Effective Altruism
Author: Jacob Bauer
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1509562451
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 138
Book Description
As the world faces increasingly complex problems – from pandemics to global poverty and climate change – how do we decide where to concentrate our efforts and resources to do the most good possible? Effective altruism offers a way to do just that, focusing on evidence and rational arguments to identify crucial issues and the most impactful ways of solving them. In this new book, philosopher Jacob Bauer cuts through the uncritical hype and wholesale dismissal around effective altruism to offer a balanced overview of this movement’s core concepts and approaches to “doing good better.” With examples spanning malaria-preventing bed nets to the dangers of AI, he illuminates how effective altruism is addressing some of the world’s most pressing problems, all the while acknowledging its real limitations and showcasing its immense promise. Whether you are a skeptic or a new adherent seeking to understand the philosophy and community of effective altruism, this book is the definitive guide.

The Vaxxed
Author: Shawn A. McCastle
Publisher: McCastle Press
ISBN: 1648267874
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 222
Book Description
A deeply-reported examination of why the COVID-19 vaccine terminations represent a flawed practice by American corporations, driven by the same corporate exploitation that has carried news headlines, pushing more employees into depressed labor. You received sweet talk in the job interview but obtained sour grapes and pink slips for something basic as following through on your constitutional guarantee, your right to make personal decisions about your own bodily integrity. In The Vaxxed: Culture War in the Workplace, Shawn A. McCastle, a preeminent voice on business, I-O psychology, inequality, labor, and non-death grief examines the gritty, posterior issues of the COVID-19 pandemic and the mass terminations that rock the United States. Told through the lived experience of McCastle as he shares his own termination and removal from two major organizations, Allied-Universal Security Services and the World Bank Group headquartered in Washington, D.C. McCastle makes comparisons of the COVID-19 pandemic and the AIDS epidemic, showing how society is no better off today than yesterday by terminating the employment of employees who refused to provide their vaccination status or submit to COVID-19 vaccination at all. McCastle shows how ineffective CEOs copied and pasted other corporations’ policies and how the lack of corporate creativity, policies, and vision drove one of the most destructive labor practices in American history. McCastle argues, corporations need to develop effective people strategies to minimize disruptions and friction within the workplace. McCastle also shows how organizations have been propped up by employees, but in crunch time, employees do not receive identical returns.

Understanding Humanism
Author: Andrew Copson
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 100064538X
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
Understanding Humanism is an easy-to-read and informative overview of the beliefs, practices, and values of humanism as a non-religious worldview. This short and lively book explores humanism both as a broad historical tradition of thought and as a stance embodied in organised institutions. It sets out clearly and systematically the beliefs and values of humanism as well as the reality and personal experience of living as a humanist today. Questions discussed in this book include: How do humanists see the relation between science and religious belief? Is humanism wedded to science as the only valid form of knowledge? What value do humanists place on the arts, and can they value religious art? Does the emphasis on human responsibility depend on an untenable belief in 'free will', and is this undermined by psychology and neuroscience? Do humanists think that life is sacred? What account would humanists give of the basis of human rights, and why they are important? Does humanism entail that human life is meaningless and pointless? Can humanists meet the challenge of nihilism? Understanding Humanism provides a reliable and easily digestible introduction to the field. By exploring these questions and inviting readers to engage with the arguments, it serves as the ideal textbook for those approaching the topic of humanism for the first time.
