We celebrate our restraint when we hold back from sending an email in anger. We put others’ needs ahead of our own and believe this makes us exemplary. Journalist and podcast host Elise Loehnen explains that these impulses – often lauded as distinctly feminine instincts – are actually ingrained in us by a culture that reaps the benefits, via an extraordinarily effective collection of social mores:  Lust. Gluttony. Greed. Sloth. Wrath. Envy. Pride.   These so-called ‘deadly sins’ have been used by the patriarchy to control women throughout our history. For instance, a fear of gluttony drives us to ignore our appetites and an aversion to greed prevents us from negotiating a better salary at work.    \u003cb\u003eSo, what would happen if we stopped trying to be ‘good’?\u003c\/b\u003e  Provocative and bold\u003ci\u003e, On Our Best Behaviour\u003c\/i\u003e is a probing analysis of history and contemporary culture that explains how women have internalised the patriarchy, and how they unwittingly reinforce it.

Some of the concerns are practical: philanthropic decisions, relations with one''s children and grandchildren, the purchase of annuities, and how to provide for care in old age.

Integrating key concepts from the field of applied ethics, and bioethics specifically, Lemma re-interprets them for use within a psychoanalytic framework, articulating how we can understand psychoanalytically the concepts of beneficence, non-maleficence, autonomy, justice, and veracity and deploy these to guide clinical work. Using clinical examples, the book outlines a working model for how therapists can reflect on their practice, as well as devoting a chapter on how to teach ethics within psychoanalytic psychotherapy trainings and outlining a detailed curriculum for teaching ethics. This book is essential reading for psychoanalytic practitioners as well as clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, psychotherapists, counsellors, and psychoanalysts who work in the psychoanalytic tradition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLemma's deeply reasoned and erudite advocacy for ethical self-discipline on the part of psychoanalysts eschews both stodgy moralizing and formulaic guidelines.

Lemma's approach is characterized by a gentle iconoclasm that challenges us to leave the comfort of normative narratives, societal or psychoanalytic, while listening to our patients. Her oeuvre is wide-ranging, writing style elegant, and arguments convincing. The result is a book of rare literary luminosity, theoretical soundness, and clinical significance. * Salman Akhtar, MD, Professor of Psychiatry, Jefferson Medical College; Training and Supervising Analyst, Psychoanalytic Center of Philadelphia *\u003cbr\u003eThis remarkable book manages to be sophisticated, deeply thoughtful, expressive, lively and practical at the same time. It offers an approach to ethics focused especially on psychoanalysis but applicable to all forms of psychotherapy and elsewhere too. Few authors have absorbed the challenge of the philosophy of ethics so completely and demonstrated so brilliantly not only that it is a vital element in regulating psychoanalysis but also that it has the capacity to guide and strengthen psychotherapeutic training and practice for the benefit of therapists and patients alike. * Professor Stephen Frosh, Department of Psychosocial Studies Birkbeck, University of London and author of Those Who Come After:Postmemory, Acknowledgement and Forgiveness. *\u003cbr\u003eThe most important skill in life is how to think ethically.

Particularly, for any scholar or student interested in Islamic studies, the book will be a valuable resource for comprehending the Qur'anic exegetical tradition with great nuance and intricacy. Inspired by Barbara Stowasser's work on women and gender, the author insists on two central themes: that hermeneutics has a vital role in the sustainability of Islamic knowledge, and the boundaries of the Tafsir genre continue to be malleable in both the pre-modern or modern period. * Mohammed Salih, Reading Religion *\u003cbr\u003eRather than add to the robust scholarly literature on women and gender in the Qur'an, Mubarak (Queens Univ. of Charlotte) begins her exploration of tafsir works by arguing for the significance of the exegetical tradition, past and present, for understanding Muslims' engagements with the Qur'an itself. She identifies a lacuna in feminist Muslim scholarship: for the most part, scholars have dismissed tafsir as patriarchal to rescue the Qur'an from that same charge. Mubarak offers readings of several 20th-century Muslim commentators in conversation with premodern tafsir scholars to argue that their views of women and gender norms are nuanced and provide openings for critiques of patriarchal perspectives as eternal and universal, thereby offering her own commentary on commentary. * Choice *\u003cbr\u003eJoining a vigorous and vibrant debate about patriarchy, hierarchy, and interpretive authority in Islamic texts and Muslim thought, Hadia Mubarak's new study offers detailed engagement with the work of prominent twentieth-century male exegetes. Scholars of jurisprudence and ethics have shown that those genres combine hierarchical gendered presuppositions with attention to women's concerns and needs; Mubarak argues that the Sunni tafsir tradition does the same and thereby offers resources to contemporary advocates of egalitarianism * Kecia Ali, author of Sexual Ethics and Islam: Feminist Reflections on Qur'an, Hadith, and Jurisprudence *\u003cbr\u003eIn Rebellious Wives, Neglectful Husbands, Hadia Mubarak provides a fresh, engaging and major study of the extent to which modern Quranic commentaries, responding to the impact of European colonialism and modernity, resulted in new and diverse orientations (Islamic modernism, Islamism, and neo-traditionalism) in modern interpretations of gender and the status and role of women in the Quran. * John L. Esposito, University Professor and Professor of Islamic Studies, Georgetown University *\u003cbr\u003eThis book is a fresh engagement with medieval and modern Qur'an interpretation on questions of gender and women's status. Hadia Mubarak's reassessment of modern tafsīr highlights the pluralism in the genre and shows how the interpreters have used the tradition to put forth their own new interpretations. Significantly, Mubarak raises the possibility that tradition can be used as a locus for modern reform. * Karen Bauer, author of Gender Hierarchy in the Qur'an: Medieval Interpretations, Modern Responses *\u003cbr\u003eThis book is about the intersection of modernity and Sunni exegetical thought...The book can be read from a number of perspectives. On one level it is a response to and an accusation of 'well meaning' Muslim feminists who do not engage with the Tafsir genre and yet are quick to discard it as monolithic, patriarchal, misogynist and bereft of women's voice...It is a call to Muslim feminists not to indulge in disciplinary confusion. If one wants to engage with the Qur'an, then one needs to do so within the methods of the field of Tafsir studies and not superimpose methods from other disciplines. The book is also about the interpretive powers of pre-modern exegetes to have a say in modern issues. * Mansur Ali, Cardiff University, UK, Muslim World Book Review *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments  Chapter 1: Ruptures and Continuities in Modern Islamic Thought  Chapter 2: Modern Approaches to Qur'anic Interpretation  Chapter 3: Reflecting the Colonial Gaze: Women in Modern Qur'anic Exegesis  Chapter 4: Sexually Neglectful Husbands: Classical and Modern Interpretations of Q. 4:128  Chapter 5: Rebellious Wives: Medieval and Modern Interpretations of Q. 4:34  Chapter 6: A New Rationalization for Polygyny: Medieval \u0026amp; Modern Interpretations of Q. 4:3  Chapter 7: Men's \"Degree:\" An Unconditional Privilege?

In other historical periods, such concerns may have marked reactions to book bans and burnings. Often, they followed prosecutions and subsequent jailtime for things spoken or written. During the Red Scare, they were the hushed response to chilling state-sponsored watch-lists and employer-supported blacklists designed to ensure victory against communism. Against this history, complaints about the new censorship appear differently. With respect to the new censorship, there are no books burnings, no prosecutions, no laws or committees. Indeed, there is no coercive state involvement at all. With a few notable exceptions, complaints about censorship in the 21st-century West are complaints about the behavior of private parties: social groups, employers, media conglomerates, social media platforms, and search engines.

Not only does this book offer wise and nuanced advice for policymakers, it will help you level up your own contribution to public discourse. Read it and become a better citizen. * Chris Freiman, William \u0026amp; Mary *\u003cbr\u003eIn this valuable new book, J. P. Messina examines choices made by private actors that shape the contemporary speech environment. He deftly illuminates the tensions between freedom of speech and other personal liberties, such as our right to disassociate from those who engage in problematic speech. Messina's argument against using the state to resolve these tensions must be taken seriously by those, from both the left and the right, who hope to remedy the many ills affecting civil discourse. * Linda Radzik, author of The Ethics of Social Punishment *\u003cbr\u003eAs concerns about censorship focus increasingly on private, non-governmental powers, Messina's Private Censorship is essential reading. Recognizing the potential dangers of both unfettered speech and speech restrictions alike, Messina encourages us to foster a culture that is conducive to free speech and democratic values while also protecting a diverse and independent private sphere.

Unfortunately, many of these assessments are poorly thought through. In Do Morals Matter?, Joseph S. Nye, Jr. provides a concise yet penetrating analysis of the role of ethics in US foreign policy since Franklin Delano Roosevelt''s presidency onward. Nye works through each presidency from FDR to Trump and scores their foreign policy on three ethical dimensions: their intentions, the means they used, and the consequences of their decisions. He also evaluates their leadership qualities, elaborating on which approaches work and which ones do not. Regardless of a president''s policy preference, Nye shows that each one was not fully constrained by the structure of the system and actually had choices. Since we so often apply moral reasoning to foreign policy, Nye suggests how to do it better. Most importantly, he shows that presidents need to factor in both the political context and the availability of resources when deciding how to implement an ethical policy-especially in a future international system that presents not only great power competition from China and Russia, but a host of additional transnational threats.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e...highly recommended... * Mehmet Akif Koç, Insight Turkey *\u003cbr\u003eAnalysing the ethics of US foreign policy under each presidential administration since 1945, Nye scores the policies of each presidency according to their intentions, the means they used and their consequences. He examines each president's leadership qualities and considers how US foreign policy might best address contemporary challenges such as great-power competi-tion and climate change. * Survival: Global Politics and Strategy *\u003cbr\u003eIn times like these, it is important to appreciate the role that moral reasoning should play in foreign policy. This is especially true in a democracy, where sustaining global involvement requires support from citizens. Joe Nye is one of our foremost and engaging analysts of American diplomacy, and in this book he provides a clear-eyed guide for reengaging our moral compass. * Walter Isaacson, Distinguished Fellow and Former CEO, Aspen Institute, and Professor of History, Tulane University *\u003cbr\u003eFrom the doyen of US foreign policy thinkers, a powerful warning against domestic populist politics, which not only narrow our moral vision but defeat US purposes around the world. * O.A. Westad, Yale University *\u003cbr\u003eWith characteristic insight and precision, Joseph Nye raises tough questions of how much ethics should shape a nation's foreign policy, provides a sweeping review of how past presidents have embraced or rejected ethical imperatives, and constructs a helpful scorecard for judging future presidents. This book takes on even greater significance as a growing number of nations-led by the U.S.-nakedly put self interest first. * David Gergen, CNN Senior Political Analyst, and Founding Director, Harvard Kennedy School Center for Public Leadership *\u003cbr\u003eIn Do Morals Matter? Joseph S. Nye argues persuasively that in foreign policy, good intentions must be accompanied by the use of appropriate means that generate beneficial consequences.

Keohane, Princeton University *\u003cbr\u003eA lucid, thoughtful and original examination of the role morality plays as American presidents shape their foreign policy.

Along with knowledge and skills, many are now emphasizing the importance of character. Yet, while there has been a robust movement to educate character among children and adolescents, much less attention has been given to the ethical formation of college and university students. What is the role of colleges and universities in educating the character of students? Should universities even attempt to cultivate virtue? If so, how can they do so effectively in a pluralistic context?  Cultivating Virtue in the University seeks to answer these questions by gathering diverse perspectives on character education within twenty-first century universities. With essays from some of the world''s leading scholars, this volume catalyzes a critical debate about the possibilities and limits of character education in the university while offering theoretical and practical perspectives on what such education could look like in increasingly global and intercultural institutions. By engaging insights from education, history, literature, philosophy, psychology, sociology, and theology, the volume encourages scholars and educators to embrace the opportunities and challenges of cultivating virtue in the university.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis volume is indispensable to anyone interested in making virtue central to a good education. * Good Read *\u003cbr\u003eThis book brings together a series of insightful chapters about the emerging topic of character education in the university ... by reuniting multiple perspectives from the fields of education, philosophy, and psychology, the authors contribute to a growing movement aimed to recover and reimagine character education in universities. * Jorge L.

Korsgaard presents a compelling new view of humans'' moral relationships to the other animals. She defends the claim that we are obligated to treat all sentient beings as what Kant called ends-in-themselves. Drawing on a theory of the good derived from Aristotle, she offers an explanation of why animals are the sorts of beings for whom things can be good or bad. She then turns to Kant''s argument for the value of humanity to show that rationality commits us to claiming the standing of ends-in-ourselves, in two senses. Kant argued that as autonomous beings, we claim to be ends-in-ourselves when we claim the standing to make laws for ourselves and each other. Korsgaard argues that as beings who have a good, we also claim to be ends-in-ourselves when we take the things that are good for us to be good absolutely and so worthy of pursuit. The first claim commits us to joining with other autonomous beings in relations of moral reciprocity. The second claim commits us to treating the good of every sentient creature as something of absolute importance. Korsgaard argues that human beings are not more important than the other animals, that our moral nature does not make us superior to the other animals, and that our unique capacities do not make us better off than the other animals. She criticizes the marginal cases argument and advances a new view of moral standing as attaching to the atemporal subjects of lives. She criticizes Kant''s own view that our duties to animals are indirect, and offers a non-utilitarian account of the relation between pleasure and the good. She also addresses a number of directly practical questions: whether we have the right to eat animals, experiment on them, make them work for us and fight in our wars, and keep them as pets; and how to understand the wrong that we do when we cause a species to go extinct.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e...this book contributes to a new era for animals, based on yet another firm moral foundation. * Nathan Nobis, society \u0026amp; animals *\u003cbr\u003ea clear statement by someone who has spent much of her life working on these themes, continually trying to strip away inessential details that might prevent us getting to the heart of the matter * Peter Godfrey-Smith, Aeon *\u003cbr\u003ean interesting, well-argued book.

Yet sometimes even the cynical and world-weary amongst us are taken aback. Sometimes we confront a crime so terrible, so horrendous, so deeply wrong, that we reach for the word ''evil''. The 9\/11 terrorist attacks were not merely wrong, but evil. A serial killer who tortures his victims is not merely a bad person. He is evil. And as the Holocaust showed us, we must remain vigilant against the threat of evil. But what exactly is evil? If we use the word ''evil'', are we buying into a naive Manichean worldview, in which two cosmic forces of good and evil are pitted against one another? Are we guilty of demonizing our enemies? How does ''evil'' go beyond what is merely bad or wrong? This Very Short Introduction explores the answers that philosophers have offered to these questions. Luke Russell discusses why some philosophers think that evil is a myth or a fantasy, while others think that evil is real, and is a concept which plays an important role in contemporary secular morality. Along the way he asks whether evil is always horrific and incomprehensible, or if it can be banal. Considering if there is a special psychological hallmark that sets the evildoers apart from the rest of us, Russell also engages with ongoing discussions over psychopathy and empathy, analysing the psychology behind evildoing.ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area.

When we see our cats gazing wistfully out the window, or watch a goldfish swim lazy circles in a bowl, we can t help but wonder: are we doing the right thing, keeping these independent beings locked up, subject to our control? Is keeping pets actually good for the pets themselves?  That s the question that animates Jessica Pierce s powerful Run, Spot, Run. A lover of pets herself (including, over the years, dogs, cats, fish, rats, hermit crabs, and more), Pierce understands the joys that pets bring us. But she also refuses to deny the ambiguous ethics at the heart of the relationship, and through a mix of personal stories, philosophical reflections, and scientifically informed analyses of animal behavior and natural history, she puts pet-keeping to the test.

Are there species one should never attempt to own?And are there ways that we can improve our pets lives, so that we can be confident that we are giving them as much as they give us?  Deeply empathetic, yet rigorous and unflinching in her thinking, Pierce has written a book that is sure to help any pet owner, unsettling assumptions but also giving them the knowledge to build deeper, better relationships with the animals with whom they ve chosen to share their lives.","brand":"The University of Chicago Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48732903145815,"sku":"9780226209890","price":21.85,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780226209890.jpg?v=1719998884"},{"product_id":"the-comfort-women-sexual-violence-and-postcolonial-memory-in-korea-and-japan-9780226767772","title":"The Comfort Women  Sexual Violence and","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn an era marked by atrocities perpetrated on a grand scale, the tragedy of the comfort women - mostly Korean women forced into prostitution by Japanese army - endures as one of the darkest events of World War II.

However, this neglects the fundamental property rights on which the market economy is based, an unfortunate implication of the utilitarian ethics at the heart of economics. Firms are held responsible for promoting societal welfare and penalized for failing to do so, even when their actions violate no recognized rights of consumers or competitors. This view of commerce sees firms as agents of the state rather than opportunities for individuals to pursue their interests in exchange with others. As White explains, competition or antitrust law serves as an example of how economics privileges welfare and efficiency over rights and justice, promoting the maximization of outcomes while ignoring the rights of those who generate them.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eAccessible and non-technical, this book assumes no previous knowledge of economics, philosophy, or law, and provides a fresh and thought-provoking perspective on antitrust and competition law that will challenge readers from all backgrounds and political stances to question the degree to which its wisdom is taken for granted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginal, well written, thought provoking . . . this is an important contribution to the ongoing debate on American antitrust law.

This book is for those coming to philosophy the way Socrates did—as the everyday activity of making sense out of life and how to live it—and for anyone who wants to know what he said about doing that better.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eThe Socratic Method\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  “Amid 21st-century rancor, a voice from ancient Athens offers an alternative: truth and a little humility....None should be discouraged from seeking out this remarkable book.

Building on the wisdom of Socrates, Farnsworth makes clear not only why Socratic discourse is essential, but also how to undertake such discourse in a positive and affirming manner. This is especially important today at a time of deep political polarization in which Americans increasingly speak only to people like themselves and hold those who disagree with them in disdain. This state of affairs, no doubt contributed to by the advent of social media, poses a serious threat to a well-functioning democracy. If we as a nation are to make it through these times and preserve the most fundamental premises of our democracy, we must all learn how to engage in Socratic discourse and embrace the principles of an open mind, rigorous questioning and honest debate.

Hine's art and advocacy on behalf of child laborers as part of the National Child Labor Committee (NCLC) between 1909 and 1917. A \"\"social photographer\"\" -- as he called himself -- Hine created images that documented children at work throughout New England, making the case for their exploitation in the North as he had for rural working children in the South. Hine staged his images, highlighting particular types of labor in specific places: the \"\"newsies\"\" in Connecticut cities; sardine canners in Eastport, Maine; cranberry pickers in Cape Cod bogs; industrial homeworkers in Boston and Providence; and cotton textile workers throughout the region. His association with the NCLC connected him to a network of local and national reformers, social workers, and child welfare professionals, a broad coalition he supported in their fight to end this unethical labor practice. Macieski also chronicles Hine's efforts to mount major exhibitions that would help move public opinion against child labor.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003cem\u003ePicturing Class\u003c\/em\u003e, Macieski explores the historical context of Hine's photographs and the social worlds of his subjects.

In telling the story of these photographs, their creation, and their reception, Macieski demonstrates how Hine worked to advance an unvarnished picture of a rapidly changing region and the young workers at the center of this important shift.","brand":"University of Massachusetts Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48867821289815,"sku":"9781625341846","price":25.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781625341846.jpg?v=1722285123"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/collections\/ethical-issues-topics-and-debates.oembed?page=14","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
