First published in 1981, Education and the Individual presents a
reasoned case for maintaining the maximum freedom of choice in
education in those areas where the interests of the individual and
the state conflict. The book argues that ultimately the freedom to
opt out of the education system altogether must be protected, as
well as the freedom to choose a religious education in a secular
state, or a secular education in a religious state, and freedom
from political indoctrination. It analyses what is required of
education in a liberal society, and explores its implications for
the wider international context of human rights. It also promotes
the basic rights of freedom of choice in education and, wherever
conflict is inevitable, it argues for the issue to be settled in
favour of the individual, rather than the state. Education and the
Individual will appeal to those with an interest in the history of
education, the philosophy of education, and the relationship
between education and politics.
First published in 1982, Means and Ends in Education explores the
contrasts between approaches to teaching where teaching is simply a
means to some other end; approaches in which the end determines the
means; and approaches in which means and ends are integrated and
education serves an intrinsic purpose. The book considers the
concept of education and evaluates different processes and
techniques of teaching and learning. Divided into three parts, it
covers instrumentalist approaches, learner-oriented approaches, and
liberal approaches to education. It puts forward differing views as
to what the term ‘education’ means to different professions and
in different contexts, and how different approaches result in a
very different experience for the recipient. It also discusses the
extent to which an evaluation of methods of education and an
evaluation of the aims of education are linked. Means and Ends in
Education will appeal to those with an interest in the philosophy
of education.
In bringing the concepts and methods of philosophy to bear on
specific, pressing, practical concerns, applied philosophy is the
modern expression of a perennial concern: to understand, in part to
control, and to come to terms with the conditions in which human
life is to be lived. Originally published in 1991 and written by
distinguished philosophers and academics from Europe, the USA and
Australia, the essays collected in this volume examine subjects of
continued concern and debate, such as the environment, personal
relationships, terrorism and medicine. The contributions were
originally published in the Journal of Applied Philosophy.

This title was first published in 2003.Developments in genetic
science are opening up new possibilities for human beings;A both
the creationA and the shaping of human life are now possible in the
laboratory. As these techniques develop, questions are increasingly
asked about how far everything that is scientifically possible
should - morally, legally and socially - be pursued.A Whilst much
attention andA policy-making has focussed on the development of
regulation of technologies affecting human reproduction, regulation
where plants and animals are concerned is much more limited. In
this book, developments in genetics are addressed in the broad
sense by an international range of contributors.A This includesA
not only issues such as eugenics and the modification of the human
embryo, but also the genetic modification of plants and animals in
the pursuit of commerce, agriculture and biomedical research. A

Georges Enderle Before presenting some introductory remarks on the
topic of this volume I should like to outline briefly the context
from which this selection of articles originates. (It seems to me
necessary to emphasise these circumstances in order to make clearer
the contours of what is said and what is not said and to understand
it better. ) This context involves, flrstly, a general evaluation
of the state of the business ethics debate today and, secondly,
considerations of the question of what attitude and strategy should
be chosen in order to promote business ethics most effectively. On
the present state of affairs of the business ethics debate Today,
it is extremely difflcult, if not impossible, to gain even a rough
overview of the business ethics debate in the different countries
of Europe and North America. Many activities take place in informal
circles and on a local and regional level; linguistic and other
barriers impede the spread of information about them and, often,
they are not even labelled "business ethics." At the same time, so
many other things sail under the flag of "business ethics" that one
sometimes wonders if it should not be replaced by another flag, for
instance new methods of public-relations or better motivation of
company's employees. Yet, in spite of these difflculties in
deflning business ethics activities, one statement at least can be
made with certainty.
