The Ethics of Need: Agency, Dignity, and Obligation here argues
for the philosophical importance of the notion of need and for an
ethical framework through which we can determine which needs have
moral significance. In the volume, Sarah Clark Miller synthesizes
insights from Kantian and feminist care ethics to establish that
our mutual and inevitable interdependence gives rise to a duty to
care for the needs of others. Further, she argues that we are
obligated not only to meet others? needs, but also to do so in a
manner that expresses "dignifying care," a concept that captures
how human interactions can grant or deny equal moral standing and
inclusion in a moral community. Specifically, she illuminates these
theoretical developments by examining two cases where urgent needs
require a caring and dignifying response: the needs of the elderly
and the needs of global strangers. Those working in the areas of
feminist theory, women's studies, aging studies, bioethics and
global studies should find this volume of interest.

This is an accessible exploration of the cult TV show "Lost",
looking particularly at its fascinating use of novels, plays,
stories, and other literary texts. From the moment that Watership
Down made its appearance on screen in season one, speculation about
"Lost"'s literary allusions has played an important role in the
larger discussion of the show. Fans and critics alike have noted
the many references, from biblical passages and children's stories
to science fiction and classic novels. "Literary Lost" teases out
the critical significance of these featured books, demonstrating
how literature has served to enhance the meaning of the show. It
provides a fuller understanding of "Lost" and reveals how
television can be used as a tool for stimulating a deeper interest
in literary texts. The first chapter features an exhaustive list of
'"Lost" books', including the show's predecessor texts. Subsequent
chapters are arranged thematically, covering topics from free will
and the nature of time to parenthood and group dynamics. From Lewis
Carroll's creations, which appear as recurring images and themes
throughout, to Slaughterhouse-Five's lessons on the nature of time,
"Literary Lost" will help readers unravel the show's novelistic
plot while celebrating its astonishing layers and nuances of text.
Since the RAND corporation study of more than three decades ago,
researchers have continued to demonstrate that a teacher's sense of
efficacy is one of few teacher characteristics related to student
achievement. So what helps to build teacher self-efficacy? In
recent years, researchers have established that experiences such as
student teaching are highly influential in the development of
teacher self-efficacy as well as the degree and type of support
that student teachers receive. Furthermore, establishing a strong
belief in one's abilities to perform teaching tasks during the
preservice teacher stage seems to have more of an impact than
waiting until after a teacher is already in the classroom. These
findings stress the important role and responsibility that teacher
preparation programs play in developing and securing high teacher
efficacy at a most influential time. Yet there are still many
unanswered questions regarding how teacher preparation programs
influence teacher self-efficacy. This book presents a timely study
which looks at teacher self-efficacy at the conclusion of teacher
training and tracks teachers into the classroom and to the end of
their first year of teaching.
Offering a holistic approach to television criticism, this
analytical companion to the popular show Fringe examines the
drama's mythology and unveils its mysteries while exposing
significant cultural issues addressed in each episode. With a
strong basis in science fiction, Fringe has all of the archetypal
characters and themes of the genre, from the covert mastermind and
the mad scientist to dangerous advances in technology, parallel
worlds, and man-made monsters. Along with many other post-9/11
television shows aired in the West, Fringe has demonstrated a
society's collective paranoia about foreign invaders, on the one
hand, and domestic corruption on the other. It also lays bare the
fear of radical advances in technology and urges its viewers to
ponder the ethical limitations of science. This guide explores how
the show uses these elements to tap into a deeper understanding of
the human experience. Less focused on individual episodes, this
book is split into three parts, each discussing a broad element of
the narrative experience of the first three seasons of this
multilayered show.
Until recently, philosophers have discussed evil primarily in
theodicial contexts in pondering why a perfect God does not abolish
evil. Evil, Political Violence, and Forgiveness: Essays in Honor of
Claudia Card reflects a burgeoning interest among philosophers in a
broader array of ethical and political questions concerning evils.
Written in tribute to Claudia Card whose distinguished academic
career has culminated in the development of a new theory of evil
this collection of new essays explores the concept of evil, the
multifaceted harms of brutal political violence, and the
appropriateness of forgiveness as an ethical response to evils.
Evil, Political Violence, and Forgiveness brings together an
international cohort of distinguished philosophers who mediate with
Card upon an array of twentieth-century atrocities and on the
nature of evil actions, persons, and institutions. Contributors
explore questions such as "What distinguishes evil from lesser
wrongdoing?" "Is culpable wrongdoing a necessary component of
evil?" "How are we to understand atrocious political violence?"
"What are the best moral and political responses to atrocities?"
"Are there moral obligations to forgive contrite perpetrators of
evils?" and "Can anyone claim moral innocence amid a climate of
evildoing?"
