Abstract

This book explores the impact of disintegrity on various aspects of governance, as the disregard of ecological conditions produce grave direct effects to human rights (to water or food) and, indirectly, also to human security in several ways. International legal regimes need to be reconsidered and perhaps re-interpreted, in order to correct these situations that affect the commons today. Some believe that our starting point should acknowledge the impact we already have on the natural world, and accept that we now live in the "anthropocene". Others think that the present emphasis on sustainable development needs to be re-defined. Finally, many believe that reconnecting with moral principles both in professional life and in governance in general represents a necessary first step.

Abstract

In this first decade of the 21st century, more than 854 million people in the world are starving, while industrial nations are debating about obesity, generating energy from food plants, and a myriad of other topics many African and south Asian nations could only fathom. In this great discord, there have arisen many interdisciplinary discussions about problems in the field of applied Ethics, with regards to food, that are crossing a considerably wide spectrum of disciplines, such as: obesity, traceability, agro-food biotechnology, dairy industry, transgenic plants, novel food, bio fuels, world-trade system, etc. This book presents international discussions and information concerning food ethics in its current state. It presents a variety of important aspects in the field of food ethics with respect to positions, instruments and applications of issues surrounding nutrition. A great deal of the book will concern itself with discussing different ethical positions and problems of current interests, as explained by experts of the "food-ethics-community". The articles will focus on the reality of global food problems through two main issues: current questions of nutrition in the specific contexts of field and experience, ethical tools, ideas and suggestions concerning long-term steps for solutions. The appendix presents a collection of current declarations and political statements – visions, proposals and goals in a worth living world in general and concerning specific problems - water, healthy food, the human right to food, sustainability and food sovereignty.

Abstract

Zivilisierte Gesellschaften haben stets auch den Verdacht genährt, dass die lichten Segnungen kulturellen Fortschritts eine düstere Kehrseite haben, die dem menschlichen Wohlbefinden mehr schadet als nützt. Dieser Band dokumentiert die Stimmen von Weisen aller Zeiten, die vor Verkünstelung, Hektik und Übermaß jeglicher Art warnen und das Hohelied der Einfachheit singen, das auch heute nichts von seiner zeitlosen Aktualität verloren hat. Ergänzt wird die Dokumentation dieser reichen Tradition durch drei Herausgeber-Essays, die diesen geistigen Schatz für die Gegenwart erschließen. Der Inhalt Primärtexte zur Askese des Leibes, Askese des Geistes und Askese im täglichen Miteinander Sekundärtexte (Herausgebertexte) zu ‚Askese als Jungbrunnen und Himmelsweg‘ (Mayer-Tasch), zur ‚Askese als Alltagshygiene‘ (Malunat) und zur asketischen Alternative ‚Reifen statt Wachsen‘ (Gottwald) Glossar (Autoren, Schulen und ‚Heilige Texte‘) Die Zielgruppen Philosophen und Psychologen Kultur- und Religionswissenschaftler Sozialwissenschaftler Medien Die Herausgeber Prof. Dr. Franz-Theo Gottwald ist Vorstand der Schweisfurth Stiftung München. Er forscht und lehrt zu ethischen Fragen an der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. Dr. Bernd M. Malunat wirkte als Akademischer Rat am Geschwister-Scholl-Institut für Politische Wissenschaft der Universität München und lebt heute als freier Autor in München und Südostasien. Prof. Dr. Peter Cornelius Mayer-Tasch ist Professor für Politikwissenschaft und Rechtstheorie an der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München und Altrektor der Hochschule für Politik München.
