Food Ethics
In this first decade of the 21st century, more than 854 million people in the world are starving, while industrial nations are debating about obesity, generating energy from food plants, and a myriad of other topics many African and south Asian nations could only fathom. In this great discord, there have arisen many interdisciplinary discussions about problems in the field of applied Ethics, with regards to food, that are crossing a considerably wide spectrum of disciplines, such as: obesity, traceability, agro-food biotechnology, dairy industry, transgenic plants, novel food, bio fuels, world-trade system, etc. This book presents international discussions and information concerning food eth...

Kant-Reader
Texte sind klassisch, wenn jede Zeit sich auf ihre Art gewinnbringend an ihnen reiben kann. Dass der Philosoph Immanuel Kant zu den Klassikern gehört und seine Texte auch 200 Jahre nach seinem Tod immer noch frag-würdig sind, zeigen die Beiträge der jungen Kant-Reader, die aus je spezifischen Blickwinkeln die Philosophie Kants exemplarisch für heute erschließen. Der sowohl einführende als auch vertiefende Charakter der Beiträge macht das Buch für Einsteiger wie für Kenner gleichermaßen wertvoll. Einführung - H. W. Ingensiep, A. Eusterschulte, H. Baranzke: Ad fontes! Kant neu lesen für die Gegenwart - Was kann ich wissen? - Chr. Spahn: Was können wir (nicht) wissen? Überlegungen...
El arte de no ser egoísta
Un libro que nos anima a observar nuestro comportamiento desde una nueva perspectiva. «Quiero hacer en este libro algunas insinuaciones sobre lo que podríamos hacer mejor en la economía, la sociedad y la política. No solo se trata en ello de buena o mala disposición. Se trata de cómo puede fomentarse nuestro compromiso para con los demás, en un momento en el que nuestro modelo de sociedad está en juego como no lo estaba desde hace muchos decenios. Y de propuestas de cómo podríamos modificar las instituciones sociales de modo que hagan más fácil el bien y más difícil el mal.» R. D. Precht ¿Por qué nos resulta tan difícil ser buenos? ¿Es el ser humano bueno o malo? ¿En el f...
World Racism and Related Inhumanities
This is the first comprehensive, worldwide bibliography of racism. It contains references on some 135 countries and extends from ancient times to the present. The first part of the work consists of references dealing with single countries. More than 10,000 citations are organized according to country from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe. The second part contains references to areas or regions or to related bibliographies. Some 2,000 non-duplicated citations are provided here. While the vast majority of entries are to English-language materials, a number of German, French, Spanish, and other language items are included as well. The work concludes with an author index and a subject index. Due to the many ways racism manifests itself, this bibliography will be of great value to scholars and students from a variety of disciplines from economics and education to sociology and history.
