Abstract

As each week beings more stories of doctors, lawyers and other professionals abusing their powers, while clients demand extra services as at a time of shrinking resources; it is imperative that all practising professionals have an understanding of professional ethics.In The Ground of Profesional Ethics, Daryl Koehn discusses the practical issues in depth, such as the level of service clients can justifiably expect from professionals, when service to a client may be legitimately terminated and circumstances in which client confidences can be broken. She argues that, while clien

Abstract

Terrorism, cyberbullying, child pornography, hate speech, cybercrime: along with unprecedented advancements in productivity and engagement, the Internet has ushered in a space for violent, hateful, and antisocial behavior. How do we, as individuals and as a society, protect against dangerous expressions online? Confronting the Internet's Dark Side is the first book on social responsibility on the Internet. It aims to strike a balance between the free speech principle and the responsibilities of the individual, corporation, state, and the international community. This book brings a global perspective to the analysis of some of the most troubling uses of the Internet. It urges net users, ISPs, and liberal democracies to weigh freedom and security, finding the golden mean between unlimited license and moral responsibility. This judgment is necessary to uphold the very liberal democratic values that gave rise to the Internet and that are threatened by an unbridled use of technology.

Abstract

In today’s world, the boundaries within which Christian theologians operate are becoming ever more permeable, and Christian theology is increasingly influenced and challenged by multiple “outside” factors. In Western Europe, two such factors stand out in particular: the so-called “turn to religion” in continental philosophy and religious diversity. Theologians working with contemporary continental philosophers and theologians engaging the multireligious world tend to work quite separately from one another. The aim of the present book is therefore to initiate a conversation between these two groups of theologians. The question of truth was chosen because it is both a key issue in contemporary-philosophical debates (in the continental and analytic traditions) and one that arises in complex and problematic ways in the praxis of, and theoretical reflection on, interreligious dialogue. Some of the pressing questions that are addressed by the contributors to this volume are: What is truth? What is theological truth? How does the issue of truth arise from interreligious encounter? To what extent can or should the nature of truth be discussed explicitly during interreligious dialogue? Or should the question of truth be rather postponed in the interest of successful interreligious encounter? Is there a hermeneutical concept of truth and, if so, how can it be of help for theological reflection on the question of truth and on the role and place of truth in the context of dialogue between religions?

Abstract

This book defends the controversial 'absolute view' of lying, which maintains that an assertion contrary to the speaker's mind is always wrong, regardless of the speaker's intentions. Whereas most people believe that a lie told for a good cause, such as protecting Jews from discovery by Nazis, is morally acceptable, Christopher Tollefsen argues that Christians should support the absolute view. He looks back to the writings of Augustine and Aquinas to illustrate that lying violates the basic human goods of integrity and sociality and severely compromises the values of religion and truth. He critiques the comparatively permissive views espoused by Cassian, Bonhoeffer, and Niebuhr and argues that lies often jeopardize the good causes for which they are told. Beyond framing a moral absolute against lying, this book explores the questions of to whom we owe the truth and when, and what steps we may take when we should not give it.

Abstract

Das Thema Laster im Mittelalter zeichnet sich durch seine Kontinuität über das gesamte Mittelalter aus und hat seine Wurzeln in der Spätantike und seine Nachwirkungen in der Neuzeit. Es berührt fast alle Bereiche mittelalterlicher Kultur und hat eine unerschöpfliche Literatur hervorgebracht. Der Sammelband beruht auf den Ergebnissen des Freiburger Kolloquiums 2006, das sich erstmals mit der langen Tradition der sieben Todsünden und den mittelalterlichen Lasterkatalogen befasste, und vereint die Beiträge namhafter Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler unterschiedlicher Fachrichtungen. Laster wurden im Mittelalter systematisch geordnet: Sie wurden in Hauptlaster eingeteilt, aus denen andere Laster hervorgingen, als Sünden verstanden und dienten darüber hinaus ganz allgemein der Beschreibung menschlicher Leidenschaften und Handlungen. Aus historischer, literaturwissenschaftlicher, theologischer, philosophischer, kunst- und rechtshistorischer Perspektive entwerfen die neun Beiträge in deutscher, englischer und französischer Sprache ein lebendiges Bild der Wünsche und Ängste des mittelalterlichen Menschen, aber auch des gesellschaftlichen Lebens im Mittelalter.
