English | ISBN: 0192846000 | 2021 | 224 pages | EPUB | 772 KB
Wrongdoing and the Moral Emotions provides an account of how we might effectively address wrongdoing given challenges to the legitimacy of anger and retribution that arise from ethical considerations and from concerns about free will. The issue is introduced in Chapter 1. Chapter 2 asks how we might conceive of blame without retribution, and proposes an account of blame as moral protest, whose function is to secure forward-looking goals such as the moral reform of the wrongdoer and reconciliation in relationships. Chapter 3 considers whether it’s possible to justify effectively dealing those who pose dangerous threats if they do not deserve to be harmed, and contends that wrongfully posing a threat is the core condition for the legitimacy of defensive harming. Chapter 4 provides an account of how to treat criminals without a retributive justification for punishment, and argues for an account in which the right of self-defense provides justification for measures such as preventative detention. Chapter 5 considers how we might forgive if wrongdoers don’t basically deserve the pain of being resented, which forgiveness would then renounce, and proposes that forgiveness be conceived instead as renunciation of the stance of moral protest. Chapter 6 considers how personal relationships might function without retributive anger having a role in responding to wrongdoing, and contends that the stance of moral protest, supplemented with non-retributive emotions, is sufficient. Chapter 7 surveys the options for theistic and atheistic attitudes regarding the fate of humanity in a deterministic universe, and defends an impartial hope for humanity.

Free Download Kapitalmarktfaktor Moral?: Kursimplikation ethisch relevanter Aspekte auf dem Kapitalmarkt By Jens W. Hawliczek (auth.)
2008 | 456 Pages | ISBN: 3834908630 | PDF | 7 MB
Ökonomie und Ethik standen sich lange konträr gegenüber, jedoch wurde bislang kein Versuch unternommen, den Einfluss moralischer Präferenzen auf Unternehmensaktivitäten sowie auf Kapitalmarktkurse modellbasiert nachzuweisen. Jens Hawliczek zeigt innerhalb eines geschlossenen Theorieansatzes auf, welchen Einfluss moralische Konsumenten und Investorpräferenzen für den Shareholder Value haben und überträgt seine Ergebnisse in ein eigenes kapitalmarkttheoretisches Gleichgewichtsmodell. In seiner empirischen event study untersucht Hawliczek die Auswirkungen einer Aufnahme in den Dow Jones STOXX Sustainability Index und findet hierbei weitere Belege für die signifikanten Kurseinflüsse, die moralische Präferenzen ausüben. Er kann somit eine systematische Abbildung spezifischer moralischer Informationen in Aktienkursen nachweisen.

Free Download Barbara Herman, "The Moral Habitat"
English | ISBN: 0192896350 | 2022 | 272 pages | PDF | 2 MB
In The Moral Habitat, Barbara Herman offers a new and systematic interpretation of Kant’s moral and political philosophy. The study begins with an investigation of some understudied imperfect duties which, surprisingly, tell us some important but generally unnoticed facts about what it is to be a moral agent. The second part of the book launches a substantial reinterpretation of Kant’s ethics as a system of duties, juridical and ethical, perfect and imperfect, that can incorporate what we learn from imperfect duties and do much more. This system of duties provides the structure for what Herman calls a moral habitat: a made environment, created by and for free and equal persons living together. It is a dynamic system, with duties from different spheres shaping and being affected by each other, each level further interpreting its core anti-subordination value. In the final part, Herman takes up some implications and applications of this moral habitat idea. From considering what would be involved, morally, in recognizing a human right to housing to some meta-ethical issues about objectivity and our responsibility for moral change, we come to appreciate the resources of this holistic agent-centered Kantian view of morality.
