Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1959, this volume follows on from Dr. A. C. Ewing’s earlier work, The Definition of Good. The book does not apologize or undermine Ewing’s previous publication but after further consideration on the topic, it explores the issues that were arguably overlooked in the original book. For example, it looks at the possibility of intermediate positions which have been developed since the philosophers Moore and Ross did their main work. Ewing also responds to the criticisms that originated from The Definition of Good and suggests that Secondary Thoughts in Moral Philosophy makes his reading on the topic more balanced.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book on health care ethics argues that our reasoning should include second thoughts about our initial reaction to an ethical issue. "Second Thoughts" considers AMA and ANA ethical reasoning, US Supreme Court decisions, aid-in-dying laws, feminist ethics, East Asian and Islamic traditions, as well as Catholic teaching. Each chapter includes case studies and questions. One chapter examines decisions by the Trump administration that impact health care policies and implementation of the Affordable Care Act. Ethical reasoning reflects the values of our community, which make our reasoning persuasive. Reasoning may also "trigger new intuitions," which can alter our community's moral narrative. Our ethical challenge is to consider carefully both our emotional response and our reasoning. We pursue this quest by distinguishing three patterns of reasoning. First, we address ethical choices by identifying a person's duty or rights. At all levels of life our social and political institutions make rules to enforce this reasoning. In health care, for example, we assert that a person's human dignity entails a right to consent to medical treatment. And that this right as a patient means the physician has a duty to inform a patient properly to ensure the patient's informed consent. Second, we use reason to set goals about how we should act as persons and organizations. In health care, we affirm that caregivers should not only provide health care, but also should be caring as they provide health care. To be caring is not a specific action, but a way of being ethical when we take any action. We use this kind of reasoning to affirm that expressing empathy for each patient is good in itself, apart from any calculation of its measurable consequences. Third, we use reason to predict the likely consequences of taking an action. Caregivers weigh the likely benefits of treatment against the probable risks for the patient, in order to decide what is in the patient's best interests. When we reason by predicting consequences, however, we should have second thoughts about what we think we know and about what may be unknowable. Reasoning by setting goals and predicting consequences are both forward looking, but each way of reasoning has a different process for evaluating what is better or best. When we predict likely consequences to justify an action, we usually consider only the more obvious measurable outcomes. We should also recognize, however, that providing health care while having a caring state of mind will likely affect both patients and caregivers in ways we are unable to measure. Robert Traer teaches for the Dominican University of California. He has a JD in law and a PhD in world religious. His books include: "Doing environmental Ethics" (second edition), "Doing Ethics in a Diverse World" (with Harlan Stelmach), and "Faith in Human Rights: Support in Religious Traditions of a Global Struggle." He and his wife, Nancy, have been married fifty years and have five children, including two adopted from East Asia. They are blessed with ten grandchildren.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why should we avoid doing moral wrong? The inability of philosophy to answer this question in a compelling manner—along with the moral skepticism and ethical confusion that ensue—result, Stephen Darwall argues, from our failure to appreciate the essentially interpersonal character of moral obligation. After showing how attempts to vindicate morality have tended to change the subject—falling back on non-moral values or practical, first-person considerations—Darwall elaborates the interpersonal nature of moral obligations: their inherent link to our responsibilities to one another as members of the moral community. As Darwall defines it, the concept of moral obligation has an irreducibly second-person aspect; it presupposes our authority to make claims and demands on one another. And so too do many other central notions, including those of rights, the dignity of and respect for persons, and the very concept of person itself. The result is nothing less than a fundamental reorientation of moral theory that enables it at last to account for morality’s supreme authority—an account that Darwall carries from the realm of theory to the practical world of second-person attitudes, emotions, and actions.

Download or read book The Definition of Good (Routledge Revivals) written by Alfred C Ewing and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-04-03 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in Great Britain in 1948, this book examines the definition of goodness as being distinct from the question of What things are good? Although less immediately and obviously practical, Dr. Ewing argues that the former question is more fundamental since it raises the issue of whether ethics is explicable wholly in terms of something else, for example, human psychology. Ewing states in his preface that the definition of goodness needs to be confirmed before one decides on the place value is to occupy in our conception of reality or on the ultimate characteristics which make one action right and another wrong. This book discusses these issues.

Book excerpt: These ten new essays by leading contemporary philosophers constitute the first collective study of a group of British moral philosophers active between the 1870s and 1950s, including Henry Sidgwick, Hastings Rashdall, G.E. Moore, H.A. Prichard, W.D. Ross, and A.C. Ewing. The essays help recover the history of this neglected period: they treat it as a unity, draw out the connections between the thinkers, engage philosophically with their ideas, and in so doing show how much they can contribute to present-day philosophical debates

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Professor Mundle's authoritative and acclaimed critique of a way of thinking which still shapes the style of Anglo-Saxon philosophy is here presented in a revised text with a new postscript. Mundle shows how Austin, Ryle and Wittgenstein, among others, not only committed grammatical and logical errors akin to those they themselves detected in others, but misunderstood the relatoins between grammar and philosphy. Professor P.L. Heath contributes a new foreword, and Mundle himself answers his opponents in a subtly provocative manner." --

Download or read book Second Thoughts on Capitalism and the State written by Leslie Sklair and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2022-05-02 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays highlights the need for sociological and political analysis of actual alternatives to capitalism and the existing system of so-called nation states. It challenges the conventional idea that capitalism can be successfully reformed to meet the needs of most people in the world, confronting it with the existential threats posed by the perfect storm of climate change and the Anthropocene, hyper-urbanization, and the Coronavirus pandemic. Written over a period of 50 years, it charts the ways in which capitalism and socialism have evolved as global systems, their successes and failures, to the point that “it is easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism”. It offers ways forward, community by community.

Download or read book A Philosophy of Christian Morals for Today written by Robert Corkey and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-12-13 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Philosophers have been sharply divided in attempts to reconcile the validity of the moral distinctions essential to social well-being with the apparent ethical neutrality of the factual world. The failure to find an agreed solution to this problem produced the popular theory of Logical Empiricism, according to which ethical statements are meaningless. This and other kindred doctrines of ethical relativism that emerged in the first half of the twentieth century, are obviously fatal to the Christian belief that there is ‘down here below’ a recognisable Kingdom of God that men were born to serve. In this book, originally published in 1961, the author offer a complete analysis of the nature of ethical perception to show how the two factors in moral decisions – a sense of moral obligation, and recognisable objective ethical values – can both be brought into a single coherent system of truth. He isolates the unique and ultimate element common to all our ethical and moral concepts and presents a clear view that the basic values recognised in a reasonable humanistic morality are embraced in the wider ideals of Christian Love. The purpose is to present a coherent system of moral truth that will, in this scientific age, commend itself to thoughtful people without offending their intelligence.
