Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Après avoir, à la lumière du philosophe belge contemporain Gilbert Hottois, situé la notion de technoscience, résultat du passage d'une science primitivement contemplative à son instrumentalisation par le biais de la technique, au point qu'on aboutit, avec le projet baconien de la science, à la technicisation de la science et à la scientifisation de la technique, M. Serge-Christian Mboudou a analysé, à la lumière cette fois de Hans Jonas, la technoscience telle qu'elle a accru l'agir de l'homme et posé des problèmes que l'éthique de la transcendance et de l'immanence ne pouvaient plus résoudre. Pour résoudre les problèmes dont s'accompagne la technoscience, Jonas estime qu'il faut une éthique nouvelle, l'éthique de l'avenir qu'il appelle également l'éthique de la responsabilité. Cette éthique est principalement fondée sur un concept de référence, 1'" heuristique de la peur ". C'est cela qui motive l'auteur de ce livre à s'interroger sur la possibilité de la peur à fonder l'éthique de l'avenir. Autrement dit, un avenir terrifiant suffit-il à imposer à l'agir de l'homme une autocorrection éthique pouvant permettre à l'humanité présente et future de se protéger contre le risque de l'apocalypse ?

This book was released on 2009-01-19 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The STICS crop model has been developed since 1996 at INRA in collaboration with other research and technical institutes. The model syntheses, illustrates and concretizes an important part of the French agronomic knowledge as a point of view on the field and cropping systems working. The formalisations of the STICS crop model presented in this book can be considered as references used in the framework of crop sciences. The book arrangement relies on the way the model designs the crop-soil system functioning, each chapter being devoted to a set of important functions such as growth initiation, yield onset, water uptake, transformation of organic matter etc. One chapter deals with the cropping system and long term simulations and the final chapter is about the involvement of the user in terms of option choices and parameterization. If this book is mainly intended for scientists who use the STICS model, it can also be useful for agronomists, crop modellers, students and technicians looking for elementary formalizations of the crop-soil system functioning.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'éthique de la responsabilité de Hans Jonas conçue à la fin des années 70 se donnait la tâche de faire face aux défis et dangers du progrès technoscientifique et de la crise écologique. Trois décennies après, il sied de se demander si elle est toujours à la hauteur de cette ambition. En effet, les thèmes majeurs de cette théorie éthique - la métaphysique comme fondement de l'éthique, l'heuristique de la peur comme voie d'approche et la téléologie comme manière de reconnaître et de fonder la valeur au sein de la nature - peuvent-ils encore parler au monde d'aujourd'hui tant les défis sont omniprésents et imposants ? Comment peut-on s'opposer à l'utopie de Karl Marx relayée par Ernst Bloch quand la crise financière semble prouver qu'il faut probablement attendre et espérer des lendemains meilleurs pour enfin bien vivre ? Penser aux générations futures garde-t-il encore son sens quand l'aujourd'hui devient de plus en plus précaire et incertain ? Comment vouloir dépasser l'impératif catégorique kantien quand on se rend compte que pouvoir, obligation et devoir deviennent plus que jamais des acquis d'une liberté humaine qui veut fondamentalement se développer de manière réflexive et intersubjective dans un environnement social libre et démocratique ? En des termes plus simples : Hans Jonas et son impératif de la responsabilité sont-ils encore actuels ? C'est à ces inquiétudes que cette recherche tente de donner une réponse.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Est-il vrai que la préoccupation pour l'environnement ne s'accommode pas avec toute forme d'organisation démocratique du pouvoir politique ? Dans son livre intitulé Pour une éthique du futur, Hans Jonas avoue que la « tyrannie serait toujours préférable au désastre », et qu'il approuve moralement une telle option « pour le cas où ce genre d'alternative se présenterait ». Mais choisir la tyrannie face à la catastrophe, n'est-ce pas opter pour une catastrophe contre une autre ? Instituer des régimes forts au nom de l'urgence écologique ne contrasterait-il pas avec les revendications quotidiennes en faveur de l'implantation de gouvernements démocratiques véritables ?

Book excerpt: The essays in this edited volume, written in English and French, tackle the intriguing problems of fear and safety by analysing their various meanings and manifestations in literature and other narrative media. The articles bring forth new, cross-cultural interpretations on fear and safety through examining what kinds of genre-specific means of world-making narratives use to express these two affectivities. The articles also show how important it is to study these themes in order to understand challenges in times of global threats, such as the climate crisis, and - to imagine a better future. The main themes of the book are approached from various theoretical perspectives as related to their literary and cultural representations. Recent trends in research, such as affect and risk theory, serve as the basis for the discussion. Many of the articles in the volume discuss apocalyptic and dystopian narratives that currently permeate the entire cultural landscape. Dystopian narratives do not only deal with future threats, such as totalitarianism, technocracy, or environmental disasters, but also suggest alternative ways of being and new hopes in the form of political resistance. The articles in the volume also draw from disciplines such as gender studies and trauma studies to examine the threats posed by collective fears and aggression on individuals' lives and propose ways of coping with fear. These themes are addressed also in articles analysing new adaptations of old myths that retell stories of the past.

Book excerpt: In Moral Boundaries Joan C. Tronto provides one of the most original responses to the controversial questions surrounding women and caring. Tronto demonstrates that feminist thinkers have failed to realise the political context which has shaped their debates about care. It is her belief that care cannot be a useful moral and political concept until its traditional and ideological associations as a "women's morality" are challenged. Moral Boundaries contests the association of care with women as empirically and historically inaccurate, as well as politically unwise. In our society, members of unprivileged groups such as the working classes and people of color also do disproportionate amounts of caring. Tronto presents care as one of the central activites of human life and illustrates the ways in which society degrades the importance of caring in order to maintain the power of those who are privileged.

Download or read book Caring Democracy written by Joan C. Tronto and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2013-04-12 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Americans now face a caring deficit: there are simply too many demands on people’s time for us to care adequately for our children, elderly people, and ourselves.At the same time, political involvement in the United States is at an all-time low, and although political life should help us to care better, people see caring as unsupported by public life and deem the concerns of politics as remote from their lives. Caring Democracy argues that we need to rethink American democracy, as well as our fundamental values and commitments, from a caring perspective. The idea that production and economic life are the most important political and human concerns ignores the reality that caring, for ourselves and others, should be the highest value that shapes how we view the economy, politics, and institutions such as schools and the family. Care is at the center of our human lives, but Tronto argues it is currently too far removed from the concerns of politics. Caring Democracy traces the reasons for this disconnection and argues for the need to make care, not economics, the central concern of democratic political life. Joan C. Tronto is a Professor in the Political Science Department at the University of Minnesota. She is the author of Moral Boundaries: A Political Argument for an Ethic of Care (Routledge).

Book excerpt: The era of chemical and biological megadeath is upon us, and the potential of deadly biowarfare attacks from governments, militant independent groups, and even individuals is far greater than it has been at any time in the past. At this time, more than twenty-five countries are developing, or have stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons, in many cases in sufficient quantities to wipe out the entire population of the world. So far the danger of chemical and biological aggression has been little acknowledged, and, at least in America, little prepared for by federal and local government. Most terrorist threats and attacks are not widely reported in the mainstream media. Although information about the proliferation of man-made diseases is carefully suppressed by governments and the media they will be covered in the pages of this book. Not only is America unprepared and ignorant of what is happening, but the people in government and scientific professions who do know, who should be warning the American public about the dangers of chemical and biological terrorism, are instead doing their utmost to hide this information from us; information that is vital for our survival.The information that is contained in the pages of this book will not be measured or calculated to reassure people that everything is fine, when reassurance is the exact opposite of what is needed at this time. It may even give you nightmares when you realise the real circumstance that we are in. The information in the pages that follow will be the truth about the biowarfare threat to America.

This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 521 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Until not much more than 20 years ago, economists frequently lamented the fact that they were limited in their empirical analyses to statistical assessments of market behavior, because controlled economic experiments were (thought to be) infeasible, unethical, or both. Much has changed in the intervening years! In this new volume, John List, Michael Price, and their co-authors provide a diverse set of applications of experimental approaches to the environmental economics realm. This is among the most promising of new areas of research in the economics of the environment, and this book provides a superb point of entry for experts and novices alike.' – Robert Stavins, Harvard University, US Laboratory and field experiments have grown significantly in prominence over the past decade. The experimental method provides randomization in key variables therefore permitting a deeper understanding of important economic phenomena. This path-breaking volume provides a valuable collection of experimental work within the area of environmental and resource economics and showcases how laboratory and field experiments can be used for both positive and normative purposes. The Handbook provides a timely reminder to social scientists, policymakers, international bodies, and practitioners that appropriate decision-making relies on immediate and sharp feedback, both of which are key features of proper experimentation. This book includes a collection of research that makes use of the experimental method to explore key issues within environmental and resource economics that will prove invaluable for both students and academics working in these areas.

Download or read book Care of the World written by Elena Pulcini and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-08-20 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book proposes a philosophy of care in a global age. It discusses the distinguishing and opposing pathologies produced by globalization: unlimited individualism or self-obsession, manifested as (Promethean) omnipotence and (narcissistic) indifference, and endogamous communitarianism or an ‘us’-obsession that results in conflict and violence. The polarization between a lack and an excess of pathos is reflected in the distorted forms taken on by fear. The book advocates a metamorphosis of fear, which may restore in the subject an awareness of vulnerability and become the precondition for moral action. Such awareness and the recognition of the condition of contamination caused by the other’s unavoidable presence teach us to fear for rather than be afraid of. Fear for the world means care of the world, and care, understood as concern and solicitude, is a new notion of responsibility, in which the stress is shifted to a relational subject capable of responding to and taking care of the other. From a global perspective, the proposed vision of care also compels us to explore a new paradigm of justice.
