Valuing Life
ISBN: 9780691636504 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 306 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Abortion, euthanasia, capital punishment, war, genetic engineering and fetal experimentation, environmental and animal rights--these topics inspire some of today's most heated public controversies. And it is fashionable to pursue these debates in terms of the negative query "Under what conditions may life be disregarded or terminated?" John Kleinig asks a different, more positive question: What may be said in behalf of life? Looking at the full range of appeals to life's value, he considers a variety of issues. Is livingness as such to be affirmed and respected? Is there an ascending order...

On Loyalty and Loyalties: The Contours of a Problematic Virtue
ISBN: 9780199371266 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 326 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Deep friendship may express profound loyalty, but so too may virulent nationalism. What can and should we say about this Janus-faced virtue of the will? This volume explores at length the contours of an important and troubling virtue -- its cognates, contrasts, and perversions; its strengths and weaknesses; its awkward relations with universal morality; its oppositional form and limits; as well as the ways in which it functions in various associative connections, such as friendship and familial relations, organizations and professions, nations, countries, and religious tradition.

The Ethics of Policing
ISBN: 9780521484336 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 348 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book is the most systematic, comprehensive and philosophically sophisticated discussion of police ethics yet published. It offers an in-depth analysis of the ethical values that police, as servants of the community, should uphold as they go about their task. The book considers the foundations and purpose of police authority in broad terms but also tackles specific problems such as accountability, the use of force, deceptive stratagems used to gain information or trap the criminally intentioned, corruption, and the tension between personal values and communal concerns.

Jury Ethics: Juror Conduct and Jury Dynamics
ISBN: 9781594511493 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Trial by jury is one of the most important aspects of the U.S. legal system. A reflective look at how juries actually function brings out a number of ethical questions surrounding juror conduct and jury dynamics: Do citizens have a duty to serve as jurors? Might they seek exemptions? Is it acceptable for jurors to engage in after-hours research? Might a juror legitimately seek to "nullify" the outcome to express disapproval of the law? Under what conditions might jurors make a valid choice to hold out against or capitulate to their fellow jurors? Is it acceptable to form alliances? After...

Punishment and Desert
ISBN: 9789401186186 / Angielski / Miękka / 1973 / 161 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Superficial acquaintance with the literature on punishment leaves a fairly definite impression. There are two approaches to punishment - retributive and utilitarian - and while some attempts may be made to reconcile them, it is the former rather than the latter which requires the reconciliation. Taken by itself the retributive approach is primitive and unenlightened, falling short of the rational civilized humanitarian values which we have now acquired. Certainly this is the dominant impression left by 'popular' discussions of the subject. And retributive vs. utilitarian seems to be the mould...

Professional Law Enforcement Codes: A Documentary Collection
ISBN: 9780313287015 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Although law enforcement codes have a history that parallels most other recent occupational and professional codes, they have been almost completely ignored in the literature of occupational and professional ethics. This volume fills that gap and offers teachers in criminal justice ethics and law enforcement practitioners a rich selection of materials that have emerged in the course of law enforcement professionalization. The book's historical and international orientation reveals something of the development and variety of code formation. A detailed introduction covers the role of codes...

The Lord's Song: The Basis, Function and Significance of Choral Music in Chronicles
ISBN: 9780567024176 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Why do the books of Chronicles regard the performance of choral music as an integral part of the sacrificial ritual at the temple, despite the lack of sanction for it in the Pentateuch? And why do they stress that it must be synchronized with the presentation of the regular public burnt offering at the temple? These and other questions are answered in this challenging new volume. After an introductory chapter defining the scope of the study as an analysis of the ritual function and theological significance of sacred song, the author examines the divine institution and royal establishment...
