Abstract

The relationship between empathy and morality has long been debated. Adam Smith and David Hume famously argued that our tendency to feel with our fellow human beings played a foundational role in morality. And while recent decades have seen a resurgence of interest in the idea that empathy or sympathy is central to moral judgment and motivation, the view is nonetheless increasingly attacked. Empathy is so morally limited, some argue, that we should focus our attention elsewhere. Yet the importance of our capacities to feel with and for others is hard to deny. This collection is dedicated to the question of the importance of these capacities to morality. It brings together twelve original papers in philosophy, psychology, psychiatry, anthropology, and neuroscience to give a comprehensive overview of the issue and includes an extensive survey of empathy and empathy-related emotions. Some contributors argue that empathy is essential to core cases of moral judgments, others that empathic concern and moral considerations give rise to wholly distinct motives. Contributors look at such issues as the absence of empathy in psychopaths, the use of empathy training for rehabilitating violent offenders, and the presence of empathy in other primates. The volume is distinctive in focusing on the moral import of empathy and sympathy.

Abstract

Ethisch-moralische Kompetenz ist ein unverzichtbarer Bestandteil öffentlicher Bildung und als solcher auf eine Thematisierung im öffentlichen Erziehungssystem angewiesen. Ein international validiertes Testinstrument erlaubt es, ethisch-moralische Kompetenzen von Schülerinnen und Schülern am Ende der Sekundarstufe I sowie in der gymnasialen Oberstufe in den Teilkompetenzen ethisch-moralische Grundkenntnisse, Urteils- und Handlungsentwurfskompetenz zu messen. Ausführlich wird über pädagogische und bildungswissenschaftliche Grundlagen des Ansatzes, die Entwicklung von Testaufgaben, Pilotierungs- und Validierungsstudien und die Herausarbeitung von Anforderungsniveaus und Kompetenzstufen berichtet. Der Band präsentiert da- rüber hinaus Studien zur internen Schulevaluation und zur Internationalisierung des Ansatzes. Er wendet sich an Studierende sowie Lehrende des Faches Ethik oder vergleichbarer Fächer, an Fachdidaktiker für Philosophie und Ethik, an Forscher im moralisch-evaluativen Bereich, Schulbuchautoren, Landesinstitute und öffentliche Bildungsverwaltungen.

Abstract

This Special Publication will be an important tool for geoscientists, aimed at increasing the awareness of their societal role and responsibility in conducting education, research and practice activities. What are the responsibilities of a geoscientist ? And what motivations are needed to push geoscientists to practice the Earth sciences in an ethical way? The major environmental challenges affecting human communities require not only a strictly scientific and technical preparation by the geoscientists, but also a reflection on their broader obligations towards society. It is important that geoscientists consider geoethics as an indispensable framework on which to base their training and activity. The principles of geoethics can guide them to pursue the common good by weighing the benefits and costs of each choice, and identifying eco-friendly and society-friendly solutions that guarantee the respect of the right balance between human life and the dynamics of the Earth. Communication and dissemination of geosciences should become core activities in building a knowledge-based society, which is able better to protect itself and the Earth ecosystems in order to guarantee a life in harmony with our planet for future generations.--

Abstract

Litteraturen är en kritik. Den som skriver är inte nöjd med världen sådan den ser ut. På samma gång är litteraturen mer än en kritik. Den pekar mot det outsagda, bortom det redan definierade. Vad kan litteraturen göra i egenskap av kritik? Som plats för något nytt och annat? Vad kan den inte göra? Och hur kan läsaren ta ansvar för litteraturen som möjlighet?I dialog med tänkare som Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak och Emmanuel Levinas undersöker Elisabeth Hjorth läsning som en etisk praktik. Hon gör det genom prövande och dekonstruktiva läsningar av Jonas Hassen Khemiri, Annika Korpi, Daniel Sjölin och Sara Stridsberg. Förtvivlan är och bör enligt Hjorth vara utgångspunkten för denna etiska läsning. Förtvivlan förstådd som ett oförsonligt begär efter andra ordningar och världar. Att läsa blir då att jagas av ett ansvar, som av en ande eller ett spöke. Framtiden står på spel, eftersom läsaren förvaltar det etiska - det som vetter mot det kommande, det som återstår att förverkliga. Elisabeth Hjorth är författare och kritiker. Hennes senaste roman är "Vid himlens början" från 2013. Hon är verksam som lärare och forskare i litterär gestaltning på Konstfack. "Förtvivlade läsningar" är hennes doktorsavhandling i etik framlagd vid Uppsala universitet.

Abstract

"Contemporary discussions about the nature of leadership abound. But what constitutes a good leader? Are ethics and leadership even compatible? Accounts of leadership often lie at either end of an ethical spectrum: on one end are accounts that argue ethics are intrinsically linked to leadership; on the other are (Machiavellian) views that deny any such link -- intrinsic or extrinsic. Leadership appears to require a normative component of virtue; otherwise 'leadership' amounts to no more than mere power or influence. But are such accounts coherent and justifiable? Approaching a controversial topic, this series of essays tackles key questions from a range of philosophical perspectives, considering the nature of leadership separate from any formal office or role and how it shapes the world we live in."--Bloomsbury Publishing.
