Abstract:

Avec 171 millions d’habitants dont 91% de musulmans sunnites (2024), le Bangladesh est le quatrième pays le plus peuplé de musulmans au monde. Ce jeune État-nation a gagné son indépendance en 1971 à l’issue d’une guerre qui, en séparant les musulmans du Pakistan occidental et oriental, a remis en cause la logique identitaire religieuse de la partition de 1947. Depuis lors, le cas du Bangladesh continue de se caractér iser par un rapport ambivalent du politique au religieux, dans la mesure où y coexistent le sécularisme comme principe constitutionnel (depuis 1972) et l’islam comme religion d’Ét

Abstract:

This qualitative study explores the dynamic relationship between creative identity and entrepreneurial identity in musicians as they attempt to start up music-related ventures. It emerged from the need of the researcher to develop a research base for her practice as a creative enterprise educator. There is, therefore, a real world nature to the study as it focuses on the lived experience of emerging entrepreneurs. The research takes an interdisciplinary approach, drawing on identity and entrepreneurship theory to investigate the course of identity development and how this interplays with the n

Abstract:

A dual-process framework argues that both intuition and reflection interact to produce moral decisions. The present dissertation integrated moral identity and moral judgment to explain moral behavior from the dual-process model and its account was tested by three studies. A typical everyday moral behavior of interest in the present research was honest behavior. Participants were introduced to use their intuitive ability to predict the dice number demonstrated on a computer. The reward will base on their self-reported accuracy.

This thesis adopts a social constructionist epistemology and a narrative analysis research method to explore the moral identity work of senior managers in UK for-profit businesses. Analysis of thirty semi-structured interview transcripts was carried out using the Nvivo data analysis software package, guided by Gioia et al’s (2013) systematic approach to qualitative data analysis. The study identifies one overarching theme – that of the loneliness of seniority, which underpins the moral identity work of participants. Participants articulate the loneliness of seniority with recourse to three mai

Abstract:

The majority of people on Earth now live in cities, and estimates hold that 60 percent of the world’s cities have yet to be built. Now is the time for philosophers to develop a philosophy of the city to address the forthcoming issues that urbanization will bring. In this dissertation, I respond to this need for a philosophy of the city by developing a theory of city identity, developing some of the theory’s normative implications, illustrating the theory with a case study, and outlining the nature and future of philosophy of the city more generally. Indeed, this dissertation is only a part o

According to results from Aquino and Reed (study 5, 2002) and Hall and Derryberry (2010), high means and very low standard deviations of the average score for each question for both the internalization and symbolization scales of the Moral Identity Scale (MIS) are common. This study attempts to measure the extent to which a person considers morality to be a central part of his or her self-concept. Because participants may feel pressure to respond in a certain way on the MIS, the role of social desirability to respond favorably is very plausible. The current study, therefore, attempts to reduce

Abstract:

What is the conscience? In this thesis I argue that, contrary to received wisdom, the conscience is not simply the moral sense, or the capacity to make moral judgements. I argue that conscience cannot be analysed in terms of any individually necessary conditions. Conscience (or as it is sometimes called ‘conscientiousness’), is a cluster concept. It can be analysed in terms of three principles which do not necessitate some thought or act being conscientious but, rather, count in favour, of that thought or act being conscientious. The three principles of conscience are identity (‘conscientious

The contemporary view of identity in entrepreneurship accepts its dynamic nature and its multidimensional structure. Some scholars have illustrated how identity tensions may stimulate identity work in different settings, but they do not offer a satisfactory understanding of how multiple identities of an entrepreneur interact to promote identity work. One setting where identity work is prolific is in the initial stages of the venture when individuals have recently transitioned into entrepreneurship.

Abstract:

In recent decades moral identity has been examined as a possible explanatory construct for the question of what motivates moral behaviour. Moral identity is defined as the extent to which a person considers moral concerns to be central and important to their subjective sense of who they are. The developmental nature of this construct, however, remains poorly understood. In the present thesis, a critical review of the current developmental model is undertaken, and an alternative model is proposed, in which moral identity first emerges during middle childhood, not in early childhood and well bef

As substitute parents, the adolescents in the Zulu child-headed households are responsible for enhancing moral identity in their siblings while their own moral identity is still developing.

The concept of virtue is a vital one for many current debates within philosophy. In particular, both virtue ethics and virtue epistemology have come to be viewed as legitimate contenders within their respective domains. The task of virtue theory – of giving an account of the virtues – is therefore an especially pressing one. If we do not have a satisfactory account of the virtues, then we will be unable to evaluate those virtue-centric approaches that have come to be accepted as legitimate contenders within both ethics and epistemology.

This research sets out to examine how entrepreneurs experience and deal with ethical dilemmas. An entrepreneur is defined as a person who creates something of value and assumes the risk of establishing and managing a business around it. An ethical dilemma comes about when the entrepreneur must choose between alternatives and where the morally correct choice is unclear. This may be due to conflicting personal values or loyalties, tensions arising out of the realization that the moral action is not in line with his self-interest, cross-cultural conflict, or moral ambiguity.

Abstract:

Deep selves, in one way or another, feature significantly within our folk-psychology and play a particularly central role in our moral responsibility practices. Our intuitions about others’ deep selves explain an otherwise complex pattern of responsibility attribution, with agents being held responsible for behaviour that in some way reflects the contents of their deep selves and getting off the hook for behaviour that doesn’t. Philosophers who have addressed the deep self concept directly have typically done so on the assumption that the object of these intuitions is a real thing - a natural

An ethical understanding of responsibility should entail a richly qualitative comprehension of the links between embodied, unique individuals and their lived realities of behaviour.

Linking individuals with their behaviour based only on such understandings of ‘rational choice’ and abstract descriptions of behaviour overlooks the phenomenolog

Aristotle invented a theory of mimetic realism whereby the representation of types of character renders transparent the moral ideology operative in a culture.

It is further argued that the writings of Kierkegaard open up a way of relating freedom and the finite that offers the possibility of re-thinking gender.

Abstract:

Embryonic stem cell research has the potential to revolutionise both the practice of medicine and our understanding of the human body. Although the usual technical and financial limitations of research apply, perhaps the greatest obstacle to the progress of this research at the present time is the ethical concerns surrounding the destruction of early human embryos. The established debate over the ethical significance of the early embryo has thus taken on renewed importance. Within biology stem cell research has begun to overturn some long held assumptions about the roles of genes and cellula

The purpose of this study was to document, critically analyze and understand both my experiences as the supervisor of the support service workers (SSWs) and the experiences of the SSWs in the context of privatization at a care home. The conceptual framework for this study was developed using chiefly the literature on workplace alienation, identity development and moral leadership. Qualitative research methodology was used to collect data. One source of data was from my self-reflection on my own practice and a second source was from the SSWs through focus group and individual interviews. The pr
