In care ethics, caring is seen to be embedded in practice and locally contingent. However, despite a large and thriving literature on care practices as they vary across the globe, the implications of the different meanings and geohistories of care for the ethics of care have hardly been addressed. Rather, most theorisations of care ethics have implicitly conceptualised care as a universal pract...

in this paper, the writers try to compare two authors, the iranian leftist, bozorg alavi (1904-1997) and the polish joseph conrad (1857-1924). although these two writers have different attitudes to socialism and the question of revolution, both share romantic idealism and a tragic sense of personal and social life. moreover, they both are precursors of modernist novel in their countries, and sh...

The fruitful progress of the United States could stimulate the European schools of public health and other academic institutions to develop specifically European teaching programmes for ethics that embrace both transatlantic innovations and some adaptations based on the evolution of moral values in Europe...

This paper argues that the potential of writing on computer ethics to contribute to a deeper understanding of inequalities surrounding the use of information and communications technologies is threatened by forms of technological determinism and liberalism. Such views are prevalent in professional and more popular literature, and even in policy documents, albeit expressed tacitly. Adopting this...
