Humane ideals were central to the image Athenians had of themselves and their city during the classical period. Tragic plays, which formed a part of civic education, often promoted pity and compassion. But it is less clear to what extent Athenians embraced such ideals in daily life. How were they expected to respond, emotionally and pragmatically, to the suffering of other people? Under what circumstances? At what risk to themselves? In this book, Rachel Hall Sternberg draws on evidence from Greek oratory and historiography of the fifth and fourth centuries BCE to study the moral universe of the ancient Athenians: how citizens may have treated one another in times of adversity, when and how they were expected to help. She develops case studies in five spheres of everyday life: home nursing, the ransom of captives, intervention in street crimes, the long-distance transport of sick and wounded soldiers, and slave torture. Her close reading of selected narratives suggests that Athenians embraced high standards for helping behavior--at least toward relatives, friends, and some fellow citizens. Meanwhile, a subtle discourse of moral obligation strengthened the bonds that held Athenian society together, encouraging individuals to bring their personal behavior into line with the ideals of the city-state.

The Genocide Convention explores the question of whether the law and genocide law in particular can prevent mass atrocities. The volume explains how genocide came to be accepted as a legal norm and analyzes the intent required for this categorization. The work also discusses individual suits against states for genocide and, finally, explores the utility of genocide as a legal concept.

Les récentes percées en biotechnologie ont soulevé plusieurs questions en éthique : transgénèse des animaux et des plantes, thérapie génique, clonage, création de cellules souches, création des chimères humain-animal, etc. On peut imaginer que, dans un avenir rapproché, on tente des modifications plus ambitieuses. Un homme doté de l'odorat du chien, d'une protection contre les radiations semblable à celle des bactéries, de la capacité d'hiberner comme l'ours. En supposant que les obstacles techniques soient un jour surmontés, l'homme disposerait alors de la maîtrise de son évolution et n'aurait de limite à son imagination que les garde-fous législatifs qu'il pourrait lui opposer. Il pourrait manipuler un embryon humain pour faire naître quelqu'un de beaucoup plus puissant. Ainsi, le futur sera-t-il peuplé de super-humains génétiquement modifiés ? L'Homme biotech est-il l'avenir de l'homme ? Il soulève dans l'esprit de certaines personnes un dilemme humain ou posthumain ? Pour d'autres, l'enjeu éthique se formule ainsi : peut-on transformer cet humain (ouverture post-humaniste) tout en sauvegardant la dignité humaine ? C'est pour susciter la réflexion sur la problématique éthique internationale " L'Homme biotech : humain ou posthumain ? " qu'un colloque interdisciplinaire et interuniversitaire s'est tenu lors du 73e congrès annuel de l'Association francophone pour le savoir (ACFAS), à l'Université du Québec à Chicoutimi en 2005. Le recueil reprend les textes rédigés à la suite des exposés et échanges par les conférenciers.
