Gli undici saggi che compongono il volume costituiscono un omaggio che gli Autori hanno voluto tributare, in occasione del centocinquantenario della nascita, a Federico Patetta (Cairo Montenotte, 16.2.1867 – Alessandria, 28.10.1945), un maestro emblematico per la Storia del diritto italiano e, più in generale, per le discipline genericamente definite ‘umanistiche’, il quale ha illustrato con il proprio magistero l’Ateneo torinese nei primi decenni del secolo XX. Le tre parti in cui si articola il libro tentano di restituire un profilo complesso del personaggio che in certo qual modo rifletta la poliedricità di formazione, di interessi e di magistero che hanno contraddistinto lo studioso nel vivace e complesso panorama culturale della prima metà del Novecento. La costante attenzione all’indissolubile e imprescindibile legame tra ricerca e insegnamento universitario, la raffinata erudizione negli ambiti più eterogenei delle ‘scienze umane’, la costante vocazione di filologo e critico, esercitata su un prezioso e vasto patrimonio librario e manoscritto a noi tramandato, emergono – nei contributi qui raccolti – quali cifra e testamento spirituale di uno degli ultimi ‘umanisti’ della contemporaneità che parrebbe ancora aver molto da insegnare sull’urgenza e imprescindibilità del recupero della storia delle fonti, giuridiche ma anche letterarie, filosofiche, teologiche, tardo-antiche e altomedievali, per la sopravvivenza della preziosa eredità culturale e civile dell’Occidente.

This edited volume offers a comprehensive analysis of humanistic leadership, bringing together authors with experience working in different cultures to demonstrate that humanistic leadership exists everywhere and has enabled companies to sustain all over the world. There is a high volume of evidence that executive education has significant influence in the decisions of executives and upper managers in business, government and other institutions. However, in spite of the many different leadership theories in existence, there is a severe deficit of research and literature addressing the specific needs of organizations for integrating the human dimension. This book highlights different cultural case studies from around the world to demonstrate that humanistic leadership is the model that best enables employees to thrive and businesses to sustain. Part of the popular Humanism in Business series, this book will be of great interest to academics, students and practitioners of leadership and human resources. “People are realizing that leadership today requires more than just managing an organization well for the purpose of maximizing profit. In this important book, several authors explore the defining characteristics and behavior of what are becoming known as ‘humanistic leaders’. Humanistic Leadership in Different Cultures is a powerful and inspiring accompaniment to bodies of work about servant leadership and quantum leadership, and adds the dimension about how these are practiced in different cultures. I recommend it highly.” Danah Zohar, Author of The Quantum Leader and Zero Distance.

Medical ethics changed dramatically in the past 30 years because physicians and humanists actively engaged each other in discussions that sometimes led to confrontation and controversy, but usually have improved the quality of medical decision-making. Before then medical ethics had been isolated for almost two centuries from the larger philosophical, social, and religious controversies of the time. There was, however, an earlier period where leaders in medicine and in the humanities worked closely together and both fields were richer for it. This volume begins with the 18th century Scottish Enlightenment when professors of medicine such as John Gregory, Edward Percival, and the American, Benjamin Rush, were close friends of philosophers like David Hume, Adam Smith, and Thomas Reid. They continually exchanged views on matters of ethics with each other in print, at meetings of elite intellectual groups, and at the dinner table. Then something happened, physicians and humanists quit talking with each other. In searching for the causes of the collapse, this book identifies shifts in the social class of physicians, developments in medical science, and changes in the patterns of medical education. Only in the past three decades has the dialogue resumed as physicians turned to humanists for help just when humanists wanted their work to be relevant to real-life social problems. Again, the book asks why, finding answers in the shift from acute to chronic disease as the dominant pattern of illness, the social rights revolution of the 1960's, and the increasing dissonance between physician ethics and ethics outside medicine. The book tells the critical story of how the breakdown in communication between physicians and humanists occurred and how it was repaired when new developments in medicine together with a social revolution forced the leaders of these two fields to resume their dialogue.

What is the purpose of our economic system? What would a more life-serving economy look like? There are many books about business and society, yet very few of them question the primacy of GDP growth, profit maximization and individual utility maximization. Even developments with a humanistic touch like stakeholder participation, corporate social responsibility or corporate philanthropy serve the same goal: to foster long-term growth and profitability. Humanism in Business questions these assumptions and investigates the possibility of creating a human-centered, value-oriented society based on humanistic principles. An international team of academics and practitioners present philosophical, spiritual, economic, psychological and organizational arguments that show how humanism can be used to understand, and possibly transform, business at three different levels: the systems level, the organizational level and the individual level. This groundbreaking book will be of interest to academics, practitioners and policymakers concerned with business ethics and the relationship between business and society.
