Ethics in the First Person
Ethics in the First Person is the first comprehensive guide to teaching and learning practical ethics to be published in more than 25 years. This book provides the historical context for the study of practical ethics in the Twenty-First Century, but focuses on the teaching and learning of practical ethics as a first-person, present-tense activity. Practical ethics instruction can be expected to bring about more sophisticated decision-making only if students and teachers keep cognizant of their own values, beliefs, and processes for thinking through ethical issues. Institutions of higher education and the ethics class itself provide often-ignored opportunities for ethical analysis. The book closes with an analysis of how ethics serves as a bridge across cultures. A resource for teachers of ethics across the curriculum, this book may also be used as a supplemental text for upper level undergraduate and graduate students, or as a guide for self-study.
Refiguring Universities in an Age of Neoliberalism
This book examines the role of compassion in refiguring the university. Plotting a reimagining of the university through care, other-regard, and a commitment to act in response to the suffering of others, the author draws on various humanities disciplines to illuminate the potential of compassion in the campus. The book asks how the sector can reclaim the university from the tides of neoliberalism, inequalities and increased workloads, and which moral principles and competencies would need to be championed and instilled to build inclusive citizenship and positive connection with others. A value that is too scarcely taught, experienced, or advocated in contexts of higher education, compassion is reframed as an essential pillar of the university and a means to an epistemically just campus and curricula.
Human Development II
Human Development II offers an overview of a wide range of contemporary issues in education and society, including emotional intelligence; various models of education; family, leadership; experiential learning; personal development; recreational activities; the arts; philosophy; music; and media. These topics are all currently subject to research and debate, but have been prevalent throughout history, impacting on different fields, including education, communication, and health. It is vital to understand these topics in order to live in a society in which one must interact with other people and regulate one’s emotions. All the contributors to this volume investigate and discuss how these issues affect society in general, reflecting on the causes of the functioning of the world. All chapters in this book provide a full and clear frame of reference for several problems, issues and disciplines discussed here, offering professional and experienced insights from a range of disciplines including psychology and arts. As such, this book represents a highly useful and contemporary manual for both students and the general public interested in the social sciences.
Worldly Virtue
Worldly Virtue argues that general discussions of virtue need to be complemented by attention to specific virtues. Each chapter addresses a single virtue, most of them traditional (e.g., honesty, generosity, and humility), and sometimes newly framed (“earthly virtue,” for instance, and “open hope.”) The final essay breaks ground by identifying virtues specific to the fact that we age. The book draws upon various spiritual traditions, especially Christianity and Buddhism, for what they value and the practices that sustain those values; at times it identifies ways in which each can mislead. The book also draws from contemporary sciences, natural but especially behavioral. Anthropologis...
La pedagogía de la alteridad
La pedagogía de la alteridad tiene su origen en la ética de Levinas, entendida como imposibilidad de desprendernos del otro sin arriesgar nuestra identidad como humanos; es un viaje al otro sin retorno; renunciar a sí mismo para encontrarse con el otro, sin más equipaje que la propia fragilidad de quien se siente necesitado de acogida y cuidado. En esta pedagogía, el educador y el educando emprenden un nuevo camino de humanización. El porqué de esta pedagogía hay que buscarlo en responder del otro en su contexto. Por ello, no se invocan argumentos sobre los derechos humanos, sino sobre acoger y compadecerse del otro necesitado. Este es el ámbito de la pedagogía de la alteridad: dar...

Liderazgo y educación
Gracias a esta edición digital, compendio de las aportaciones de numerosos especialistas, se constata que la temática del liderazgo está omnipresente en nuestro contexto cotidiano, ya sea como causa o como consecuencia de estados de cosas que nos ocupan y/o preocupan; de situaciones a las que nos enfrentamos y que desearíamos mantener, potenciar o transformar; de realidades que vislumbramos como retos y cuya presencia atisbamos como necesaria. Está claro, la temática o problemática del liderazgo es algo constatable y relevantemente vigente. El liderazgo emerge, brota con fuerza desde sus diferentes aristas o dimensiones, desde los diversos ángulos desde los que puede ser contemplado, entendido y valorado; desde la totalidad de referentes personales y grupales; desde los vectores axiológicos que puede comportar; desde las diversas formas que puede ser visto y concebido.
