The monograph deals with urgent problems of the ethics of human dignity on the basis of the views of human dignity in historical and philosophical thought, revealing the ethics of virtue and ethics of duty, leading to the search for the meaning and value of life. The study of human dignity as an ethical category and phenomenon in the context of individual and social ethics leads to the assertion that at the present stage of human existence in a rapidly changing world ethics, human dignity becomes the dominant consciousness, and is a special moral value.

Using unpublished documents, this volume restores the meeting between two masters in a historical and ideal way: Norberto Bobbio and Silvio Trentin. Through the writings which Bobbio dedicated to Trentin between 1954 and 1991, the readers are introduced to Trentin’s world. They gradually discover Trentin’s exemplary biography, his clear moral personality and his commitment to anti-fascism and the Resistance, as well as the great themes of his work as a jurist and political thinker: the criticism of fascism, federalism and the idea of the 'third way'.

Blair possessed very high levels from the outset that gradually declined in a more conventional pattern. Both benefited from electoral dominance and a divided opposition, Thatcher’s strength lay in her policy vision

In the most recent episode, 1988–2010, average growth rates have exceeded 3.5 per cent, with average growth rates of 7 per cent between 2001 and 2010. Yet this history of recent strong growth has failed to lead to structural transformation within the economy. This chapter highlights how each of the deals spaces remains closely embedded within, and informed by, the broader political settlement.

A Relational Moral Theory provides a new answer to the long-standing question of what all morally right actions might have in common as distinct from wrong ones, by drawing on neglected resources from the Global South and especially the African philosophical tradition.

Their dominant strategy was to promote sales growth without a close link to profitability among the public enterprises under their purview.

When A Theory of Justice was published in 1971, the discussion that ensued centered mainly on questions about distribution. More recently, however, many influential theorists have come to believe that this emphasis on distribution is neither faithful to Rawls’s thinking nor defensible on its own terms. They argue that what justice primarily demands is not that resources or welfare or opportunity be distributed in any particular way, but rather that relations of domination and subordination among persons be eliminated. In their view, what matters is not that goods be distributed equally (or in

Many children with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease have renal cysts on ultrasound, some are even being diagnosed antenatally, although the statistics on this are not well understood. Most are asymptomatic but hypertension may be more common than generally appreciated, and a minority of patients develop early renal failure. The cause of early presentations is probably often inheritance of a hypomorphic allele on another gene implicated in cyst formation, or in cilia. Extrarenal manifestations of polycystic kidney disease are very rare in childhood.

Augustine of Hippo, it is argued, shares more in common, on the topic of virginity testing, with the Rabbis of Babylonia than he does with other Church Fathers such as Cyprian and Ambrose.

Augustine, by contrast, utterly rejects gynecology as a means of establishing virginity.

Only some become pilgrims seeking a way back to the heavenly homeland, a return mediated by the incarnate Christ. Becoming a pilgrim begins with attraction to beauty. The return journey therefore involves formation, both moral and aesthetic, in loving rightly. This image has occasioned a lot of angst in ethical thought in the l

The problem is that many small states are ethnically, socially, and linguistically divided and stubbornly democratic.

Abstract:
This chapter traces the principal historiographical developments in the Arab world since 1945. It is divided into two major parts. The first part deals with the period extending from 1945 to 1970. During this period the discourse of either socialism or nationalism permeated most historical writings. The second part presents the various attempts made to decolonize, rewrite, or theorize history throughout the Arab world. The chapter then shows how in the various states of the Arabic world—some but not all of which have become fundamentalist Islamic regimes—Western models continued to be followed

With more than 250 figures, most of them original, the book develops, in addition to classical structural geology objects, the fundamentals of brittle fracturing of materials, plastic deformation of ice, quartz and olivine, and fabric acquisition in rocks and magmas.

Abstract:
This book examines a repertoire of homophonic vernacular partsongs composed around the turn of the seventeenth century, and considers how these partsongs exploit rhythm, meter, phrase structure, and form to craft harmonic trajectories. Giovanni Giacomo Gastoldi, Thomas Morley, Hans Leo Hassler, and their contemporaries engineered a particular kind of centricity that is distinctively tonal: they strategically deployed dominant harmonies at regular periodicities and in combination with poetic, phrase structural, and formal cues, thereby creating expectation for tonic harmonies.
