The Approach to Philosophy
In an essay on The Problem of Philosophy at the Present Time, Professor Edward Caird says that philosophy is not a first venture into a new field of thought, but the rethinking of a secular and religious consciousness which has been developed, in the main, independently of philosophy.[vii:A] If there be any inspiration and originality in this book, they are due to my great desire that philosophy should appear in its vital relations to more familiar experiences. If philosophy is, as is commonly assumed, appropriate to a phase in the development of every individual, it should grow out of interests to which he is already...

Essays Towards a Theory of Knowledge
Two years ago, in the preface to another essay, the present writer ventured to affirm that Civilisation moves rather towards a chaos than towards a cosmos. But he could not foretell that the descensus Averni would be so alarmingly rapid. When we find Science, which has done so much and promised so much for the happiness of mankind, devoting so large a proportion of its resources to the destruction of human life, we are prone to ask despairingly--Is this the end? If not; how are we to discover and assure for stricken Humanity the vision and the possession of a Better Land?...

Apology, Crito, and Phaedo of Socrates
Of all writers of speculative philosophy, both ancient and modern, there is probably no one who has attained so eminent a position as Plato. What Homer was to Epic poetry, what Cicero and Demosthenes were to oratory, and what Shakespeare was to the drama of England, Plato was to ancient philosophy, not unapproachable nor unapproached, but possessing an inexplicable but unquestioned supremacy.

Charmides
The Text which has been mostly followed in this Translation of Plato is the latest 8vo. edition of Stallbaum; the principal deviations are noted at the bottom of the page. I have to acknowledge many obligations to old friends and pupils. These are:--Mr. John Purves, Fellow of Balliol College, with whom I have revised about half of the entire Translation; the Rev. Professor Campbell, of St. Andrews, who has helped me in the revision of several parts of the work, especially of the Theaetetus, Sophist, and Politicus; Mr. Robinson Ellis, Fellow of Trinity College, and Mr. Alfred Robinson, Fellow of New College, who read with me...

Critias
The Critias is a fragment which breaks off in the middle of a sentence. It was designed to be the second part of a trilogy, which, like the other great Platonic trilogy of the Sophist, Statesman, Philosopher, was never completed. Timaeus had brought down the origin of the world to the creation of man, and the dawn of history was now to succeed the philosophy of nature. The Critias is also connected with the Republic. Plato, as he has already told us (Tim.), intended to represent the ideal state engaged in a patriotic conflict. This mythical conflict is prophetic or symbolical of the struggle of...

Crito
The Crito seems intended to exhibit the character of Socrates in one light only, not as the philosopher, fulfilling a divine mission and trusting in the will of heaven, but simply as the good citizen, who having been unjustly condemned is willing to give up his life in obedience to the laws of the state... The days of Socrates are drawing to a close; the fatal ship has been seen off Sunium, as he is informed by his aged friend and contemporary Crito, who visits him before the dawn has broken; he himself has been warned in a dream that on the third day he...

Cratylus
The Cratylus has always been a source of perplexity to the student of Plato. While in fancy and humour, and perfection of style and metaphysical originality, this dialogue may be ranked with the best of the Platonic writings, there has been an uncertainty about the motive of the piece, which interpreters have hitherto not succeeded in dispelling. We need not suppose that Plato used words in order to conceal his thoughts, or that he would have been unintelligible to an educated contemporary. In the Phaedrus and Euthydemus we also find a difficulty in determining the precise aim of the author. Plato wrote satires in the...

Gorgias
In several of the dialogues of Plato, doubts have arisen among his interpreters as to which of the various subjects discussed in them is the main thesis. The speakers have the freedom of conversation; no severe rules of art restrict them, and sometimes we are inclined to think, with one of the dramatis personae in the Theaetetus, that the digressions have the greater interest. Yet in the most irregular of the dialogues there is also a certain natural growth or unity; the beginning is not forgotten at the end, and numerous allusions and references are interspersed, which form the loose connecting links of the whole....

Routledge Studies in Ethics and Moral Theory
The main concern of this book is scepticism about moral responsibility. By “moral responsibility” I understand that property of human agents by virtue of which they truly and objectively deserve moral praise or blame for some of their actions. We are naturally non-sceptical about this property. Even philosophical sceptics tend to praise or blame people spontaneously for some of their actions, though they may try to recoil from these spontaneous reactions after reminding themselves of their own reflectively acquired scepticism....

NIETZSCHE'S ETHICAL THEORY
This book would not have been possible without the help of many people. They include Michael E. Zimmerman, John Glenn, Jr and Bruce Brower, who helped to shape the early version of this book, Michael McCully and especially Julie Rudd, for reading the final draft.

A Christian Response to the New Genetics
As our understanding of human genetics has increased at an explosive rate over the last half century, genetic knowledge has become more relevant to us and to those we love. In the 1990s and early 2000s, scientists mapped the human genome and began to understand the ways in which a variety of different genes function in human beings. Their initial goal was to gain information and insight into how the genes we are born with might affect our lives and the lives of our children.

Emotional Intelligence at Work
It is a matter of immense satisfaction for me that the first and second editions of the book were bestsellers. This has motivated me to bring the third revised and thoroughly refreshed edition before the readers. The concept of emotional intelligence or emotional quotient (EQ) has also gained popularity and acceptance over the years. How well do you connect with yourself and with others?

PROFESSIONALISM AND ETHICS IN TEACHING
This volume represents an attempt, to the best of my ability, to draw together a decade of enquiries into the meaning of professionalism, the relationship of educational theory and practice and the nature of moral enquiry into a reasonably coherent whole. Although all these topics have interested me throughout my professional educational life, the path to this book can be traced back to an attempt in the summer of 1990 to assemble a full-length exploration of the moral basis of teaching and educational practice....

Sport, Professionalism and Pain: Ethnographies of injury and risk
This book is an anthropological study of the impact of commercialism on the professionalisation of sports medicine. In particular, it examines how the embodied practice of sport in a professional environment places stress on elite sporting participants. These individuals have better medical provisions than were available to the competitors of yesteryear. But they come at a price. The book investigates the relationship between commercialism, medicine and the body, in order to establish the importance of pain, injury and risk in the contemporary sporting world....

PARTLY CLOUDY ETHICS IN WAR, ESPIONAGE, COVERT ACTION, AND INTERROGATION
I grew up in the great Pacific Northwest, more specifically the Puget Sound area, Tacoma to be precise. It rains frequently there, and even when it’s not raining, it’s often overcast. I didn’t find that nearly as depressing as some other residents do, especially those raised in sunnier climates, but I certainly looked forward to days when it was only partly cloudy, when blue sky, mountains, and sea were at least occasionally visible.

Employee Identity in Indian Call Centres: The Notion of Professionalism
This book presents an empirical inquiry, rooted in van Manen’s hermeneutic phenomenology, describing the work experiences of Indian call centre agents employed in international facing call centres located in Bangalore and Mumbai. Through a holistic thematic analysis, the study identifi es being professional as the core theme that captures the essence of agents’ lived experience. The notion of professionalism embraced agents’ identity, altering their self-concept and enhancing their self-esteem....

Just a Job? Communication, Ethics, and Professional Life
Sometimes a word is worth a thousand words. Or an entire book. “Ethics” is one of those words, with no shortage of book-length treatments. The idea for a communication-centered investigation of ethics and its relationship to professional life arose during the opening session of George’s ethics class in the spring of 2003. Although the students weren’t terribly excited by the idea of ethics, they became much more animated when the discussion shifted to the term “morality.”

A Responsible Europe? Ethical Foundations of EU External Affairs
This book reviews the external affairs of the European Union (EU) from a very distinct perspective. Different from existing literature on the EU’s international role, we seek to find moral and ethical arguments and justifications on which the Union ought to base its global policies. We ask, in other words, what ethical foundations might there be for developing a larger role for the EU in regional politics and global governance or, conversely, what moral factors could potentially limit the scope of the EU’s external ambitions?...

Ethics for Behavior Analysts
My first experience in ethics came when I was a graduate student in psychology in the late 1960s. I was working with a profoundly developmentally disabled young man who was confined to a heavy metal crib in the small ward of a private institution in Phoenix, Arizona. Blind, deaf, nonambulatory, and not toilet trained, my “subject” engaged in self-injurious behavior virtually all day long.

HUMAN RIGHTS and RESPONSIBILITIES in the world religions
Religions have too often been used to justify the violation of human rights, in part through the hierarchical and selective use of role ethics and the postponement of temporal justice to divine judgment or future karmic consequences. Yet the world religions have also provided a constant voice of critique against the violation of human rights by calling for equality, and universal compassion and love, calls which reach far beyond the mere protection of human rights. The essays in this volume offer a diversity of perspectives from the world religions and multiple dimensions of the view that religion can – and indeed must – play an important role in promoting...

The ethics of bankruptcy
This book grew out of the experiences of the late 1980s and early 1990s. The economic downturn and high interest rates scattered financial distress around the world. Many private individuals and corporations faced the grim reality of insolvency. The plague did not distinguish between race, religion or nationality. However, the social response to the malaise did. In many countries the illness was diagnosed as terminal.

DICTIONARY OF ETHICAL AND LEGAL TERMS AND ISSUES
The professional practice of counseling and mental health has become overly complex and litigious. Public outcry over recent corporate and government scandals has led to a proliferation of litigation and has fueled calls for increased ethics training and accountability for management professionals. Not surprisingly, scrutiny of ethical practice has extended beyond business and government to all professional sectors, including the mental health profession.

Dermatoethics Contemporary Ethics and Professionalism in Dermatology
What would you do if a dermatopathology laboratory offered to pay 85% of the cost of an expensive electronic health record system for your practice? What if a patient asked you to accept an invitation to become a Facebook friend? What would you do if you saw a lesion you suspected might be melanoma on the back of a stranger getting dressed two lockers over at the gym? And, what would you do if one of your associates began to exhibit early signs of dementia?

The Ethics and Politics of Asylum
Over the last twenty years, asylum has become one of the central issues in the politics of liberal democratic states. In 1993 the German Parliament embarked upon the politically onerous task of amending the country’s constitution, the Basic Law, in order to slow the arrival of asylum seekers on to state territory. One year later, the Clinton Administration in the US, faced with criticism over its policy of summarily interdicting asylum seekers on boats heading for Florida, launched a military intervention into the island nation of Haiti, largely to restore a regime less likely to produce refugees....

ETHICS AND THE UNIVERSITY
.ETHICS AND THE UNIVERSITY Ethics and the University brings together two closely related topics, the practice of ethics in the university (“academic ethics”) and the teaching of practical or applied ethics in the university. The volume is divided into four parts: • a survey of practical ethics, offering an explanation of its recent emergence as a university subject, situating that subject within a wider social and historical context and identifying some problems that the subject generates for universities; • an examination of research ethics, including the problem of plagiarism; • a discussion of the teaching of practical ethics. Michael Davis explores...

ETHICS in FORENSIC SCIENCE Professional Standards for the Practice of Criminalistics
At first it may seem odd to find a book about ethics in forensic science included in a series entitled Protocols in Forensic Science . However, we find it entirely appropriate because the generation of data and the use to which that data is put fall under the general rubric of good professional practice. In the introductory volume of this series, Principles and Practice of Criminalistics: The Profession of Forensic Science , we provided a general introduction to the topic of ethics and accountability. In Ethics in Forensic Science: Professional Standards for the Practice of Criminalistics , Peter D. Barnett, a pioneer in this facet of the forensic profession, expands on these ideas and puts...

Confronting Evil in International Relations
Evil is a reality in the world of international politics. Human affairs are all too frequently marked by atrocities of the most heinous nature, acts readily described as “evil” in international political thought and rhetoric. In particular, in the last decade of the twentieth century and early years of the twenty-first, the world witnessed a wave of humanitarian atrocities noted for their grotesque nature and magnitude.

Ethical issues in social work
Applied Ethics is now acknowledged as a field of study in its own right. Much of its recent development has resulted from rethinking traditional medical ethics in the light of new moral problems arising out of advances in medical science and technology. Applied philosophers, ethicists and lawyers have devoted considerable energy to exploring the dilemmas emerging from modern health care practices and their effects on the practitioner–patient relationship.
