Описание: Is there an objective moral standard that applies to all our actions? To what extent should I sacrifice my own interests for the sake of others? How might philosophers of the past help us think about contemporary ethical problems?
As the most recent addition to the Blackwell Readings in Philosophy series, History of Ethics: Essential Readings with Commentary brings together rich and varied excerpts of canonical work and contemporary scholarship to span the history of Western moral philosophy in one volume. Editors Star and Crisp, noted scholars in their fields, expertly introduce the readings to illuminate the main philosophical ideas and arguments in each selection, and connect them to broader themes. These detailed and incisive editorial commentaries make the primary source texts accessible to students while guiding them chronologically through the history of Western ethics.
Structured around a thematic table of contents divided into three distinct sections, History of Ethics charts patterns in the development of ethical thought across time to highlight connections between intellectual movements. Selections range from the work of well-known figures such as Plato, Aristotle, Nietzsche, and Mill to the work of philosophers often overlooked by such anthologies, including Butler, Smith, Sidgwick, Anscombe, Foot, and Frankena. Star and Crisp skillfully arrange the collection to connect readings to contemporary issues and interests by featuring examples such as Aquinas on self-defense and the doctrine of double effect, Kant on virtue, and Mill's The Subjection of Women.
Written for students and scholars of ethics, History of Ethics is a comprehensive collection of readings with expert editorial commentary that curates the most important and influential work in the history of ethics in the Western world.

Описание: Smart Technologies and Fundamental Rights covers a broad range of vital topics that highlight the ethical, socio-political, and legal challenges as well as technical issues of Artificial Intelligence with respect to fundamental rights. Either humanity will greatly profit from the use of AI in almost all domains in human life, which may eventually lead to a much better and more humane society, or it could be the case that people may misuse AI for idiosyncratic purposes and intelligent machines may turn against human beings. Therefore, we should be extremely cautious with respect to the technological development of AI because we might not be able to control the machines once they reached a certain level of sophistication.
Описание: This book draws on medical sociology, complexity science, and political philosophy to describe how complex health care systems contribute to common ethical challenges and create pressure on health care professionals and other staff to improvise remedies to compensate for flawed structures or policies.

Terahertz (THz) electromagnetic waves, phenomena in the THz range and related technological issues have been explosively investigated during the recent two decades. However, its potential as a disruptive technology to commercial applications has yet to make any impression.
The Russia-Japan-USA-Europe Symposium on Fundamental and Applied Problems of Terahertz Devices and Technologies (RJUSE-TeraTech 2016), held at Katahira Campus of Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan on October 31 - November 4, 2016, aims to bring together researchers from Russia, Japan, USA and Europe, who are working on the broad range of related problems in the terahertz devices, technologies and applications, to discuss on state-of-the-art results and future directions and collaborations in the development of THz.
This is the fifth in the series of preceding successful symposiums in Terahertz Devices and Technologies. It contains 14 selected extended papers presented at the RJUSE-TeraTech 2016 symposium, addressing the variety of topics, in particular, THz detectors based on double heterojunction bipolar transistors (DHBT) and field effect transistors (FET) utilizing resonant plasma effects, quantum cascade (QCL) and HgCdTe quantum-well heterostructures, and graphene-based THz devices.
Описание: This book brings together seven selected best papers presented at the 2014 Russia-Japan-USA Symposium on Fundamental and Applied Problems of Terahertz Devices and Technologies (RJUS TeraTech-2014), which was held at the University of Buffalo, New York, USA on 17-21 June 2014.

Описание:
Problems in Value Theory takes a pro and con approach to central topics in aesthetics, ethics and political theory.
Each chapter begins with a question: What Makes Actions Right or Wrong? Does Morality Depend on God? Do We Need Government? Contemporary philosophers with opposing viewpoints are then paired together to argue their position and raise problems with conflicting standpoints. Alongside an up-to-date introduction to a core philosophical stance, each contributor provides a critical response to their opponent and clear explanation of their view. Discussion questions are included at the end of each chapter to guide further discussion. With chapters ranging from why the government should never wage war to what is art and does morality depend on God, this introduction covers questions lying at the heart of debates about what does and does not have value.

Описание: What is ethics? Where do moral standards come from? Are they based on emotions, reason, or some innate sense of right and wrong? This title argues that altruism began as a genetically based drive to protect one`s kin and community members but has developed into a consciously chosen ethic with an expanding circle of moral concern.
Описание: How do we adapt to the profound societal changes wrought by digital media? What do these changes mean for political freedom? This highly original study of digital behavior and the crisis in privacy will interest scholars and anyone concerned about the impact of technology and the future of democracy.
