In relation to the problems faced today, in contemplation and in
practical affairs, philosophers must confront the question 'What is
knowledge?', and consider whether knowledge has lost its object.
Such was the problem placed before the seminar convened by the
Philosophical Society of Turkey at Ankara in 1989. The 17 papers
derived from the lectures and discussions deal with problems of
knowing and believing, of the kinds and criteria of knowledge, of
truth and fallibility, and of the cultural as well as individual
factors in cognition. The authors include Guido Kung, L. Jonathan
Cohen, Ernest Sosa, Arda Denkel, Venant Cauchy, David Evans, Gurol
Irzik, Ioanna Kucuradi, Evandro Agazzi, Richard T. DeGeorge, Kwasi
Wiredu, Teo Grunberg, H. Odera Oruka, Jindrich Zeleny, V.A.
Lektorsky, Anna-Teresa Tymieniecka, and Francisco Miro Quesada.
There is a critical and analytical Prologue by the convener of the
Seminar, Ioanna Kucuradi.
This collection of papers conceptualizes human rights as ethical
principles, as well as premises for legislation and for legal
reasoning. The book shows the significance of clear concepts for
the protection of human rights in practice. Taking this conception
of human rights as the point of departure, the book also discusses
the specificities of law - of the state and of politics that hold
the most promise under present-day conditions - for the protection
of human rights and the prevention of their violation. (Series:
Philosophy in International Context / Philosophie im
internationalen Kontext - Vol. 7)
Professional Ethics have become fashionable during the past two
decades. This proliferation of various professional ethics bears
witness to a need to introduce ethical concerns in the exercise of
various professions. In order to answer this need, each profession
attempts to develop its own code of "ethics." In this respect,
questions such as the following arise: Are the various ethical
problems faced during the exercise of a profession different "in
kind" from those ethical problems faced in everyday life? Or, are
they ethical problems of the same kind, requiring in addition
knowledge of the specific area of human endeavour in order to
tackle them? The book deals with these and similar questions and
points to the need for a different approach to professional ethics.
