Curley Editeur : London [England] : Penguin Books Année de publication : 1996 Collection : Penguin classics Importance : xix, 186 p. Présentation : couv. ill. en coul.

Langues : Anglais Catégories : LITTERATURE ET LANGUE ANGLAISE:828 English literature Mots-clés : Ethics Index. décimale : 199.492 Résumé : Published shortly after his death in 1677, Ethics is undoubtedly Spinoza’s greatest work—a fully cohesive philosophical system that strives to provide a coherent picture of reality and to comprehend the meaning of an ethical life. Following a logical step-by-step format, it defines in turn the nature of God, the mind, human bondage to the emotions, and the power of understanding, moving from a consideration of the eternal to speculate upon humanity’s place in the natural order, freedom, and the path to attainable happiness. A powerful work of elegant simplicity, Ethics is a brilliantly insightful consideration of the possibility of redemption through intense thought and philosophical reflection.

Ethics of Knowledge in Scientific Narratives / Fulla Lagraa

Public ISBD Titre : Ethics of Knowledge in Scientific Narratives : Moral Conflicts in J. Robert Oppenheimer’s Life in American Prometheus Type de document : document multimédia Auteurs : Fulla Lagraa, Auteur ; Mohamed Naoumi, Directeur de thèse Editeur : Laghouat : University Amar Telidji - Department of English Année de publication : 2025 Importance : 57 p. Langues : Anglais Catégories : THESES :20 Langue et litterature anglaise Mots-clés : Ethics  Knowledge  Scientific  Narratives  Moral Conflicts  J.Robert Oppenheimer  American  Prometheus Résumé : Knowledge has always played a dual role in human history, serving both as a source of progress and as a cause of destruction. This dissertation investigates the ethical dimension of knowledge by examining the life of J. Robert Oppenheimer as represented in American Prometheus and contrasting it with Albert Einstein’s moral stance. The central problem addressed is whether knowledge can exist independently of virtue. To explore this issue, the study adopts a qualitative literary–philosophical approach. Aristotle’s virtue ethics—particularly the concepts of the Golden Mean, phronēsis (practical wisdom), and eudaimonia (human flourishing)—serves as the primary theoretical framework. The biography American Prometheus is used as the main text, supported by additional works on ethics and science. The findings reveal that Oppenheimer, despite his intellectual brilliance, represents the tragedy of knowledge pursued without virtue, while Einstein illustrates knowledge guided by moral responsibility. The study concludes that knowledge is never morally neutral; it must always be connected to virtue if it is to serve humanity responsibly note de thèses : Master literature and civilization Ethics of Knowledge in Scientific Narratives : Moral Conflicts in J.

Travel and Ethics / Charles Forsdick

Public ISBD Titre : Travel and Ethics : Theory and Practice Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Charles Forsdick, Editeur scientifique ; Corinne Fowler, Editeur scientifique ; Ludmilla Kostova, Editeur scientifique Editeur : New York : Routledge Année de publication : 2014 Collection : Routledge Research in Travel Writing Importance : 268 p. Format : 24 cm. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-415-99539-9 Langues : Anglais Mots-clés : Travel  Ethics Résumé : Despite the recent increase in scholarly activity regarding travel writing and the accompanying proliferation of publications relating to the form, its ethical dimensions have yet to be theorized with sufficient rigour. Drawing from the disciplines of anthropology, linguistics, literary studies and modern languages, the contributors in this volume apply themselves to a number of key theoretical questions pertaining to travel writing and ethics, ranging from travel-as-commoditization to encounters with minority languages under threat. Taken collectively, the essays assess key critical legacies from parallel disciplines to the debate so far, such as anthropological theory and postcolonial criticism. Also considered, and of equal significance, are the ethical implications of the form's parallel genres of writing, such as ethnography and journalism. As some of the contributors argue, innovations in these genres have important implications for the act of theorizing travel writing itself and the mode and spirit in which it continues to be conducted. In the light of such innovations, how might ethical theory maintain its critical edge? Note de contenu : Table of Contents Part One.
