Intervention or Protest
Within current political, social, and ethical debates – both in academia and society – activism and how individuals should approach issues facing nonhuman animals, have become increasingly important, ‘hot’ issues. Individuals, groups, advocacy agencies, and governments have all espoused competing ideas for how we should approach nonhuman use and exploitation. Ought we proceed through liberation? Abolition? Segregation? Integration? As nonhuman liberation, welfare, and rights’ groups increasingly interconnect and identify with other ‘social justice movements’, resolutions to these questions have become increasingly entangled with questions of what justice and our ethical commitm...
New Approaches to Integration in Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy is an area that has seen huge growth in prominence and practice. The range of theoretical schools that have emerged means that practitioners are striving to amalgamate and synthesise new approaches and theories. New Approaches to Integration in Psychotherapy provides a snapshot of the latest theoretical and clinical developments in the field of integration. Eleanor O'Leary and Mike Murphy bring together contributors from a range of theoretical backgrounds who present new frameworks, theoretical integrations, clinical developments and related research. They critique existing research and provide a thorough overview of the historical development of the movement towards integratio...
Ethics in the Wake of Wittgenstein
This book brings together essays from leading scholars who, rather than taking a strictly exegetical approach, attempt to show how discussions in moral philosophy can benefit from Wittgenstein’s later philosophical work. The essays in this volume make the argument that Wittgenstein’s relevance for moral philosophy depends not only on his views about ethics, but also on the methods he introduces, on his views on the nature of philosophy and philosophical problems, and on the insights into language developed in his philosophy. They also focus on the ‘Wittgensteinian tradition’ in moral philosophy and its relation to more mainstream analytic moral philosophy, addressing how several prominent philosophers use these ideas and methods in their work. Ethics in the Wake of Wittgenstein seeks to answer the following question: Can we apply Wittgenstein’s ways of dealing with problems in logic, philosophy of language, epistemology, philosophy of mind, and philosophy of mathematics to moral philosophy as well? It will be of interest to Wittgenstein scholars and those working on current debates in moral philosophy, metaethics, and normative ethics.
Perchè le balene conoscono le lingue straniere
Gli animali sono in grado di immaginare il punto di vista dell’altro? Di avere un’idea del passato e del futuro? Di ricordare le esperienze vissute? Tutte queste sono prerogative umane o le possiedono anche altre specie? Di fatto, le scoperte più recenti sul comportamento animale costringono a riflettere sulla nostra presunta unicità e superiorità. Orche che imparano la lingua dei delfini, cani che capiscono le nostre emozioni dall’espressione del viso, piccioni che riconoscono le regole ortografiche: gli animali riescono a pensare, pianificare e comunicare, usare strumenti, provare compassione, immaginare il futuro. Alcuni hanno persino una coscienza dell’ego. Incredibile? Eppure è vero! Studi recenti hanno dimostrato e continuano a dimostrare che gli animali hanno capacità straordinarie, considerate non più inferiori a quelle umane, bensì semplicemente diverse. Perché le balene conoscono le lingue straniere ti terrà con il fiato sospeso grazie alle sue favolose storie dal mondo degli animali, sempre collegate alle ultime scoperte scientifiche, sorprendenti e divertenti.
Antitargets
This practice-oriented handbook surveys current knowledge on the prediction and prevention of adverse drug reactions related to off-target activity of small molecule drugs. It is unique in collating the current approaches into a single source, and includes several highly instructive case studies that may be used as guidelines on how to improve drug development projects. With its large section on ADME-related effects, this is key knowledge for every drug developer.
The Human Animal Earthling Identity
With The Human Animal Earthling Identity Carrie P. Freeman asks us to reconsider the devastating division we have created between the human and animal conditions, leading to mass exploitation, injustice, and extinction. As a remedy, Freeman believes social movements should collectively foster a cultural shift in human identity away from an egoistic anthropocentrism (human-centered outlook) and toward a universal altruism (species-centered ethic), so people may begin to see themselves more broadly as “human animal earthlings.” To formulate the basis for this identity shift, Freeman examines overlapping values (supporting life, fairness, responsibility, and unity) that are common in global...
