimacy, create new regulatory tools or even new spaces of regulation, and what is the impact on the society. The edited collection, by building on a functionalist and comparatist approach, offers answers to how to best integrate law, science, and technology in policy-making and reviews the current attempts made at the transnational and international levels. Case studies, ranging from emerging technologies via environmental protection to statistics, are complemented by a solid theoretical framework, all of which seek to provide readers with tools for critical thinking in the reassessment of the relationship among theory, practice, political goals, and international regulation.
Book Synopsis Ethics Handbook for the Space Odyssey by : Jacques Arnould
Download or read book Ethics Handbook for the Space Odyssey written by Jacques Arnould and published by ATF Press. This book was released on 2020-04-01 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With his particular questioning style, Jacques Arnould takes us on a journey through the history of space exploration and utilisation from a multidisciplinary perspective. This book deals with philosophical and societal questions, national and international policy, legal and responsibility aspects. By asking the right questions, Jacques helps us understand many of the questions most humans ask themselves about why, what, for whom, for how long and how humanity will (or should) expand its presence in and benefit from outer space. The French CNES is the first space agency that decided to employ an expert in the ethics of space activities, and the International Space University and the University of South Australia are the only where space ethics is regularly taught in its programs as part of its unique multidisciplinary curricula.
