Humanities & Social SciencesAugust 2021Rules and ethics
Perspectives from anthropology and history
by Morgan Clarke, Emily Corran
This book investigates the pronounced enthusiasm that many traditions display for codes of ethics characterised by a multitude of rules. Recent anthropological interest in ethics and historical explorations of 'self-fashioning' have led to extensive study of the virtuous self, but existing scholarship tends to pass over the kind of morality that involves legalistic reasoning. Rules and ethics corrects that omission by demonstrating the importance of rules in everyday moral life in a variety of contexts. In a nutshell, it argues that legalistic moral rules are not necessarily an obstruction to a rounded ethical self, but can be an integral part of it. An extended introduction first sets out the theoretical basis for studies of ethical systems that are characterised by detailed rules. This is followed by a series of empirical studies of rule-oriented moral traditions in a comparative perspective.

September 2023My Bank Washes Greener
Eco lies told by the finance sector
by Bernd Villhauer
— By the expert in ethical business — Once you have finished this, you will never fall for green financial lies again — Global Ethic Institute (Weltethos- Institut) network And suddenly every bank is sustainable. This truly necessary "debate book" explains in a wellfounded way what green-washing means in the financial sector, and why banks, insurance companies, asset managers, stockbrokers and other financial players clothe themselves in their allegedly so green-and-friendly cloak. It provides an easy-to-understand explanation of the various forms of greenwashing, how we can recognise the different "varieties" and – above all – how we can avoid them. This is also important because the entire financial and capital system is an important part of a sustainable future – and this can only succeed if it is honest, transparent and impact-orientated.

MedicineFebruary 1995Ethics, law and nursing
by Nina Fletcher
An introduction to the ethical and legal dilemmas in nursing practice, this text is designed to provoke the nurse to reflect on the nature of his or her professional obligations and future practice. The authors firstly familiarise the reader with the basic principles of ethical debate and the overall structure of the legal system as it effects nurses. They then address the fundamental dilemmas of nursing practice, such as whether or not paternalism can ever be justified, if patients have the right to die, and what a nurse's response should be to poor professional practice by colleagues. The book aims to enhance the reader's understanding of the issues, and to educate nurses to develop their own skills of reasoning and judgement. ;

Humanities & Social SciencesSeptember 2008Leonardo da Vinci and the ethics of style
by Claire Farago
Leonardo da Vinci and the ethics of style brings together a distinguished group of experts on Leonardo and the Renaissance, examining the ethical underpinnings of art history. The seven essays articulate the complexity of ways in which style involved ethical considerations during the early modern period, and still involves us in its conundrums. Looking at individual works and concepts, this fascinating collection covers subjects such as Leonardo's understanding of his role as a painter as that of a natural philosopher, his interests in visual perception and the understanding of visual sensations by the mind, how and why Leonardo's ideas on painting are at the core of art theory, how Leonardo addresses style in gendered terms, and 'style' as the historian's projection. This volume will be of great interest to all those studying or with an enthusiasm for Renaissance art history, art theory, cultural studies and philosophy. ;

Literature & Literary StudiesNovember 2021Practising shame
Female honour in later medieval England
by Mary C. Flannery, Anke Bernau, David Matthews
Practicing shame investigates how the literature of medieval England encouraged women to safeguard their honour by cultivating hypervigilance against the possibility of sexual shame. A combination of inward reflection and outward comportment, this practice of 'shamefastness' was believed to reinforce women's chastity of mind and body, and to communicate that chastity to others by means of conventional gestures. The book uncovers the paradoxes and complications that emerged from these emotional practices, as well as the ways in which they were satirised and reappropriated by male authors. Working at the intersection of literary studies, gender studies and the history of emotions, it transforms our understanding of the ethical construction of femininity in the past and provides a new framework for thinking about honourable womanhood now and in the years to come.

June 2004Die Kunst, seine Schulden zu zahlen und seine Gläubiger zu befriedigen, ohne auch nur einen Sou selbst aus der Tasche zu nehmen
by Honoré Balzac, E. Fred
Honoré de Balzac, der berühmte Autor der Comédie humaine, war auch ein zu seiner Zeit berühmter Schuldner. Noch vor seinen literarischen Erfolgen habe er nach gewagten Spekulationen als Verleger und Druckereiunternehmer Insolvenz anmelden müssen und wurde Zeit seines Lebens von Gläubigern verfolgt. Er selbst soll mit Vorliebe darüber gesprochen haben - und dies mit einer unverwüstlichen, ansteckenden Munterkeit. »Die Kunst, seine Schulden zu zahlen und seine Gläubiger zu befriedigen, ohne auch nur einen Sou selbst aus der Tasche zu nehmen« ist also aus der Erfahrung gewonnen: eine nicht ganz ernst zu nehmende Anleitung, mit dem Geld auszukommen, das man nicht hat. Humorvoll beleuchtet Balzac das Phänomen von allen erdenklichen Seiten - ironischerweise unter dem Deckmäntelchen eines rechtschaffenen Herausgebers, der lediglich die Aufzeichnungen eines Onkels, des schwarzen Schafes der Familie, nach dessen Tod der Öffentlichkeit zu präsentieren vorgibt.

May 1989Vater Goriot
Roman
by Honoré Balzac, Erika Wesemann, Franz Hessel
Honoré de Balzac wurde am 20. Mai 1799 in Tours geboren. 1816 begann er ein Jurastudium an der École de Droit in Paris auf und besuchte daneben Vorlesungen an der Faculté des lettres und am Collège de France, was ihn dazu veranlaßte, neben seinem Jurastudium philosophische Überlegungen niederzuschreiben. Schließlich brach er das Studium ab, um sich ausschließlich dem Schreiben zu widmen. Sein Vater finanzierte ihm die ersten zwei Jahre, die Balzac schreibend in einer Mansarde verbrachte. Das Ergebnis war allerlei Feuilletonistisches und Lyrisches, Fragmente eines Opernlibrettos und einer Tragödie. 1823 verdiente er sein Geld vor allem mit Beiträgen für das Feuilleton littéraire. Den erhofften Durchbruch als Romanautor schaffte er erst 1829 mit dem historischen Roman Le dernier Chouan , ou La Bretagne en 1800. In den folgenden Jahren schrieb Balzac wie besessen. Die Comédie Humaine sollte Balzacs Lebenswerk werden, das er jedoch nicht mehr vollenden konnte. 91 der geplanten 137 Romane und Erzählungen wurden fertiggestellt. Ab 1843 bekam Balzac aufgrund seiner ständigen Überanstrengung und seines exzessiven Kaffeeverbrauchs ernsthafte gesundheitliche Probleme, von denen er sich nicht mehr erholte. Er starb am 18. August 1850 in Paris.

Literature & Literary StudiesMarch 2023Sleep and its spaces in Middle English literature
Emotions, ethics, dreams
by Megan Leitch
Middle English literature is intimately concerned with sleep and the spaces in which it takes place. In the medieval English imagination, sleep is an embodied and culturally determined act. It is both performed and interpreted by characters and contemporaries, subject to a particular habitus and understood through particular hermeneutic lenses. While illuminating the intersecting medical and moral discourses by which it is shaped, sleep also sheds light on subjects in favour of which it has hitherto been overlooked: what sleep can enable (dreams and dream poetry) or what it can stand in for or supersede (desire and sex). This book argues that sleep mediates thematic concerns and questions in ways that have ethical, affective and oneiric implications. At the same time, it offers important contributions to understanding different Middle English genres: romance, dream vision, drama and fabliau.

Das Chagrinleder
Roman
by Honoré Balzac, Erika Wesemann, Hedwig Lachmann
Honoré de Balzac gilt mit seiner »Menschlichen Komödie«, diesem Kolossalgemälde nationaler Geschichte und menschlicher Leidenschaften, als der größte Erzähler seines Jahrhunderts. Der Roman »Das Chagrinleder«, 1831 erstmals erschienen und Teil der »Philosophischen Studien«, versetzt den Leser in das glänzende, vergnügungssüchtige Paris kurz vor der Julimonarchie. Im Mittelpunkt des phantastisch-geheimnisvoll anmutenden und zu seiner Zeit sehr erfolgreichen Romans steht der junge verarmte Adlige Raphael de Valentin, der, nach seinen gescheiterten literarischen Versuchen und erfolglosen Bemühungen um die Gunst der schönen, aber gefühllosen Gräfin Fœdora, seine letzte Hoffnung in die Kraft eines magischen Talismans setzt, der ihm um einen teuren Preis zu Ansehen und Reichtum verhelfen soll.
