Abstract

Huisarts Marc Schlosser heeft een medische fout begaan waardoor een van zijn patiënten, de beroemde acteur Ralph Meier, is overleden. Hij zal zich moeten verantwoorden voor de Medische Tuchtraad. Over die Tuchtraad maakt hij zich niet echt zorgen: `Een schorsing van een paar maanden, daar komt het op neer. We kennen elkaar allemaal, meer zal het niet worden. Maar is het wel een medische fout? Marc had immers een rekening te vereffenen met zijn patiënt, die net iets te veel belangstelling toonde voor diens mooie vrouw Caroline. Of heeft het alles te maken met de gebeurtenissen in het zomerhuis waar het echtpaar Meier het gezin Schlosser had uitgenodigd?

Abstract

Wij vroegen ons af of leerlingen dit wisten. Daarom zijn wij op onderzoek gegaan! Dit verslag toont aan welke kennis jongeren tussen 12 en 17 jaar hebben over ethiek. Weten jongeren van vandaag nog wat ethiek is? Tijdens de verschillende stageperioden hebben we een enquête afgenomen op drie verschillende scholen binnen 9 verschillende studierichtingen. Daaruit kwam een duidelijk besluit naar voren. (Bron: auteurs)

New Perspectives on Paternalism and Health Care

Abstract

This work sets the stage regarding debates about paternalism and health care for years to come. The anthology is organized around four parts: i) The concept of paternalism and theoretical issues regarding the idea of anti-paternalism, ii) strategies for justifying different forms of paternalism, iii) paternalism in psychiatry and psychotherapy, iv) paternalism and public health, and v) paternalism and reproductive medicine. Medical paternalism was arguably one of the main drivers of debates in medical ethics and has led to a wide acknowledgement of the value of patient autonomy. However, more recent developments in health care, such as the increasing significance of public health measures and the commercialization of medical services, have led to new social circumstances and hence to the need to rethink issues regarding paternalism. This work provides an invaluable source for many scholars and practitioners, since it deals in new and original ways with one of the main and oldest issue in health care ethics.

Abstract

This volume examines the distinctive and highly problematic ethical questions surrounding conflict archaeology. By bringing together sophisticated analyses and pertinent case studies from around the world it aims to address the problems facing archaeologists working in areas of violent conflict, past and present. Of all the contentious issues within archaeology and heritage, the study of conflict and work within conflict zones are undoubtedly the most highly charged and hotly debated, both within and outside the discipline. Ranging across the conflict zones of the world past and present, this book attempts to raise the level of these often fractious debates by locating them within ethical frameworks. The issues and debates in this book range across a range of ethical models, including deontological, teleological and virtue ethics. The chapters address real-world ethical conundrums that confront archaeologists in a diversity of countries, including Israel/Palestine, Iran, Uruguay, Argentina, Rwanda, Germany and Spain. They all have in common recent, traumatic experiences of war and dictatorship. The chapters provide carefully argued, thought-provoking analyses and examples that will be of real practical use to archaeologists in formulating and addressing ethical dilemmas in a confident and constructive manner.

Abstract

This book explores how one can bring about changes in the brain through meditation, both through attention-focus training and through compassion training. Recent findings in the natural sciences have confirmed that it is possible for humans to achieve these structural and functional changes through various life-style practices. It is argued that meditation enables us to influence some aspects of our biological make-up and, for example, could boost our cognitive flexibility as well as our ability to act compassionate. Such changes are likely to facilitate the instilling of a number of epistemic virtues which have great bearing on our quality of life. This book offers the reader an accessible introduction to a set of neuro-enhancement methods, with a special focus on meditation techniques, and explores how such practices could contribute to make us better decision-makers and improve our moral virtues. The book is suitable for anyone looking for a text discussing the effects of neuro-enhancement from a secular ethics perspective.

Abstract

Restoring the historicity and plurality of archaeological ethics is a task to which this book is devoted; its emphasis on praxis mends the historical condition of ethics. In doing so, it shows that nowadays a multicultural (sometimes also called “public”) ethic looms large in the discipline. By engaging communities “differently,” archaeology has explicitly adopted an ethical outlook, purportedly striving to overcome its colonial ontology and metaphysics. In this new scenario, respect for other historical systems/worldviews and social accountability appear to be prominent. Being ethical in archaeological terms in the multicultural context has become mandatory, so much that most professional, international and national archaeological associations have ethical principles as guiding forces behind their openness towards social sectors traditionally ignored or marginalized by their practices. This powerful new ethics—its newness is based, to a large extent, in that it is the first time that archaeological ethics is explicitly stated, as if it didn’t exist before—emanates from metropolitan centers, only to be adopted elsewhere. In this regard, it is worth probing the very nature of the dominant multicultural ethics in disciplinary practices because (a) it is at least suspicious that at the same time archaeology has tuned up with postmodern capitalist/market needs, and (b) the discipline (along with its ethical principles) is contested worldwide by grass-roots organizations and social movements. Can archaeology have socially committed ethical principles at the same time that it strengthens its relationship with the market and capitalism? Is this coincidence just merely haphazard or does it obey more structural rules? The papers in this book try to answer these two questions by examining praxis-based contexts in which archaeological ethics unfolds.

Abstract

Good Catholics tells the story of the remarkable individuals who have engaged in a nearly fifty-year struggle to assert the moral legitimacy of a pro-choice position in the Catholic Church, as well as the concurrent efforts of the Catholic hierarchy to suppress abortion dissent and to translate Catholic doctrine on sexuality into law. Miller recounts a dramatic but largely untold history of protest and persecution, which demonstrates the profound and surprising influence that the conflict over abortion in the Catholic Church has had not only on the church but also on the very fabric of US politics. Good Catholics addresses many of today's hot-button questions about the separation of church and state, including what concessions society should make in public policy to matters of religious doctrine, such as the Catholic ban on contraception. Good Catholics is a Gold Medalist (Women's Issues) in the 2015 IPPY awards, an award presented by the Independent Publishers Book Association to recognize excellence in independent book publishing.

Abstract

Westerse samenlevingen worden heden ten dage gekenmerkt door een verscheidenheid aan levensbeschouwingen, religies en spirituele stromingen. De vraag is hoe we met de hieruit voortkomende verschillen moeten omgaan. Zijn we in staat diversiteit als verrijking te zien en vruchtbaar te maken? Hoe kunnen mensen met elkaar worden verbonden op zoek naar het goede leven voor allen? Manuela Kalsky gaat, met behulp van belangrijke denkers en doeners, op zoek naar antwoorden op deze vragen, waardoor inspirerende vergezichten ontstaan. Daarbij passeren belangrijke maatschappelijke thema's de revue, zoals: immigratie, het nieuwe nationalisme, identiteitsverlies en de spirituele zoektocht van de individuele mens - de zogenaamde relishopper. Kalsky pleit voor een open omgang met verschillen, een op compassie gebaseerde spiritualiteit en het aangaan van nieuwe verbindingen als sleutel voor het realistisch idealisme van een nieuw wij.
