This book discusses the development of key issues in research ethics relevant for clinical sociologists, concerning client rights to confidentiality, privacy, and informed consent. It describes the US human research protection system used by clinical and applied sociologists, through a history of research ethics, including the landmark Belmont Report and the creation of the regulatory structure of Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) in the United States. It also discusses ethical research systems in other nations like Canada, the UK, Australia and New Zealand. The book provides a comprehensive account of controversial studies in the US, including Milgram's Obedience to Authority, Zimbardo's Stanford Prison Experiment, and the US Public Health Service, and the Tuskegee Syphilis Study, and analyzes how ethical concerns in these studies were or were not resolved. This book covers a topic of core interest to clinical and applied sociologists and other social science practitioners who do research, as well as students and teachers in research ethics courses in anthropology, psychology, political science, sociology, and philosophy, thereby broadening an awareness of clinical sociology.

Ein gutes Leben: Das beschaeftigt die Denkenden im langen 18. Jahrhundert wie keine andere Frage. Dass dieses Problem nicht nur von der hohen Warte der Vernunft aus angegangenen werden kann, ist allen Beteiligten klar. Deshalb geht es mit dem guten Leben vor allem um die ethischen Praktiken im Alltag, die das Miteinander der Menschen bestimmen. Diese Alltagspraktiken sind Gegenstand einer philosophischen Debatte, die im Spannungsfeld von Ethik und Aesthetik gefuehrt wird. Die Praktiken fuehren aber vor allem immer wieder zur Literatur und zu Kunst, in denen ethische Praktiken erprobt und reflektiert werden und deshalb genau dort beobachtet werden. Ein gutes Leben beweist sich deshalb nicht in Vorsaetzen und Prinzipien, sondern in Handlungen.

Insights into a compassionate alternative to a ruthlessly self-interested capitalist culture Societally sanctioned competition for money, power, and fame promotes selfishness, personal alienation, and widespread inequality, especially in market-oriented economies. Yet many of those engaging in this competitive individualism-the competition for rewards and limited resources-yearn to act directly to promote a more civil, equitable, and sustainable society. Enlightened Self-Interest offers evidence-based insights into the societal and individual consequences of this cultural practice and an actionable alternative to it. This meticulously researched and empirically rooted reexamination of hypercompetition and zero-sum thinking presents inspiring examples of people who have reclaimed their own lives by contributing to a more civil, equitable, and sustainable society. They model the vision of enlightened self-interest, merging self-interest with other interests in pursuit of the common good, resulting in widely shared benefits. Enlighted Self Interest provides a compelling case for incremental change and a series of actionable recommendations to jump-start a personal transition and to become part of a collective radical evolution.

How do we understand the dignity and value of non-human animals? Leading philosophers, ethnologists and writers contribute to this interdisciplinary and wide-ranging account of animal dignity. With a foreword by world-leading primatologist, Dr. Jane Goodall DBE, essays collected here make the case for applying the concept of dignity beyond its usual humanist framework and introduce readers to animal dignity in history, law, science, philosophy, and literature. United in recognizing the dignity of non-human animals, these essays suggest how we might ensure a flourishing environment in times of ecological destruction and climate breakdown. Historians, primatologists, philosophers, novelists and artists approach the concept of animal dignity creatively, offering interpretations that are academically rigorous, alongside ones that are personal and literary. This variety of engagement knits together a fruitful way forward for progressive relations between all species.

This open access contributed volume examines the ethical and legal foundations of (future) policies on recommender systems and offers a transdisciplinary approach to tackle important issues related to their development, use and integration into online eco-systems. This volume scrutinizes the values driving automated recommendations - what is important for an individual receiving the recommendation, the company on which that platform was received, and society at large might diverge. The volume addresses concerns about manipulation of individuals and risks for personal autonomy. From a legal perspective, the volume offers a much-needed evaluation of regulatory needs and lawmakers' answers in various legal disciplines. The focus is on European Union measures of platform regulation, consumer protection and anti-discrimination law. The volume will be of particular interest to the community of legal scholars dealing with platform regulation and algorithmic decision making. By including specific use cases, the volume also exposes pitfalls associated with current models of regulation. Beyond the juxtaposition of purely ethical and legal perspectives, the volume contains truly interdisciplinary work on various aspects of recommender systems.

Interviews ueber moralische Sujets sind nicht einfach eine aufgelockerte Art der Informationsvermittlung, sondern stellen eine eigene Art der moralischen Kommunikation mit der Oeffentlichkeit dar. Diese erfolgte in der Vergangenheit fast ausschliesslich in Gestalt von Belehrung, individuellem Zeugnis und exemplarischen Vorbildern. Interviews bieten die Moeglichkeit, dass ein viel groesserer Personenkreis Stellung beziehen, andere zum Nach- und Selbstdenken angeregt und die eigene Meinung in die oeffentliche Kommunikation eingespeist werden kann. Trotzdem kann der Interviewte durchaus als Vertreter seines Fachs oder einer Institution einen Standpunkt beziehen und erlaeutern und auch aus dem Horizont eines Glaubensverstaendnisses Antworten zu geben versuchen. Interviews ueber moralische Sujets verraten infolgedessen etwas ueber den Befragten als Person und sein Problembewusstsein. Sie spiegeln aber auch Themen und Akzente gesellschaftlicher Debatten ueber Tod und Sterben, ueber medizinische Errungenschaften und deren Nutzung, ueber Beziehungen und Institutionen, die Entwicklung des Rechts und die Moeglichkeiten von Versoehnung. In dem vorliegenden Buch werden auch Verlauf und Dynamik des gesellschaftlichen Moraldiskurses und die Rolle der theologischen Ethik hierbei reflektiert.

Written in language accessible to general readers with an interest in Gandhian thinking, the book will appeal to academics and philosophers.
