Download or read book Ethics of the Sages written by and published by SkyLight Paths Publishing. This book was released on 2006 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The clear and compelling wisdom of the rabbinic sages can become a companion for your own spiritual journey. At the heart of Judaism is an ethical imperative to live life from your true self, as the image and likeness of God. To do this, you must see the greatness of God manifest in all things, and therefore engage each moment with grace, humility, and justice. This imperative flowers in the words of the early Rabbis (250 BCE-250 CE), who captured God's call to be holy in Pirke Avot, a collection of pithy sayings on how best to live an ethical life. This engaging introduction to the wisdom sayings of the rabbinic sages puts you in direct conversation with them, allowing the sages to speak directly to you about what matters in life and how to live it with dignity. With fresh, contemporary translation and provocative commentary, Rabbi Rami Shapiro focuses on the central themes in this Jewish wisdom compendium--study, kindness, compassion. He clarifies the rabbinic proverbs and parables in order to expose the ethical principles at their root. By recalling the ancient voices of the rabbinic sages, he shows us the contemporary significance of their timeless wisdom and distills Pirke Avot not as a book about ethics but as a practical guide to living ethically today. Now you can experience the wisdom of the early Rabbis even if you have no previous knowledge of Judaism or rabbinic literature. This SkyLight Illuminations edition presents the ethical teachings of the rabbinic sages, with insightful yet unobtrusive commentary that conveys Pirke Avot's core challenge of God to the Jewish people, and through them all humanity: We are to be holy as God is holy. We are to be, in a human way, what God is in a divine way.
Book Synopsis The Ethics of Vulnerability by : Erinn Gilson
Download or read book The Ethics of Vulnerability written by Erinn Gilson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-12-17 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As concerns about violence, war, terrorism, sexuality, and embodiment have garnered attention in philosophy, the concept of vulnerability has become a shared reference point in these discussions. As a fundamental part of the human condition, vulnerability has significant ethical import: how one responds to vulnerability matters, whom one conceives as vulnerable and which criteria are used to make such demarcations matters, how one deals with one’s own vulnerability matters, and how one understands the meaning of vulnerability matters. Yet, the meaning of vulnerability is commonly taken for granted and it is assumed that vulnerability is almost exclusively negative, equated with weakness, dependency, powerlessness, deficiency, and passivity. This reductively negative view leads to problematic implications, imperiling ethical responsiveness to vulnerability, and so prevents the concept from possessing the normative value many theorists wish it to have. When vulnerability is regarded as weakness and, concomitantly, invulnerability is prized, attentiveness to one’s own vulnerability and ethical response to vulnerable others remain out of reach goals. Thus, this book critiques the ideal of invulnerability, analyzes the problems that arise from a negative view of vulnerability, and articulates in its stead a non-dualistic concept of vulnerability that can remedy these problems.

Book Synopsis The Ethics and Politics of Environmental Cost-benefit Analysis by : Karine Nyborg
Download or read book The Ethics and Politics of Environmental Cost-benefit Analysis written by Karine Nyborg and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Putting a price tag on the environment is controversial. The aim of this book is to discuss some of the ethical and political issues arising in the context of applied cost-benefit analysis and environmental valuation - and to do so using economic analysis, but in a language accessible to non-specialists. In particular, the author emphasizes the fundamental, but surprisingly often poorly understood distinction between normative and positive analysis, and the implications of this distinction for practical use of cost-benefit analyses.
Book Synopsis An Analysis of Baruch Spinoza's Ethics by : Gary Slater
Download or read book An Analysis of Baruch Spinoza's Ethics written by Gary Slater and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-02-21 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Baruch Spinoza’s Ethics is a dense masterpiece of sustained argumentative reasoning. It earned its place as one of the most important and influential books in Western philosophy by virtue of its uncompromisingly direct arguments about the nature of God, the universe, free will, and human morals. Though it remains one of the densest and most challenging texts in the entire canon of Western philosophy, Ethics is also famous for Spinoza’s unique approach to ordering and constructing its arguments. As its full title – Ethics, Demonstrated in Geometrical Order – suggests, Spinoza decided to use the rigorous format of mathematical-style propositions to lay out his arguments, just as the Ancient Greek mathematician Euclid had used geometrical propositions to lay out the basic rules of geometry. In choosing such a systematic method, Spinoza’s masterwork shows the crucial aspects of good reasoning skills being employed at the highest level. The key use of reasoning is the production of an argument that is well-organised, supports its conclusions and proceeds logically towards its end. Just as a mathematician might demonstrate a geometrical proof, Spinoza sought to lay out a comprehensive philosophy for human existence – an attempt that has influenced generations of philosophers since.

Download or read book The Ethics written by Benedict de Spinoza and published by . This book was released on 2021-02-22 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ethics is a philosophical book written by Baruch Spinoza that best summarizes his work as a philosopher. The book is overtly ambitious as it strives to question and provide a definite thought on the universe and the significant aspects that shape it like God. The book is split into five categories that feed off each category to give a well-thought-out philosophy on God, nature, origin, humanity, emotions, servitude, intellect, and liberty. Spinoza writes that rational thought can be broken down into three different things; confidence in our knowledge, assurance that the universe is controlled by the law of rationality, and the voice of reason that acts as a guide. He further states that all it takes is the tiniest leap of faith and surrender to the idea that every action has a purpose. Only a degree of belief in the world can provide humans with enough motivation and drive to push beyond your limits. Despite the book being split into different sections to tackle different aspects, it follows a linear line that connects the entire thought as one singular unit. Spinoza argues that knowledge is discovered in three sequential stages. The lower stage knowledge is acquired through a sense of perception which holds little to no value because it lacks consistency and authenticity. The middle stage knowledge is discovered through scientific research. It's considered rational and adequate. They are also more dependable. The final stage of knowledge is based on scientific intuition. This stage solely depends on the complete mastery of the lower and middle stages. This last stage brings about transcendence. The idea that humans can see and understand beyond the known realms of this world. An individual that possesses this level of knowledge views everything in the universe as a singular unit and every single thing adds up to the outcome that supersedes every system set by mankind.

Book Synopsis Public Health Ethics: Cases Spanning the Globe by : Drue H. Barrett
Download or read book Public Health Ethics: Cases Spanning the Globe written by Drue H. Barrett and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-04-20 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Open Access book highlights the ethical issues and dilemmas that arise in the practice of public health. It is also a tool to support instruction, debate, and dialogue regarding public health ethics. Although the practice of public health has always included consideration of ethical issues, the field of public health ethics as a discipline is a relatively new and emerging area. There are few practical training resources for public health practitioners, especially resources which include discussion of realistic cases which are likely to arise in the practice of public health. This work discusses these issues on a case to case basis and helps create awareness and understanding of the ethics of public health care. The main audience for the casebook is public health practitioners, including front-line workers, field epidemiology trainers and trainees, managers, planners, and decision makers who have an interest in learning about how to integrate ethical analysis into their day to day public health practice. The casebook is also useful to schools of public health and public health students as well as to academic ethicists who can use the book to teach public health ethics and distinguish it from clinical and research ethics.

Book Synopsis Ethics in Public Health and Health Policy by : Daniel Strech
Download or read book Ethics in Public Health and Health Policy written by Daniel Strech and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-05-15 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ethical issues associated with public health and health policy--related, for example, to pandemic plans and vaccination policies (c.f. SARS or pandemic influenza), preventive measures like screening (e.g. for breast cancer or dementia) or health information campaigns, social inequalities or health care rationing--are increasing in worldwide importance. Evidence-based information for valid benefit-harm assessment is often rare and hard to get for participants in public health interventions. Program implementation often disregards requirements of fair decision-making processes (like public participation, transparency, etc.). Originating from an international conference (based on a call for abstracts and external review), this volume contains contributions from a group of experts from multiple disciplines and countries. It covers (i) conceptual foundations of public health ethics, (ii) methodological approaches and (iii) normative analyses of specific issues and cases. Bridging theoretical foundations with practical applications, this volume provides a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners and students concerned with public health practice and policy.
Download or read book Research Ethics written by Gary Comstock and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-01-03 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Education in the responsible conduct of research typically takes the form of online instructions about rules, regulations, and policies. Research Ethics takes a novel approach and emphasizes the art of philosophical decision-making. Part A introduces egoism and explains that it is in the individual's own interest to avoid misconduct, fabrication of data, plagiarism and bias. Part B explains contractualism and covers issues of authorship, peer review and responsible use of statistics. Part C introduces moral rights as the basis of informed consent, the use of humans in research, mentoring, intellectual property and conflicts of interests. Part D uses two-level utilitarianism to explore the possibilities and limits of the experimental use of animals, duties to the environment and future generations, and the social responsibilities of researchers. This book brings a fresh perspective to research ethics and will engage the moral imaginations of graduate students in all disciplines.
