Abstract:

Philosophical foundations of spirituality is a collective monograph that attempts to reveal the problem of spirituality from a philosophical and ideological point of view in close connection with the concepts of "spirit", "soul", "meaning of life", "values", and reflects the spiritual quest of humanity at different stages of society development. Focusing on secular ethical teachings, the authors understand spirituality as the fulfillment of universal moral norms, the constant improvement of a person's self. It is addressed to students, postgraduates, teachers of pedagogical, social, psychologi

Abstract:

Gandhi’s philosophical framework provides for a set of principles and a search for practices considered as principles in the making. This chapter explores Gandhi’s cardinal principles, which constitute the ethical ideal from which human values are derived. In discussing Gandhi’s dharma, we focus on the relativity and context-relatedness of values and the existential base of morality. We emphasize Gandhi’s relentless search for the appropriate moral act in a given situation. Our approach in this regard is somewhat at variance with that of those who see in Gandhi a fixed moral order. We locate G

Abstract:

The Rise of Animals and the Descent of Man illuminates compelling historical connections between a current fascination with animal life and the promotion of the moral status of non-human animals as ethical subjects deserving our attention and respect, and a deep interest in the animal as agent in eighteenth-century literate culture. It explores how writers, including well-known poets, important authors who mixed art and science, and largely forgotten writers of sermons and children’s stories all offered innovative alternatives to conventional narratives about the meaning of animals in early mo

Abstract:

This book examines how debates about children and their labor shaped the way Northerners and Southerners defined fundamental concepts of American life such as work, freedom, morality, and the market from the 1850s through the 1930s. Initially, Northerners and Southerners clashed over child labor in the context of the sectional crisis over slavery. For decades after the Civil War, debates about child labor bore the traces of this sectionalist conflict. Reformers, who eventually came to see child labor as the worst evil of the nation since slavery, mobilized politically in a national movement to

In Moral Hermeneutics and Technology: Making Moral Sense through Human-Technology-World Relations, Olya Kudina explores the role of technology in the way people arrive at their moral intuitions and choices and revise their moral commitments, a phenomenon she calls “moral hermeneutics.” This open access book considers technology as a mediator of human relations and questions the traditional anthropocentric view of morality. Drawing on the philosophical traditions of postphenomenology and pragmatism and empirical explorations from multiple case studies, Kudina shows how values co-evolve with the

This chapter primarily focuses on the contrast between the ‘blue-sky’ serene world of classical Confucian ethics and the vulnerability of the Confucian scholar in a power structure rooted in a conquering warrior absolute monarchy. It further provides an exhaustive and authoritative history of Confucianism within the history of China and thoroughly reinforces criticisms of Confucianism in contrast to the Dao. The chapter portrays how the concept of the Mandate of Heaven was always used by military conquerors to provide legitimacy for their use of force. As Confucianism became the official ideol

This chapter examines the source or “grounding” of ethical duties. Some believe that for professional ethics, the professional association (in the case of pharmacy in the United States, the American Pharmacists Association) is the source, but, at most, the professional group seems to be only the place where ethical duties of pharmacists are identified, and even that claim is controversial. Others claim the source is the orders of the physician or other prescriber of therapy, the hospital’s policy, the patient’s values, or religious or philosophical traditions.

The development of social policy in Europe is explored in this accessible intellectual history and analysis of the welfare state. From the Industrial Revolution onwards, the book identifies three important concepts behind efforts to address social concerns in Europe: social democracy, Christian democracy and liberalism. With guides to the political and ideological protagonists and the beliefs and values that lie behind reforms, it traces the progress and legacies of each of the three traditions. For academics and students across social policy and the political economy, this is an illuminating

The 2014 Ukrainian crisis has highlighted the pro-Russia stances of some European countries, such as Hungary and Greece, and of some European parties, mostly on the far-right of the political spectrum. They see themselves as victims of the EU “technocracy” and liberal moral values, and look for new allies to denounce the current “mainstream” and its austerity measures. These groups found new and unexpected allies in Russia. As seen from the Kremlin, those who denounce Brussels and its submission to U.S. interests are potential allies of a newly re-assertive Russia that sees itself as the torch

Abstract:

Morality from an evolutionary perspective is a code of conduct that regulates behavior within a group in order to promote social cohesion and stability. Both religion and secularism are grounded in the same moral psychology. How should the distinction between secular and religious ethics be assessed? Religious morality is a late-comer to the natural history of morality, reinforcing much of morality with a worldview about unnatural powers that humans’ brains are prone to projecting onto reality. However, the natural history of morality reveals that religious moral traditions do not originate mo

The discussion then explains why an ideological commitment to shared social values is considered pivotal in encouraging adherence to penal norms and influencing conduct.

From an evolutionary perspective, we are usually good with “us” and usually bad with “them,” whereby us and them are colloquial terms to indicate different degrees of genetic relatedness. With the evolution of complex social structures, genetic relatedness has progressively expanded to include ethnic bonds and common ideological and cultural values. The chapter then re

But at the same time Russia has branded itself as the world's preeminent antifascist power because of its sacrifices during the Second World War while it has also emphasized how opponents to the Soviet Union in Central and

Americans are far less likely to trust their institutions, and one another, than in decades past.

For politics itself is nothing more than a struggle for power between groups with irreconcilable aims. Contemporary American politics is war because political life as such is war.

The Wisdom of Ben Sira (Ecclesiasticus) contains the sayings of Ben Sira, arguably the last of Israel's wise men and its first scribe, whose world was defined and dominated by Greek ideas and ideals. This Hellenistic worldview challenged the adequacy of the religion passed down to Palestinian Jews of the second century B.C.E. by their ancestors. Ben Sira's training in both Judaic and Hellenistic literary traditions prepared him to meet this challenge. He vigorously opposed any compromise of Jewish values; and his teaching bolstered the faith and confidence of his people. Through its elegant po

The Function of Cynicism at the Present Time takes a more balanced view. Re-evaluating the role of cynicism in literature, cultural criticism, and philosophy from 1840 to the present, it treats cynic confrontationalism as a widely employed credibility check on the promotion of moral ide

The book’s main argument is that what people actually do should be central to ethical theory.

While Confucianism’s political ideal demands the cultivation of an independent and virtuous people, the constraints of reality encourage Confucians to adopt authoritarian hierarchy as the main sociopolitical order, which a
