Abstract:
African-American men revealed a unique type of generativity. It was rooted in their experiences as African-American men, including the foundation they received from family and their experiences of marginalization and racism in the wider world. They believed they had received a legacy from ancestors that was “a responsibility, a warning, and a promise to the five generations that follow them” (Black, Groce, & Harmon, 2011, p. 167). In this chapter we explore the contextual generativity that men disclose. That is, generativity that sprang from the unique circumstances of their lives as African Americans; their ability to be generative “despite the small container the larger world allowed them” (Harmon as cited in Black et al., 2011, p. 3).

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter introduces the foundational importance of human rights for global health, providing a theoretical basis for the edited volume by laying out the role of human rights under international law as a normative basis for public health. By addressing public health harms as human rights violations, international law has offered global standards by which to frame government responsibilities and evaluate health practices, providing legal accountability in global health policy. The authors trace the historical foundations for understanding the development of human rights and the role of human rights in protecting and promoting health since the end of World War II and the birth of the United Nations. Examining the development of human rights under international law, the authors introduce the right to health as an encompassing right to health care and underlying determinants of health, exploring this right alongside other “health-related human rights.”

Full text
Abstract:
The Oxford Handbook of Ethics and Economics provides a timely and thorough survey of the various ways ethics can, does, and should inform economic theory and practice. The first part of the book, Foundations, explores how the most prominent schools of moral philosophy relate to economics; asks how morals relevant to economic behavior may have evolved; and explains how various approaches to economics incorporate ethics into their work. The second part, Applications, looks at the ethics of commerce, finance, and markets; uncovers the moral dilemmas involved with making decisions regarding social welfare, risk, and harm to others; and explores how ethics is relevant to major topics within economics, such as health care and the environment. A concluding chapter turns the table, recommending some lessons that ethics can learn from economics. With esteemed contributors from economics and philosophy, The Oxford Handbook of Ethics and Economics is designed to be a resource for scholars in both disciplines (and related fields such as political science, sociology, and psychology) as well as “consumers” of economics, such as policymakers, journalists, and laypersons. It highlights the close relationship between ethics and economics in the past while also laying a foundation for further integration going forward.

Abstract:
This chapter examines the history of black visual arts in Chicago and highlights the distinctive influence of the Art Institute of Chicago, formed in 1879, in the emergence of a black visual artistic tradition. In the opening decades of the twentieth century, the Art Institute of Chicago was one of a handful of arts schools that admitted black Americans. Among the earliest black students to attend the school was figurative painter Lottie E. Wilson, who created the famous picture of Abraham Lincoln and Sojourner Truth that appeared on the cover of the NAACP's Crisis in August 1915. Meanwhile, William Edouard Scott attended the Art Institute from 1904 to 1907 and won acclaim from 1912 to 1914 in Paris. In 1927, Scott received the Harmon Foundation's gold medal for his work as a muralist.

Full text
Abstract:
Chapter 6 grapples with the problem of relatedness, which requires one to confront foundational questions in moral philosophy and their implications for forfeiture theory. The core issue is whether a wrongdoer forfeits her right against being harmed for any reason whatsoever (the unlimited-reasons approach), or only for reasons appropriately related to her wrongdoing (the limited-reasons approach). After rebutting the initial impression that the unlimited-reasons approach is wholly implausible, the chapter offers some reasons in defense of the conclusion that wrongdoers do not forfeit their rights against being harmed in general; more specifically, they forfeit their right against being punished, which (by definition) involves being intentionally stigmatized for one’s putative wrongdoing.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter sets out the normative foundations on which the book is based. It starts by defending the case for the ‘pervasiveness’ of morality: no social sphere is ‘beyond’ morality, even if there is some degree of institutional ‘division of labour’. Next, it states and explains the moral norms this study is based on: the norm to respect all individuals as moral equals, and norms about the avoidance of individual harm, and about avoiding contributing to collective harm. These norms lie within an ‘overlapping consensus’ of different moral theories and worldviews. In pluralist societies, we should focus on such a consensus—even if it may sometimes be hard to delineate—when reflecting on the moral dimensions of organizations.

Abstract:
This chapter presents the scope, rationale, and approach of the book. Unlike much previous research on rock, the book is focused on musical rather than sociocultural aspects; it is primarily theoretical (focused on general features of the style) rather than analytical (focused on understanding individual works), though it is argued that developing a stronger theoretical foundation for rock will benefit analysis. Rock is defined broadly, to include a wide range of late twentieth-century Anglo-American popular styles. The chapter addresses some potentially controversial aspects of the book, such as the idea of rock as a musical “language,” the use of concepts from common-practice theory, the use of music notation, and the focus on purely musical aspects of the rock style. The chapter also describes the corpus of harmonic analyses and melodic transcriptions that is used in the book.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter assesses the prospects and limits of human rights as ethical constructs and political mechanisms for protecting against forms of environmental harm that threaten human well-being. Advantages of a rights-based ethical framework include the linking of ethical norms of environmental protection or stewardship with international law and commitments to promoting humanitarian objectives, which provide those norms with an institutional foundation and help narrow the gap between environmental imperatives and those with global justice imperatives and development objectives. It considers the role of recognized human rights in efforts to better guard against anthropogenic environmental harm as well as specifically environmental rights that have been proposed for inclusion alongside them, and it finds rights to confer more political advantages through the social empowerment of right holders and linkage with rights-protecting institutions than philosophical ones in clarifying or motivating the obligations of individual or collective agents.

Abstract:
The theme of paradox has run throughout the book, albeit implicitly. This chapter makes the theme of paradox explicit, by drawing together multiple strands of argument contained in each of the preceding chapters. In recent years, paradox theory has developed into a particularly intriguing and highly influential body of management research. A paradox comprises two or more elements that are inherently contradictory, interrelated, simultaneous, and persistent. Having presented some foundational concepts from paradox theory, this chapter goes on to identify ten paradoxes of professional organizations. These are: (1) autonomy and control, (2) reluctance and ambition, (3) political and apolitical leadership, (4) individual and collective interests, (5) harmony and conflict, (6) insecurity and confidence, (7) commercial and professional priorities, (8) centralized power and distributed leadership, (9) active and passive leadership, and (10) ambiguity and clarity. This chapter concludes with some final reflections for those seeking answers to the questions that remain.

Full text
Abstract:
Clinical Psychopharmacology offers a comprehensive guide to clinical practice that explores the science and art of clinical research and its individualized application. Content is primarily based on clinical research and pharmacological studies, unlike most texts that rely on inferences from biological mechanisms. The text consists of 49 chapters, organized into 6 sections, focusing on disease-modifying versus symptomatic effects of available treatments, careful differential diagnosis including non-DSM diagnostic concepts, key clinical research studies, essential facts about the most common drugs, and more. Four appendices address key diagnostic controversies. This innovative book advocates a scientific and humanistic approach to practice and examines not only the benefits, but also the harms of psychotropic drugs. Providing a solid foundation of knowledge and a great deal of practical information, this book is a valuable resource for psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, medical students, trainees in psychiatry, pharmacists, and other mental health professionals.

Full text
Abstract:
Chapter 3 (Wounding) considers the wounds forsworn in the Oath. It focuses particularly upon the killing of one’s patient as the paradigmatic instance of wounding, while also considering sexual exploitation and violations of confidentiality. Chapter 3 argues on behalf of the Oath, especially for its contention (found in the oath-proper) that a physician electively killing a patient, even at the request of that patient, instances harm and injustice. It advances numerous reasons for regarding a doctor’s involvement in killing as a profound error that entirely disorients medicine as an exclusively therapeutic practice. Further, it argues for the Oath’s implicit claim that iatrogenic harm (especially in the form of role-conflation as instanced by Dr. Guillotin, whose example serves as a cautionary tale) amounts to the foundational medical-ethical problem the answer to which (found in the Oath) inaugurates medicine as a profession (in contrast to, e.g., conflicts of interest).

Full text
Abstract:
Risk and Social Theory in Environmental Management marks a timely contribution, given that environmental management is no longer just about protecting pristine ecosystems and endangered species from anthropogenic harm; it is about calculating and managing the risks to human communities of rapid environmental and technological change. Firstly, the book provides a solid foundation of the social theory underpinning the nature of risk, then presents a re-thinking of key concepts and methods in order to take more seriously the biophysical embeddedness of human society. Secondly, it presents a rich set of case studies from Australia and around the world, drawing on the latest applied research conducted by leading research institutions. In so doing, the book identifies the tensions that arise from decision-making over risk and uncertainty in a contested policy environment, and provides crucial insights for addressing on-ground problems in an integrated way.

Abstract:
India is an exception to many so-called rules in social science. This chapter considers why accounts of long-term economic growth, which assume that either institutional quality or geography is a foundational driver of change, are confounded by India. Attention is directed instead to consistency of economic policymaking, competition between provinces, and the stability of underlying political settlements. The chapter also considers why India’s growth success has been so much less efficient at reducing extreme income poverty than is the case in most East Asian countries. Poverty reduction in the east and centre-north of India has been undercut by persistent underinvestment in state capacity and public services. It has also been harmed by systems of political calculation that made investments in security and growth seemingly unnecessary for incumbent re-election. This is now changing in areas not under Maoist control, but the legacies of persistent social exclusion cast a long shadow.

Full text
Abstract:
Movements to end violence against women in the United States have brought the issues of rape, incest, wife-beating, and sexual harassment to public attention, given birth to community support systems for survivors, laid the foundation for research, and triggered significant cultural change. However, they have not been without their critics. After tracing the history of the battered women’s and the anti-rape movements, this chapter explores three areas of controversy surrounding both movements. The first is the charge that activists have abandoned their feminist political agendas and have become part of the social service mainstream. The second criticism is that the movements have excluded minority women and, as a result, have supported policies that do more harm than good. The third debate surrounds whether these movements have been co-opted by the state and are used more to regulate and control the poor and minorities than to challenge existing structures of power.

Abstract:
In this chapter, North American and international issues are reviewed covering the range of human rights issues, challenges, and controversies that exist in correctional mental health care. This chapter provides a brief overview of the key internationally recognized human rights that should inform the work of correctional mental health professionals. Human rights reflect a humanistic vision predicated on the foundation of human dignity, which complement the ethical principles of beneficence and non-maleficence. The human rights framework supports correctional mental health staff in their efforts to protect patients from harm and provide them the treatment they need. Human rights provide a universally acknowledged set of precepts that can be used during internal and external advocacy. Mental health professionals should not – consistent with their human rights and ethical obligations – acquiesce silently to conditions of confinement that harm prisoners and violate human rights. They are obligated not only to treat inmates with mental illness with independence and compassion, but to strive to change policies and practices that abuse inmates and violate their rights, even those that involve custodial decisions (e.g. segregation, use of force, restraints). In short, for practitioners who want improved policies and practices, human rights offers a powerful rationale and vision for a different kind of correctional mental health services. The more correctional mental health practitioners embrace and advocate for human rights, the greater the likelihood prisoners’ rights will be respected.

Abstract:
This book outlines the principles of neural science that mediate personality and describes what is currently known about how these biological processes are impaired in individuals with personality disorders. What sets this book apart from others is that it focuses particularly on the neurobiology of disturbed personality. Personality disorders have a high prevalence, and these disorders cause a substantial amount of human suffering and harm, not only to the individuals and families directly affected but also to the population at large. Second, these disorders are known to have a heritability rate that is generally in excess of 50%, strongly suggesting that the behavioral disturbances caused by personality disorders have a significant biomedical etiology. However, with the exception of borderline personality disorder, little is known about the biological nature of personality and personality disorders and the effective treatment of the latter. The principles of the basic biological nature medical disorders have served well as the foundation in other disciplines in medicine and psychiatry but have received relatively little attention in the areas of personality, temperament, and personality disorders.

Abstract:
This chapter examines the use of force from a feminist perspective and its prohibition in Article 2(4) of the UN Charter. Using structural bias feminism, it demonstrates how the gendering of international legal categories contributes to the harm and discrimination experienced by women worldwide. The chapter cites UN Security Council action in Libya in 2011 as an example of the normative and organizational exclusion of women and the justification of the use of force. It discusses the relationship between race and gender privilege in international law and argues that the Council’s resolutions on women, peace, and security, support, and legitimate use of force undermine feminist peace activism. It proposes a transformative approach to the foundations of international law that articulates the prohibition on the use of force as a useful first step for imagining the potential of humanity rather than justifying further force, further violence, or further destruction.
