101 dilemas éticos


Book Description

Si en «101 problemas de filosofía» (H 4444), MARTIN COHEN retoma la aspiración original de la filosofía como actividad, como capacidad que hay que desarrollar, 101 DILEMAS ÉTICOS, escrito en el mismo tono ameno y sugerente, se interna en un dominio al que interesan las decisiones difíciles, las alternativas, el discernir qué está bien y qué está mal, y no en el plano teórico, abstracto, sino en la toma de decisiones en el mundo real. ¿Es lícito tirar una bomba atómica en una ciudad llena de niños y mujeres? ¿Tienen derechos los animales, los árboles? Ante una enfermedad irreversible, ¿deben los familiares del enfermo autorizar al médico a que lo mantenga con vida con la ayuda de máquinas? ¿Dónde está el límite entre libertad individual y seguridad colectiva? ¿Hasta dónde deben respetarse las costumbres ancestrales? ¿Hay guerras justas? El libro no pretende dar respuestas, sino plantear el dilema y ayudar al lector a que saque sus propias conclusiones, sin perder de vista, como Cohen observa, que aquellos modelos éticos que se basan en el estricto cumplimiento de una serie de normas suelen llevar a abrir las puertas al fanatismo, la intolerancia y el sufrimiento».

This work also provides a review of the ethics associated with the use of online data sources across the globe. The authors are drawn from multiple disciplines and nations, providing unique insights into the value and challenges evident in online data use for cybercrime scholarship.

Introduction to a Negative Approach to Argumentation


Book Description

This work deals with argumentation in philosophy. In the “affirmative” view of argumentation, each party thinks it is right while all other positions are wrong; argumentation is seen as guided by a set of rules that should lead to the resolution of the dispute in favor of one party. This book advances a critique of such an approach, proposing instead a negative one, the central idea of which is that each party organizes the elements of the problem concerning the definition of terms, the assumptions to be accepted, and the types of logical resources being used. The negative approach attempts to modify the ethics of philosophical discussions, moving towards pluralism, a diversity of perspectives, and the capacity to adopt a panoramic view where one’s own posture appears only as one among others. Argumentation is a ubiquitous matter; professionals of all areas will have to argue to support their positions, in diplomacy, medicine or religion and in everyday life. In any of these contexts, the distinction between an affirmative and a negative approach to argumentation matters. The book will particularly appeal to graduate and postgraduate students in philosophy, psychology, pedagogy and communication, as well as the general reader interested in philosophy.
