Dimensions of Dignity
Author: D. Egonsson
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9401149747
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 360
Book Description
Is membership of our species important in itself, or is it just important to have the properties that a normal grown-up human being has? A value subjectivist may argue for a special human value proceeding from the assumption that most of us believe or sense that being human is something important per se and independently of, for instance, those properties that form the basis of personhood. This allows all human beings to have a share in this value. Other attempts to defend a principle of human dignity fail in this respect and are criticized in this book. The book is intended for philosophers with a general interest in moral philosophy or ethics, and more specifically axiological, animal and medical ethics.

Dignity: Its Essential Role in Resolving Conflict
Author: Donna Hicks
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 0300263503
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 245
Book Description
A noted conflict-resolution expert explores dignity, its role in human conflict, and its power to improve relationships Drawing on her extensive experience in international conflict resolution and on insights from evolutionary biology, psychology, and neuroscience, Donna Hicks explains what the elements of dignity are, how to recognize dignity violations, how to respond when we are not treated with dignity, how dignity can restore a broken relationship, why leaders must understand the concept of dignity, and more. By choosing dignity as a way of life, Hicks shows, we open the way to greater peace within ourselves and to a safer and more humane world for all. For the Tenth Anniversary Edition of Dignity, Hicks has written a new preface that reflects on her experience helping communities and individuals understand the power of dignity and how it can lead to a more peaceful world. “Anyone who understands the importance of personal feelings and their fuel for conflict should consider Dignity as a powerful advisory and motivational guide.”—Midwest Book Review Winner of the 2012 Educator’s Award, given by the Delta Kappa Gamma Society International.

Dignity at Work
Author: Randy Hodson
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521778121
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 340
Book Description
Human dignity, the ability to establish a sense of self-worth and self-respect and to enjoy the respect of others, is necessary for a fully realized life. Working with dignity is a fundamental part of achieving a life well-lived, yet the workplace often poses challenging obstacles because of mismanagement or managerial abuse. Defending dignity and realizing self-respect through work are key to workers' well-being; insuring the dignity of employees is equally important for organizations as they attempt to make effective use of their human capital. In this book Randy Hodson, a sociologist of work and organizational behavior, applies ethnographic and statistical approaches to this topic, offering both a richly detailed, inside look at real examples of dignity in action, and a broader analysis of the pivotal role of dignity at work.

Health, Rights and Dignity
Author: Christian Erk
Publisher:
ISBN: 9783868380934
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 385
Book Description
Health as a human right has become pervasive. It has been acknowledged by a variety of international law documents, which entered the political realm and academic circles. Yet, despite its prominence, health as a human right remains a mystery —especially with respect to its philosophical underpinnings. To address this unfortunate insufficiency, Health, Rights and Dignity critically assesses the stipulation that health is a human right, which—as international law holds—derives from the inherent dignity of the human person. The author scrutinizes concepts underlying this stipulation (health, rights, dignity) and concludes that such a right cannot be upheld from a philosophical perspective.

The Philosophical Diseases of Medicine and their Cure
Author: Josef Seifert
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1402028717
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 460
Book Description
At all times physicians were bound to pursue not only medical tasks, but to reflect also on the many anthropological and metaphysical aspects of their discipline, such as on the nature of life and death, of health and sickness, and above all on the vital ethical dimensions of their practice. For centuries, almost for two millennia, how ever, those who practiced medicine lived in a relatively clearly defined ethical and implicitly philosophical or religious 'world-order' within which they could safely turn to medical practice, knowing right from wrong, or at least being told what to do and what not to do. Today, however, the situation has radically changed, mainly due to three quite different reasons: First and most obviously, physicians today are faced with a tremendous development of new possibilities and techniques which allow previously unheard of medical interventions (such as cloning, cryo-conservation, ge netic interference, etc. ) which call out for ethical reflection and wise judgment but regarding which there is no legal and medical ethical tradition. Traditional medical education did not prepare physicians for coping with this new brave world of mod em medicine. Secondly, there are the deep philosophical crises and the philosophical diseases of medicine mentioned in the preface that lead to a break-down of firm and formative legal and ethical norms for medical actions.
