What should happen when doctors and parents disagree about what would be best for a child? When should courts become involved? Should life support be stopped against parents' wishes? The case of Charlie Gard, reached global attention in 2017. It led to widespread debate about the ethics of disagreements between doctors and parents, about the place of the law in such disputes, and about the variation in approach between different parts of the world. In this book, medical ethicists Dominic Wilkinson and Julian Savulescu critically examine the ethical questions at the heart of disputes about medical treatment for children. They use the Gard case as a springboard to a wider discussion about the rights of parents, the harms of treatment, and the vital issue of limited resources. They discuss other prominent UK and international cases of disagreement and conflict. From opposite sides of the debate Wilkinson and Savulescu provocatively outline the strongest arguments in favour of and against treatment. They analyse some of the distinctive and challenging features of treatment disputes in the 21st century and argue that disagreement about controversial ethical questions is both inevitable and desirable. They outline a series of lessons from the Gard case and propose a radical new "dissensus" framework for future cases of disagreement.

Contemporary Western war is represented as enacting the West's ability and responsibility to help make the world a better place for others, in particular to protect them from oppression and serious human rights abuses. That is, war has become permissible again, indeed even required, as ethical war. At the same time, however, Western war kills and destroys. This creates a paradox : Western war risks killing those it proposes to protect. This book examines how we have responded to this dilemma and challenges the vision of ethical war itself, exploring how the commitment to ethics shapes the practice of war and indeed how practices come, in turn, to shape what is considered ethical in war. The book closely examines particular practices of warfare, such as targeting, the use of cultural knowledge, and ethics training for soldiers. What emerges is that instead of constraining violence, the commitment to ethics enables and enhances it. The book argues that the production of ethical war relies on an impossible but obscured separation between ethics and politics, that is, the problematic politics of ethics, and reflects on the need to make decisions at the limit of ethics.

Cet ouvrage de recherche est une réflexion sur les liens entre Comptabilités et Société. Il envisage la comptabilité, au sens large, comme mode de représentation et construction du Monde. La comptabilité est tout d'abord présentée comme étant le reflet du monde. Le monde et ses visions évoluant en permanence, la comptabilité a dû se mettre à jour mais certaines images qu'elle fournit demeurent incomplètes. Sont ensuite soulignées les capacités de la comptabilité à influencer le monde qui nous entoure ; le monde résulterait alors du pouvoir de la comptabilité. La comptabilité a en effet des capacités structurantes pour les organisations et pourrait même, sous certaines conditions, permettre de « changer le monde ». Cet ouvrage offre une réflexion sur la double relation qui unit la comptabilité et le monde aux enseignants-chercheurs, aux étudiants, aux professionnels comptables, aux directions d'entreprise mais également aux consultants en management qui sont confrontés aux mutations de la comptabilité face aux enjeux sociaux, environnementaux et technologiques de la société.

La transgression traverse et interroge toutes les époques et toutes les sociétés. Transgresser, c'est aller au-delà de limites juridiquement, politiquement et socialement établies ; c'est aussi s'aventurer hors du territoire dessiné par le code moral de chacun. Au-delà de cette définition sommaire, comment définir en toute rigueur, à partir de cas précis, ce que transgresser veut dire ? La question de savoir ce que la notion de transgression désigne et implique se pose de manière particulièrement aiguë en temps de guerre. D'où le parti d'aborder cette expérience de la transgression dans une perspective pluridisciplinaire à partir d'une observation sur le temps long, de la Grèce antique à l'expérience contemporaine de la guerre civile au Rwanda.
