This can sometimes lead to serious difficulties when the patient on epistemological (the patient may be ignorant or misinformed), political (the patient may have political objections to a particular...

In his paper, "Haruki Murakami and the Ethics of Translation," Will Slocombe argues that despite the fact that Murakami has gained world-wide popularity recently, there has been little critical attention to his works outside of the comparatively narrow area of Japanese studies. Slocombe proposes that Murakami is too important an author to be limited in this way because of his definition of "tra...

Game theory as long as it is a study of interdependent rational choice, can be used to explain, to predict and evaluate human behavior in contexts where the outcome of action depends on what other agents choose to do. Game theory can be made relevant to ethics and can be used in moral and political philosophy, including economics, business and public policy areas.

Scandinavian research projects in system development have traditionally put a strong emphasis on user participation as a strategy for increasing working life democracy. The article analyses a few of these projects with respect to this goal.

"Ethics" is used as a label for a new kind of expertise in the field of science and technology. At the same time, it is not clear what ethical expertise consists in and what its political status in modern democracies can be. Starting from the "participatory turn" in recent social research and policy, we will argue that bioethical reasoning has to include public views of and attitudes towards bi...
