Moral Psychology - Feminist Ethics and Social Theory (Paperback): Peggy DesAutels, Margaret Urban Walker Moral Psychology - Feminist Ethics and Social Theory (Paperback)

R1,690 Discovery Miles 16 900 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Moral psychology studies the features of cognition, judgement, perception, and emotion that make human beings capable of moral action. Perspectives from feminist and race theory immensely enrich moral psychology. Writers who take these perspectives ask questions about mind, feeling, and action in contexts of social difference and unequal power and opportunity. These essays by a distinguished international cast of philosophers explore moral psychology as it connects to social life, scientific studies, and literature.

Mother Time - Women, Aging, and Ethics (Paperback): Margaret Urban Walker Mother Time - Women, Aging, and Ethics (Paperback)
Margaret Urban Walker; Contributions by Sandra Lee Bartky, Daniel Callahan, Joan C. Callahan, Peggy DesAutels, …
R915 Discovery Miles 9 150 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Fifteen original essays open up a novel area of inquiry: the distinctively ethical dimensions of women's experiences of and in aging. Contributors distinguished in the fields of feminist ethics and the ethics of aging explore assumptions, experiences, practices, and public policies that affect women's well-being and dignity in later life. The book brings to the study of women's aging a reflective dimension missing from the empirical work that has predominated to date. Ethical studies of aging have so far failed to emphasize gender. And feminist ethics has neglected older women, even when emphasizing other dimensions of 'difference.' Finally work on aging in all fields has focused on the elderly, while this volume sees aging as an extended process of negotiating personal and social change.

Moral Understandings - A Feminist Study in Ethics (Paperback, 2nd Revised edition): Margaret Urban Walker Moral Understandings - A Feminist Study in Ethics (Paperback, 2nd Revised edition)
Margaret Urban Walker
R1,752 Discovery Miles 17 520 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This is a revised edition of Walker's well-known book in feminist ethics first published in 1997. Walker's book proposes a view of morality and an approach to ethical theory which uses the critical insights of feminism and race theory to rethink the epistemological and moral position of the ethical theorist, and how moral theory is inescapably shaped by culture and history. The main gist of her book is that morality is embodied in "practices of responsibility" that express our identities, values, and connections to others in socially patterned ways. Thus ethical theory needs to be empirically informed and politically critical to avoid reiterating forms of socially entrenched bias. Responsible ethical theory should reveal and question the moral significance of social differences. The book engages with, and challenges, the work of contemporary analytic philosophers in ethics.

Virtue and the Moral Life - Theological and Philosophical Perspectives (Paperback): William Werpehowski, Kathryn Getek Soltis Virtue and the Moral Life - Theological and Philosophical Perspectives (Paperback)

R1,687 Discovery Miles 16 870 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

The scope of interest and reflection on virtue and the virtues is as wide and deep as the questions we can ask about what makes a moral agent's life decent, or noble, or holy rather than cruel, or base, or sinful; or about the conditions of human character and circumstance that make for good relations between family members, friends, workers, fellow citizens, and strangers, and the sorts of conditions that do not. Clearly these questions will inevitably be directed to more finely grained features of everyday life in particular contexts. Virtue and the Moral Life: Theological and Philosophical Perspectives takes up these questions. In its ten timely and original chapters, it considers the specific importance of virtue ethics, its public significance for shaping a society's common good, the value of civic integrity, warfare and returning soldiers' sense of enlarged moral responsibility, the care for and agency of children in contemporary secular consumer society, and other questions involving moral failure, humility, and forgiveness.

Hilde Lindemann, Marian Verkerk, Margaret Urban Walker
R2,453 Discovery Miles 24 530 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Naturalized Bioethics represents a revolutionary change in how health care ethics is practiced. It calls for bioethicists to give up their dependence on utilitarianism and other ideal moral theories and instead to move toward a self-reflexive, socially inquisitive, politically critical, and inclusive ethics. Wary of idealizations that bypass social realities, the naturalism in ethics that is developed in this volume is empirically nourished and acutely aware that ethical theory is the practice of particular people in particular times, places, cultures, and professional environments. The essays in this collection examine the variety of embodied experiences of individual people. They situate the bioethicist within the clinical or research context, take seriously the web of relationships in which all human beings are nested, and explore a number of the many different kinds of power relations that inform health care encounters. Naturalized Bioethics aims to help bioethicists, doctors, nurses, allied health professionals, disability studies scholars, medical researchers, and other health professionals address the ethical issues surrounding health care.

Moral Repair examines the ethics and moral psychology of responses to wrongdoing.
