The Tapestry of Ethics

Pasquale De Marco

Maison d'édition: Publishdrive

Synopsis

Ethics is a tapestry woven from the threads of different cultures, traditions, and beliefs. It is a complex and ever-changing field of study, but at its core, ethics is about the search for the good life and the right way to live.

This book is an invitation to explore the tapestry of ethics. It takes readers on a journey through the major ethical traditions of East and West, from ancient Greece to modern China. Along the way, readers will encounter a diverse cast of philosophers, religious leaders, and social reformers who have grappled with the big questions of life: What is the meaning of life? What is right and wrong? How should we live?

The book begins with an introduction to the basic concepts of ethics, such as morality, values, and virtues. It then explores the major Western ethical traditions, including ancient Greek ethics, Judeo-Christian ethics, and modern Western ethics. The book also examines three non-Western ethical traditions: Indian Buddhist ethics, Chinese Confucian ethics, and Chinese Taoist ethics.

The book concludes with a discussion of the challenges facing ethics in the 21st century. These challenges include the rise of artificial intelligence, the global climate crisis, and the increasing interconnectedness of the world. The book argues that ethics is more important than ever in a world that is facing these complex and unprecedented challenges.

This book is an essential resource for anyone interested in learning more about ethics. It is written in a clear and accessible style, and it is filled with examples and case studies that help to illustrate the ethical concepts that are discussed. The book is also a valuable resource for students of philosophy, religion, and social studies.

**The Tapestry of Ethics** is a book that will challenge your assumptions, expand your horizons, and inspire you to think deeply about the meaning of life. It is a book that will stay with you long after you finish reading it.

Attraction Love Sex - The Inside...

Simon LeVay

Sex, after hunger, may be the most powerful motivating force in our lives. It drives us to seek intimate contact with others and to form relationships that may be fleeting or lifelong, blissful or troubled. Yet many mysteries surround sex and sexuality: Why don't we reproduce by virgin birth? Why does so much of our sexual behavior have nothing to do with reproduction? Why isn't everyone heterosexual? How does the brain create sexual arousal? How do sexual kinks develop? Is porn harmful? What is the relationship between sex and love? 
 
 
 
In Attraction, Love, Sex, Simon LeVay introduces listeners to a memorable cast of researchers trying to answer these questions and many more. A biologist dredges a New Zealand lake for asexual mud snails. Psychologists measure whether eating a good meal changes a man's idea of female beauty. Physiologists place lovers in brain scanners. Geneticists reconstruct the sex crimes of Genghis Khan. Neuroscientists create mice whose sexual behavior can be switched on and off. A zoologist traps and releases 260,000 voles and launches a new science of love. 
 
 
 
LeVay distills vast expertise on the biology and psychology of sex into an engaging and easy-to-understand survey. This book reveals how scientists are unraveling the secrets of sex and, in the process, shattering many traditional ideas and prejudices.

We Thought It Would Be Heaven -...

Blair Sackett, Annette Lareau

Resettled refugees in America face a land of daunting obstacles where small things—one person, one encounter—can make all the difference in getting ahead or falling behind. 
 
 
  
Fleeing war and violence, many refugees dream that moving to the United States will be like going to Heaven. Instead, they enter a deeply unequal American society, often at the bottom. Through the lived experiences of families resettled from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Blair Sackett and Annette Lareau reveal how a daunting obstacle course of agencies and services can drastically alter refugees' experiences building a new life in America. 
 
 
  
In these stories of struggle and hope, as one volunteer said, "you see the American story." For some families, minor mistakes create catastrophes—food stamps cut off, educational opportunities missed, benefits lost. Other families, with the help of volunteers and social supports, escape these traps and take steps toward reaching their dreams. Engaging and eye-opening, We Thought It Would Be Heaven brings listeners into the daily lives of Congolese refugees and offers guidance for how activists, workers, and policymakers can help refugee families thrive.

The Mother Next Door - Medicine...

Andrea Dunlop, Mike Weber

This program is read by the author.A groundbreaking work of narrative nonfiction that investigates Munchausen by Proxy from the host and creator of the award-winning true crime podcast Nobody Should Believe Me."I devoured this chilling yet critically important book in 48 hours, unable to believe what I was reading. Dunlop and Weber have written a powerful, unflinching deep dive into our country’s systemic failure to protect children from medical abuse." —Stephanie Wrobel, bestselling author of Darling Rose GoldNo bond is more sacred than that between a mother and child. And no one is more sympathetic than a mother whose child faces a life-threatening illness. But what if the mother is the cause of the illness? What if the sympathy is the point?Munchausen by proxy (MBP) has fascinated and horrified both professionals and the general public since this disturbing form of child abuse was first identified. But even as the public has been captivated by these tales of abuse and deception, there remains widespread misinformation and confusion about MBP. Are these mothers unfeeling psychopaths, or sick women who need help? And more important, how can we protect the children whose lives are at stake?The Mother Next Door offers a groundbreaking look at MBP from an unlikely duo: a Seattle novelist whose own family was torn apart by it, and the Texas detective who has worked on more medical child abuse cases than anyone in the nation. Readers ride along on three high-stakes MPB investigations; through riveting reporting and shocking stories from the family members, friends, and doctors caught in the blast zone of these unthinkable acts, a twisted portrait of motherhood and deceit is revealed.With help from some of the top MBP experts in the world, Dunlop and Weber uncover the complex maze of psychological, systemic, and cultural issues that compound MBP and offer solutions for how we might find our way out.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.
