Public Sector Ethics - Theory And Applications

by Steven G. Koven

205,38€ + 10% CARD

 In a down-to-earth review of the often-contentious subject of ethics, Public Sector Ethics: Theory and Applications presents personal accounts of individuals who faced moral dilemmas and how they resolved them. It moves the study of ethics away from a box checking exercise of what to do/not to do to a discussion that creates understanding of existential choices that people make. The book supplements discussion of the literature with practical examples of ethical dilemmas that public servants face.Through detailed case studies the book argues that the concept of ethics is not black and white, but is a fluid concept that can be described in shades of gray through various lenses. It identifies how factors such as religion and philosophy can shape individuals' values and possible friction that can arise between individuals' values and missions of their organizations. It also stresses the importance of an organization's strength of mission in creating environments for ethical action.Taking a candid look at some of the unsavory stereotypes relating to government employee work ethic, the book explains the relationship between ethics and organizational structure. It emphasizes the role of mission fulfillment as a means to respond to the wishes of the populace, linking ethics to democratic accountability. It then gives you a framework for making ethical decisions that line up with your organization's mission.

Enquiry Into An Origin Of Honour And The Usefulness Of Christianity In War

~~1,06€~~ 0,95€ 10% OFF

 An enquiry into the origin of honour and the usefulness of Christianity in war examines the foundations of moral behavior by questioning how honour is formed and how it functions within society and conflict. The work approaches honour not as innate virtue but as a socially cultivated impulse shaped by pride, recognition, and collective approval. Through philosophical discussion, the text distinguishes moral integrity from reputation driven conduct, suggesting that honour often motivates action through self regard rather than ethical conviction. The argument explores how institutions shape and redirect honour to preserve order, loyalty, and obedience, especially in times of warfare. Religious morality is examined alongside these impulses, raising questions about the compatibility of Christian values with organized violence. The discussion highlights how concepts such as sacrifice, courage, and discipline can be framed to justify aggression while still appearing morally grounded. By analyzing honour as a tool of governance and persuasion, the work challenges readers to reconsider accepted moral frameworks. Overall, it presents a critical reflection on how ethics, belief, and power interact to influence human conduct in both personal and collective life.

Moral Philosophy: Ethics, Deontology And Natural Law

~~1,06€~~ 0,95€ 10% OFF

 Moral philosophy: Ethics, deontology and natural law examines moral reasoning as a structured inquiry into human action, obligation, and the pursuit of happiness. The work presents moral philosophy as a unified discipline divided into three interconnected areas that explain why actions are chosen, how duties arise, and how moral law is grounded in human nature. Human acts are described as purposeful efforts directed toward perceived good, with happiness understood not as pleasure alone but as fulfillment aligned with reason. Ethical reflection is positioned as the study of human flourishing, while deontology clarifies the binding force of duty and obligation that governs conduct regardless of inclination. Natural law is introduced as the rational foundation that connects moral rules to the inherent order of human nature and social life. The discussion emphasizes that moral obligation cannot be reduced to custom, emotion, or consequence alone, but must be understood through rational principles that guide choice and responsibility. This approach provides a systematic foundation for later analysis of moral law, responsibility, and ethical judgment.

Handbook Of Ethical Theory

~~1,06€~~ 0,95€ 10% OFF

 A handbook of ethical theory presents a structured examination of moral philosophy designed to clarify how ethical judgments are formed and evaluated. The work focuses on defining core moral concepts while encouraging readers to question assumptions that are often treated as fixed or universal. It introduces the idea that accepted moral standards differ widely across societies and traditions, urging careful reflection rather than uncritical acceptance. The discussion emphasizes clarity of thought as essential to meaningful ethical debate, highlighting how confusion in language and reasoning weakens moral inquiry. Various approaches to ethics are outlined to show how thinkers have attempted to explain obligation, value, and responsibility. The book treats morality as a subject shaped by human experience, social context, and philosophical reasoning rather than rigid doctrine. By examining differences in moral judgment and method, it promotes analytical engagement with ethical problems. The overall approach frames ethics as a disciplined inquiry aimed at understanding human conduct, moral disagreement, and the foundations of moral reasoning.

Misuse Of Mind: A Study Of Bergson'S Attack On Intellectualism

~~1,06€~~ 0,95€ 10% OFF

 The misuse of mind: A study of Bergson's attack on intellectualism examines how fixed patterns of reasoning can limit the ability to grasp reality as it is directly experienced. The work introduces a critique of rigid analytical methods, suggesting that excessive reliance on classification and abstraction distances thought from the fluid nature of lived experience. It highlights how established habits of reasoning encourage certainty but can also prevent deeper insight, since they prioritize neatly defined concepts over the shifting qualities of immediate perception. The text reflects on how intellectual traditions shape expectations, showing that understanding often becomes constrained by familiar terminology rather than guided by what events and sensations reveal in the moment. It proposes that meaningful comprehension requires a willingness to adjust mental habits, embrace intuitive awareness, and acknowledge that thought must sometimes follow the movement of experience rather than confine it. Through its analysis, the book points toward a more flexible approach to inquiry, where attention to continuity, duration, and change allows perception to illuminate what strict logic may overlook.

Metaphysical Elements Of Ethics

~~1,06€~~ 0,95€ 10% OFF

 The metaphysical elements of ethics presents a systematic exploration of moral philosophy, examining how reason shapes human duty and the principles that guide ethical action. The work emphasizes that genuine morality arises not from emotion or external pressures but from the rational recognition of obligation and the commitment to act in accordance with universal principles. Central to the text is the concept of the categorical imperative, which asserts that actions must be guided by maxims that can consistently apply to all rational beings. The book distinguishes between duties of virtue, which include self-improvement and concern for the welfare of others, and legal or societal duties, framing morality as a practice of disciplined reasoning and self-restraint. Through this lens, ethical behavior is portrayed as an expression of autonomy, where freedom is realized by acting in alignment with duty rather than inclination. The work encourages reflection on how rational deliberation can cultivate moral capacities, elevate ethical considerations above personal gain, and foster a principled approach to human interaction and social responsibility.

Through calm reasoning and reflective dialogue, the central figure affirms a belief in moral responsibility and the pursuit of truth above material advantage or social approval. The play highlights the tension between those who cling to authority and those who search for deeper understanding, illustrating how genuine inquiry can inspire younger generations even when it leads to personal risk. The unfolding events serve as a critique of systems that prefer obedience over insight, showing how steadfast adherence to principle can leave a lasting influence. Ultimately, the work explores the cost of intellectual freedom and the enduring strength of ethical clarity.

Ethics: (Ethica Ordine Geometrico Demonstrata)

~~1,06€~~ 0,95€ 10% OFF

 The ethics (Ethica ordine geometrico demonstrate) is a philosophical treatise that presents a carefully ordered investigation into reality, knowledge, and moral understanding through strict logical structure. Developed by Benedictus de Spinoza, the work proposes that all existence unfolds from a single, infinite substance, dissolving divisions between God, nature, and human life. Core concepts such as substance, attributes, and modes are used to explain how everything follows necessary laws rather than chance. Human thought and emotion are examined as natural expressions of this unified order, reshaping ideas of freedom, responsibility, and ethical living. Freedom is redefined as understanding the causes behind desires and actions, allowing reason to guide emotional life. Ethical insight arises from knowledge that transforms confusion into clarity and dependence into self-mastery. By linking metaphysical structure with inner experience, the book presents ethics as a process of intellectual growth, emotional balance, and alignment with the rational order of existence, offering a vision of well-being rooted in understanding rather than moral rules.

Problems Of Conduct: An Introductory Survey Of Ethics

~~1,06€~~ 0,95€ 10% OFF

 Problems of conduct: An introductory survey of ethics examines how individuals understand moral decisions and the forces that shape responsible action. The book begins by establishing ethics as a practical tool for navigating everyday choices, emphasizing how people rely on reflection rather than instinct when determining what is right. It discusses the development of moral awareness, showing how personal judgment emerges from experience, intention, and the need to create a balanced life within a broader community. The early sections outline how ethical thinking helps individuals distinguish between harmful and constructive behavior, encouraging the formation of clear ideals that guide conduct. The text also considers how society influences personal responsibility, suggesting that thoughtful decision making can strengthen cooperation, reduce conflict, and support a more coherent social environment. By connecting individual choices with the larger fabric of communal life, the book creates a foundation for exploring the ongoing effort required to build meaningful relationships, cultivate integrity, and understand the deeper purpose behind moral reflection.

Everyday Ethics - A Layman'S Guide To Morality.

by Raymond Kiely

~~5,30€~~ 4,77€ 10% OFF

 EVERYDAY ETHICS - A LAYMAN'S GUIDE TO MORALITY In a world where morality is often tied to dogma, Everyday Ethics challenges us to critically examine the foundations of our individual moral beliefs. Our moral compass is frequently based on perspectives and information that we have simply absorbed from the commonly held views of those around us, with little real research, or consideration or even questioning being given to the correctness of those views. Many times, these morals are based on religious doctrine, which over the centuries, and often still today, has had detrimental impacts on many, and sometimes even our own lives. What if our values were not rooted in divine command, but only in human compassion, reason and empathy? Can we build a more equitable and compassionate society without relying on religious orthodoxy? What would society look like if we based our moral principles on humanism rather than religious authority? This thought-provoking exploration of secular ethics invites you to consider a moral framework that prioritizes human well-being, dignity and flourishing. Everyday Ethics examines a number of moral issues relevant to our lives today, with the secular arguments for and against each topic presented in a concise and easy to access manner (with a little humour), with information, facts and perspectives for and against that encourage you to examine the validity of your own beliefs. We all seek to lead good lives. Everyday Ethics will help to ensure that your beliefs and subsequent actions will contribute positively to the world we live in and to those around us.
