Описание: This set of essays brings together scholars and practitioners from different part of the world engaged in how ethical interpretations of globalization, citizenship, and information might provide insights into global relations and issues. This effort expands information ethics work into a wider circle, as the subject is examined by a purposefully diverse range of perspectives, from philosophers, to social justice educators, to working librarians. The book builds its arguments on both traditional scholarly and professional sources as well as new ones, by necessity, for example data leaked from software used by the Communications Security Establishment, Canada's national cryptologic agency, to spy on the Brazilian Ministry of Mines and Energy that were part of the leaked Snowden data. The result is a work entwines cautionary tales with possibilities for resistance and that expands our understanding of citizenship and of the reshaping of public and private spheres. On one level the book brings to light the expansion of globalization, digital citizenship, and how the borders and boundaries of citizenship as a national concern have been challenged by globalized information systems and practices. On another level, the book reveals ways public and private spheres have been reshaped through colonialism, capitalism, and globalization.

Описание: In the first scholarly exposition of Maria Montessori’s moral philosophy, Patrick R. Frierson presents an empirically-grounded ethics that takes its start from our tendency to strive for excellence and emphasizes mutual respect, social solidarity, and love. Laying out a compelling, Montessorian approach to ethical life, Frierson constructs an account of human agency based on children, who when attentively at work on self-chosen tasks, have agency worthy of respect. Through this interpretation of children’s agency, he introduces the core concept of Montessorian “character”: in Montessori’s ethics, character provides the ultimate value worthy of direct respect, and those with character have a natural tendency to respect others. Character is enhanced through corporate forms of agency that Montessori calls “social solidarity.” Weaving this educationalist’s ethics with theory from Nietzsche, Aristotle, Kant, Hegel, and Marx, Frierson places Montessori in the context of the history of philosophy. His study effectively unites philosophy and education, showing how human ethical life can be enhanced through a moral theory based on the respectful attention to the lived agency of young children.

Описание: As the global population ages, disability demographics are shifting. Societal transformation and global health inequities have changed who is likely to reach old age, who is likely to live with disability, and the relationship between aging and disability in various socio-cultural and geopolitical contexts. The Aging–Disability Nexus breaks new ground by bringing gerontology and disability studies into dialogue. This thoughtful examination of competing narratives about disability and aging explores the distinction between aging with a disability and aging into disability, revealing how multiple identities, socio-economic forces, culture, and community give form to our experiences.
Описание: The concept of transhumanism emerged in the middle of the 20th century, and has influenced discussions around AI, brain–computer interfaces, genetic technologies and life extension. Despite its enduring influence in the public imagination, a fully developed philosophy of transhumanism has not yet been presented. In this new book, leading philosopher Stefan Lorenz Sorgner explores the critical issues that link transhumanism with digitalization, gene technologies and ethics. He examines the history and meaning of transhumanism and asks bold questions about human perfection, cyborgs, genetically enhanced entities, and uploaded minds. Offering insightful reflections on values, norms and utopia, this will be an important guide for readers interested in contemporary digital culture, gene ethics, and policy making.
