Abstract

« De grands enjeux humains traversent la question de l’accès à l’aide médicale à mourir : l’instinct de survie, les réactions devant la mort inéluctable, la dignité et la liberté, le respect et la volonté de mourir, entre autres. Pour savoir comment s’incarnent ces questions, le journaliste et écrivain Normand Cazelais est allé à la rencontre de personnes œuvrant dans le milieu de la santé, de familles et de proches aidants, jusqu’à Véronique Hivon, dont l’action politique a fait avancer la cause et son cadre légal au Québec. Pour mieux comprendre, il a aussi questionné l’histoire, les religions et les croyances d’ici et d’ailleurs, la littérature, la justice et les lois, en quête d’amorces de réponses à partager, à préciser ensemble, en famille comme en société. »--Page 4 de la couverture.

Abstract

During the consolidation of the welfare state in the 1940s, and its reshaping in the 2010s, the boundaries between the state, voluntary action, the family and the market were called into question. This interdisciplinary book explores the impact of these 'transformational moments' on the role, position and contribution of voluntary action to social welfare. It considers how different narratives have been constructed, articulated and contested by public, political and voluntary sector actors, making comparisons within and across the 1940s and 2010s. With a unique analysis of recent and historical material, this important book illuminates contemporary debates about voluntary action and welfare.

Abstract

Publié en 1887, ce livre est un réquisitoire contre l'idéal qui prédomine alors en Angleterre : la course au profit. À l'opposé de l'économie politique bourgeoise qui détruit la fraternité, Carpenter propose un tout autre idéal : se dépouiller du superflu, se retrousser les manches pour répondre à ses besoins, tout en partageant avec son prochain. À la manière d'un Henry David Thoreau, l'écrivain-maraîcher s'appuie sur sa propre expérience de retour à la terre, sur sa sensibilité à la nature et sur les principes de la simplicité volontaire. Carpenter prône une société décentralisée, plus juste et égalitaire, qui offrirait liberté et épanouissement à tous. Car l'Homme n'est pas fait pour s'enfermer dans des villes fumantes, mais pour vivre au grand air et travailler avec ses mains. Voici l'une des leçons de ce magnifique traité de philosophie pratique.

Abstract

Are contemporary soldiers exploited by the state and society which they defend? More specifically, have America's professional service members disproportionately carried the moral weight of America's war-fighting decisions since the inception of the all-volunteer force post-Vietnam and since 9/11? In this volume, Michael J. Robillard and Bradley J. Strawser, who have both served in the military themselves, examine the notion of whether and how American soldiers have been exploited in this unique way, and in so doing offer an original normative theory of 'moral exploitation'--the notion that persons or groups can be wrongfully exploited by being made to shoulder an excessive amount of moral weight.
