Italian Studies on Quality of Life
This volume provides an overview of the ways the Italian school of quality of life studies addresses well-being and quality of life, from both a substantive and a methodological point of view. It discusses various topics such as those of equitable and sustainable wellbeing, lifestyles, the organization of economy and welfare, as well as aspects related to the measurement of quality of life in small towns, institutional transparency and corruption prevention indicators. Chapters presented in this volume are drawn from papers presented at the conferences of the Italian Association for Quality of Life Studies (AIQUAV) held in Florence, Italy, in 2015 and 2016. The volume is organised into three parts. The first part is devoted to methods and indicators for research on quality of life, the second part to social sustainability, lifestyles, cultural aspects and local applications, and the third to economy, welfare and quality of life. The volume hosts contributions that are interdisciplinary in scope and mirror the complexity of the globalized world.
Industrial Symbiosis for the Circular Economy
The book is designed to help public and private decision-makers and academics deepen their knowledge and understanding of the contexts, obstacles and challenges of a variety of business types involved in Industrial Symbiosis and Circular Economy practices. Industrial Symbiosis is reported in the Action Plan on the Circular Economy developed by the European Commission in 2015 (COM / 2015/0614 final) and in its revision of 14 March 2017, but relatively little is known of how these practices start, develop or fail, and mutate in a rapidly changing context. Including selected contributions presented at the 24th ISDRS 2018 Conference, “Actions for a Sustainable World: from theory to practice”...
The Origins of Economy Derive from Ethics, a Detachment from it Has to be Considered a Mistake
Amartya Sen (1933-) is one of the greatest scholars who studied the relationship between ethics and economics and was held the Nobel Economics Prize thanks to this. At the awarding of the Nobel prize, while talking about his studies, the motive was: “...has been highly instrumental in restoring an ethical dimension to economics and related disciplines”. Precisely the theories of this binomial taken from the work of A. Sen “Economics and Ethics” are the basis of this work. Thanks to A. Sen there is proof that there has been a strong detachment of economics from ethics and this is to be considered as one of the greatest lack of the modern economic theory. The basis of the argument of the Nobel Prize winner is the idea that economy can be made more productive in paying more attention to ethical considerations which determine human beings' behaviour and judgement. According to A. Sen one of the origins of economics is particularly the ethical one which dates back to Aristotle (384 ac-322 ac).
Economia, ambiente e sviluppo sostenibile
Gli impatti ambientali e il mancato rispetto dell’habitat in cui viviamo costituiscono un danno costoso che si ripercuote con criticità sulla nostra salute e sulla tutela della biodiversità in genere. Prenderne atto e far sì che la presa di coscienza in t
The Classic Utilitarianism and the Ethical Economics
While in Germany I. Kant's ethics rose and accrued, in England utilitarianism matured. This line of thinking which developed between the end of the seventeenth century and the end of the eighteenth century, will be defined classic utilitarianism. This wording is important to be able to distinguish it from the utilitarianism of the twentieth century. A few of the most important authors of the classic utilitarianism are: Jeremy Bentham, John Stuart Mill and Henry Sidgwick. Utilitarianism is not tied to philosophical aspects but is also adopted in other disciplines such as economics and politics. The utilitarianism born in England can be considered as an ethical trend whose main components conc...
