Abstract:

Recent developments in social neuroscience have stirred up increased interest within the bioethical debate (for a review see: Specker et al. 2014). Moral enhancement is a concept that directly embodies the idea of making brain science work for the social and moral good. In recent ethical discussions about biomedical means of moral enhancement, scholars have focused on so called ‘direct means of moral enhancement,’ discussing the ethical permissibility of modifying the emotional underpinnings of moral behaviour (Douglas, 2008; 2013; Persson and Savulescu, 2008; Savulescu and Persson, 2012).

Abstract:

In acknowledging past abuses of humans in research contexts, and recognising the potential for malpractices in Human Movement Studies (HMS), this study evaluated the extent to which ethical issues are addressed in the discipline. The primary method consisted of the standard techniques of philosophic analysis, with empirical data complementing the conclusions. In general, the study contends that insufficient attention is paid to ethical issues in HMS research. In response to a set of specifically constructed, ethically problematic research proposals, only 1.8% of comments from senior researcher

Abstract:

This thesis aims to elucidate an apparent paradox about the role of emotion in moral agency. A number of lines of concern suggest emotion may have serious negative impact on moral agency. On the other hand, there are considerations that suggest emotion also plays a crucial role in motivating, informing and even constituting moral agency. Significantly, there is a strong connection between participant reactive attitudes and ascription of moral status as agent or subject. Nonemotional agents could not hold such attitudes. Also, removing participant reactive attitudes imposes a peculiar and incoh

Digital piracy, the illegal copying or downloading of copyrighted digital products without approval from the copyright holders, has brought great economic loss to the software and digital media industries.

The development of predictive biomarkers in neuroscience is increasingly enabling bioprediction of adverse behavioural events, from psychosis to impulsive violent reaction. Because many brain-based disorders can be thought of as end-states of a long development, bioprediction carries immense therapeutic potential.

I argue that ethical analysis of probabilities and risk information bioprediction provides is confounded by philosophical and social structures that have, until recently, functioned n

Abstract:

My broadest aim in this thesis is to explore some of the central ethical concerns of social anthropologists vis-a-vis the phenomena of development. In particular, what I want to bring out and examine is the dynamics of the 'moral experience' and 'moral force' of anthropologists in this area. I go about this by considering the historical unfolding of the anthropological conceptual and evaluative apprehension of planned social and economic change. On this basis, I also consider the nature of the critiques and contributions that social anthropology has generated. I also make an attempt to review

Abstract:

Ecofeminism perceives an interconnection between the domination of women and poor people, and the domination of nature. This domination is founded on modern, Western, patriarchal, dualised structures, which subordinate all considered as "the other" compared to the superior masculine archetype. Hence, all feminine is seen as inferior and may therefore be exploited. This is presently manifested in the neo-liberal economic development ideal. Its global penetration generates huge economic profits, which are reaped by Northern and Southern elites, while its devastating crises of poverty, violen

碩士<br>國立東華大學<br>國際企業學系<br>99<br>Information plays a key role in achieving successful negotiations. To seek the success of negotiations, information unethical tactics are usually employed by negotiators for obtaining the information. Seen in this way, the unethical behaviors in negotiations are indeed a reflex of the using of information unethical tactics, since it will lead to a moral dilemma of negotiators and may further influence their ethical decision-making. In this study, following Lewicki and Robinson’s (1998) five information unethical tactics and Jones’ (1991) theoretical model to the

Abstract:

O presente estudo foca-se no julgamento ético das práticas eticamente dúbias no estabelecimento de objetivos, na medida em que as características individuais influenciam a aceitabilidade das práticas antiéticas. Com base num estudo empírico, testou-se em que medida a identidade moral, o descomprometimento moral e o maquiavelismo influenciam a aceitabilidade de práticas eticamente dúbias no estabelecimento de objetivos e, como segunda hipótese, em de que forma a liderança ética pode moderar esta influência. Os resultados obtidos não corroboram a segunda hipótese corroboram parcialmente a prime

It was Jesus of Nazareth who declared that he was sent from above to bring about reconciliation between God and mankind.
