A substantially new account of obligation, inspired by major thinkers in the Continental traditionBryan Lueck offers a substantially new solution to a classic philosophical problem: how is it possible that morality genuinely obligates us, binding us without regard to our perceived or actual well-being? Staging a fruitful dialogue between the analytic and Continental philosophical traditions, while reflecting specifically on the work of Hegel, Merleau-Ponty, Serres and Nancy, Lueck offers a creative new approach. Building on Immanuel Kant’s fact of reason – the idea that being a moral subject presupposes that one has accepted the bindingness of obligation – Lueck shows that moral obligation must be rethought as the fact of sense.Key FeaturesPresents a substantially new approach to the classic philosophical problem of the source of normativity Provides a detailed account of the history of western philosophical reflection on obligation Develops the ethical implications of the work of 20th century and contemporary Continental philosophers who are not typically regarded as moral philosophers Suggests new and fruitful paths of research on the work of Merleau-Ponty, Serres and Nancy"

Sharing without Reckoning is the first full-scale treatment of the ancient and persistent distinction between ""perfect"" and ""imperfect"" rights and duties. It examines the use of the distinction in jurisprudential, philosophical and religious material from Classical times until the present; proposes a connection between imperfect right and the ""norms of reciprocity"" (as that complex set of ideas has been developed in anthropology and sociology); and argues that contemporary understanding of the nature of morality and of moral reasoning would be well served by the reintroduction

Serving on a jury is a powerful experience. The Jury and Democracy is a ground-breaking study that shows how the process of deliberating and reaching a verdict transforms the lives of ordinary citizens. People who serve on juries are more active in civic life and vote more, and the authors examine a number of reasons why this is so. In an era when involved Americans are searching for ways to inspire their fellow citizenry, this book offers a plausible and realistic path for turning passive spectators into active political participants.

Published in 1785, the Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals is one of the most powerful texts in the history of ethical thought. In this book, Immanuel Kant formulates and justifies a supreme principle of morality that issues universal and unconditional moral commands. These commands receive their normative force from the fact that rational agents autonomously impose the moral law upon themselves. As such, they are laws of freedom. This volume contains the first facing-page German-English edition of Kant's Groundwork. It presents an authentic edition of the German text and a carefully revised version of Mary Gregor's acclaimed English translation, as well as editorial notes and a full bilingual index. It will be the edition of choice for any student or scholar who is not content with reading this central contribution to modern moral philosophy through the veil of English translation.

La recherche scientifique est confrontée dans son activité même à des questions éthiques (fraudes, possibles conflits d’intérêts entre l’activité scientifique et des partenaires commerciaux, etc.). Elle rencontre aussi des questions éthiques dès lors qu’elle s’applique à des êtres humains et est alors susceptible d’entraîner des conséquences sur leur liberté ou leur sécurité. Ce n’est pas seulement la recherche biomédicale qui est ici concernée, mais toute activité de recherche dont les conséquences sont susceptibles d’affecter soit des individus, soit des populations, ce qui est le cas en psychologie et en sociologie et dans toute recherche impliquant l’utilisation de données personnelles.
