Fort de l'expérience de toute une vie chargée de responsabilités, René Lenoir s'adresse aux hommes de ce temps souvent privés de repères : "Je ne crois pas possible de penser la cité mondiale du XXIe siècle à partir de considérations économiques. Nous avons tous besoin de nourriture, de vêtements et d'un toit. Nous avons tout autant besoin d'amour et de savoir qui nous sommes. A titre individuel d'abord, comme communauté ensuite. Impossible d'évoquer la cité sans une vision anthropologique : on ne construit pas comme une ruche une société de personnes libres." Evoquant sa connivence avec l'univers et toutes les formes de vie, dialoguant avec les scientifiques et les philosophes de ce siècle, rappelant les valeurs élaborées par l'homme culturel depuis qu'il a émergé de l'homme biologique, l'auteur adresse à ses contemporains un message tonique. Il se demande cependant si nous ne nous sommes pas trompés de progrès. Son analyse critique de l'évolution mondiale s'appuie sur une connaissance des peuples chez qui il a travaillé et des institutions internationales qu'il a fréquentées, ce qui donne à son analyse un caractère concret et vivant. Il rend ainsi son ambition et sa noblesse à une politique visant l'épanouissement de tous les hommes et du tout de l'homme

"Ethics is a vigorously contested field. There are many competing moral frameworks, and different views about how normative considerations should inform the art and craft of governmental policy making. What is not in dispute, however, is that ethics matters"-- "This edited volume brings together a selection of 12 papers that were originally delivered at a major conference - Ethical Foundations of Public Policy - in December 2009 in Wellington, New Zealand. The conference was co-hosted by the Institute of Policy Studies and the Philosophy Programme at Victoria University of Wellington, and the Centre for Theology and Public Issues at the University of Otago, and was sponsored by the School of Government Trust. The conference was very well attended with some 350 participants, of whom about 50 delivered papers. The purpose of the conference was to encourage and facilitate debate about the ethical basis for policy making. This includes, of course, the ethical principles that should inform our behaviour, whether as citizens, voters, policy analysts, or decision makers, as well as the normative considerations that should guide our choices over the substantive content of particular policies - whether fiscal policy, health policy, or foreign policy"--

What is health policy for? Alan Cribb addresses this question in a way that cuts across disciplinary boundaries. His core argument is that biomedical ethics should draw upon public health values and ethics. He argues that everybody has some share of responsibility for health, including a responsibility for promoting greater health equality.

Homicide has many social and psychological implications that vary from culture to culture and which change as people accept new ideas concerning guilt, responsibility, and the causes of crime. A study of attitudes toward homicide is therefore a method of examining social values in a specific setting. Homicide in American Fiction, 1798-1860 is the first book to contrast psychological assumptions of imaginative writers with certain social and intellectual currents in an attempt to integrate social attitudes toward such diverse subjects as human evil, moral responsibility, criminal insanity, social causes of crime, dueling, lynching, the "unwritten law" of a husband's revenge, and capital punishment. In addition to works of literary distinction by Cooper, Hawthorne, Irving, and Poe, among others, Davis considers a large body of cheap popular fiction generally ignored in previous studies of the literature of this period. This is an engrossing study of fiction as a reflection of and a commentary on social problems and as an influence shaping general beliefs and opinions.
