Kinder als „Ersatzteillieferanten“ im rechtlichen Kontext: Von der Nabelschnurblutspende zur Selektion von Retterkindern (Veröffentlichungen des Instituts für Deutsches, Europäisches und Internationales Medizinrecht, Gesundheitsrecht und Bioethik der Universitäten Heidelberg und Mannheim #50)
by Alena JerrentrupIn einer erstmaligen Gesamtdarstellung widmet sich dieses Buch der Frage, ob und gegebenenfalls inwieweit es zulässig ist, Kinder als Spender von Körperbestandteilen heranzuziehen oder sogar eigens zu diesem Zweck zu zeugen. Den Ausgangspunkt bildet dabei das Spannungsverhältnis, dass die Kinder zwar zunächst den Befugnissen der Eltern unterstehen, diese jedoch die kindlichen Interessen nicht unberücksichtigt lassen dürfen und elterliche Entscheidungsbefugnisse überdies mit Heranwachsen des Kindes zunehmend in den Hintergrund treten müssen. Die je nach Spendekonstellation unterschiedlich intensiven Eingriffe in die kindlichen Rechte, aber auch die verschiedenen Abstufungen eines möglichen Nutzens für das Spenderkind werden herausgearbeitet und mit Blick auf ihre medizinischen, ethischen und rechtlichen Implikationen analysiert. Zudem wird geprüft, ob in Deutschland derzeit eine widerspruchsfreie Rechtslage hinsichtlich der Erlaubnis respektive des Verbots einzelner Spendeformen durch Kinder existiert oder Handlungs- bzw. Harmonisierungsbedarf besteht. Die untersuchten Rechtsgebiete erstrecken sich vom Medizin- über das Zivil-, hier insbesondere das Familienrecht, bis hin zum Verfassungsrecht; der thematische Bogen reicht dabei von Neugeborenen bis Jugendlichen, Eigen- bis Fremdspenden, Blut- bis Organspenden und schließlich bis hin zur höchst umstrittenen Selektion sog. „Retterkinder” mittels PID.

Kindly Inquisitors: The New Attacks on Free Thought
by Jonathan Rauch“A liberal society stands on the proposition that we should all take seriously the idea that we might be wrong. This means we must place no one, including ourselves, beyond the reach of criticism; it means that we must allow people to err, even where the error offends and upsets, as it often will.” So writes Jonathan Rauch in Kindly Inquisitors, which has challenged readers for more than twenty years with its bracing and provocative exploration of the issues surrounding attempts to limit free speech. In it, Rauch makes a persuasive argument for the value of “liberal science” and the idea that conflicting views produce knowledge within society. In this expanded edition of Kindly Inquisitors, a new foreword by George F. Will strikingly shows the book’s continued relevance, while a substantial new afterword by Rauch elaborates upon his original argument and brings it fully up to date. Two decades after the book’s initial publication, while some progress has been made, the regulation of hate speech has grown domestically—especially in American universities—and has spread even more internationally, where there is no First Amendment to serve as a meaningful check. But the answer to bias and prejudice, Rauch argues, is pluralism—not purism. Rather than attempting to legislate bias and prejudice out of existence or to drive them underground, we must pit them against one another to foster a more vigorous and fruitful discussion. It is this process that has been responsible for the growing acceptance of the moral acceptability of homosexuality over the last twenty years. And it is this process, Rauch argues, that will enable us as a society to replace hate with knowledge, both ethical and empirical. “It is a melancholy fact that this elegant book, which is slender and sharp as a stiletto, is needed, now even more than two decades ago. Armed with it, readers can slice through the pernicious ideas that are producing the still-thickening thicket of rules, codes, and regulations restricting freedom of thought and expression.”—George F. Will, from the foreword

Kindness Wars: The History and Political Economy of Human Caring
by Noel A. CazenaveKindness Wars rescues our understanding of kindness from the clutches of an intellectually and morally myopic popular psychology and returns it to the stage of big ideas, in keeping with the important Enlightenment-era debates about human nature and possibilities. Cazenave conceptualizes kindness not just as a benevolent feeling, a caring thought, or a generous action but as a worldview, a theory, or an ideology that explains who we are and justifies how we treat others. Here “kindness wars” refer to the millennia-old “kindness theory” and ideological conflicts over what kind of societies humans can and should have. The book’s title denotes the two types of kindness wars it analyzes, conflict over (1) whether to be kind or not (i.e., the conflicts between kindness and other societal values and ideologies) and (2) what it means to be kind (i.e., the wars within kindness over different ideas as to what it means to be kind and to whom). Using a conflict theoretical perspective, Kindness Wars examines the history of the kindness concept; its many struggles with opposing notions of our true nature and possibilities; and what the lessons of that history and those battles offer us toward the development of a large, robust, and politically engaged conceptualization of kindness.

Structured around the Six Perfections of Buddhism, this book explores these questions and more, providing heartfelt guidance on how to apply compassion in action to our relationships with animals.

Kindness in Leadership
by Michael Thomas Gay Haskins Lalit JohriIn a global climate of increasing complexity and uncertainty, there have been calls for a more responsible form of leadership in business and society. The relationship between kindness and leadership is therefore a topic of fundamental importance for our well-being as individuals, for the success of our organisations, and for the future of our global community. Kindness in Leadership is one of the first books to explore both the concept and practice of kindness in leadership and consider them in different societal and organisational settings. Its uniqueness lies in combining an innovative mix of personal views from leaders with explorations of organisational philosophies and practices. It opens with a definition of kindness and its contours and underpinnings. It then explores the importance of kindness within different organisations, parts of the world, economic strata, age groups and genders, drawing on research on organisational compassion and neuroscience. In order to support learning, each chapter is supported by a series of questions for consideration and discussion. This will be a stimulating and thought-provoking read for a wide audience of practicing managers and leaders in organisations of all shapes and sizes, for academics involved in educating for leadership, and for students aspiring to develop their own kind and compassionate leadership style.
King Leopold's Ghostwriter: The Creation of Persons and States in the Nineteenth Century
by Andrew FitzmauriceA dramatic intellectual biography of Victorian jurist Travers Twiss, who provided the legal justification for the creation of the brutal Congo Free StateEminent jurist, Oxford professor, advocate to the Archbishop of Canterbury, Travers Twiss (1809–1897) was a model establishment figure in Victorian Britain, and a close collaborator of Prince Metternich, the architect of the Concert of Europe. Yet Twiss&’s life was defined by two events that threatened to undermine the order that he had so stoutly defended: a notorious social scandal and the creation of the Congo Free State. In King Leopold&’s Ghostwriter, Andrew Fitzmaurice tells the incredible story of a man who, driven by personal events that transformed him from a reactionary to a reformer, rewrote and liberalised international law—yet did so in service of the most brutal regime of the colonial era.In an elaborate deception, Twiss and Pharaïlde van Lynseele, a Belgian prostitute, sought to reinvent her as a woman of suitably noble birth to be his wife. Their subterfuge collapsed when another former client publicly denounced van Lynseele. Disgraced, Twiss resigned his offices and the couple fled to Switzerland. But this failure set the stage for a second, successful act of re-creation. Twiss found new employment as the intellectual driving force of King Leopold of Belgium&’s efforts to have the Congo recognised as a new state under his personal authority. Drawing on extensive new archival research, King Leopold&’s Ghostwriter recounts Twiss&’s story as never before, including how his creation of a new legal personhood for the Congo was intimately related to the earlier invention of a new legal personhood for his wife.Combining gripping biography and penetrating intellectual history, King Leopold&’s Ghostwriter uncovers a dramatic, ambiguous life that has had lasting influence on international law.

Clifton-Soderstrom, North Park Theological SeminaryChristian churches across the spectrum, and Christian ethics as an academic discipline, are often guilty of evading what Jesus actually said about moral life, focusing instead on other biblical texts or traditions.

Kingfish: The Reign of Huey P. Long
by Richard D. White Jr.From the moment he took office as governor in 1928 to the day an assassin&’s bullet cut him down in 1935, Huey Long wielded all but dictatorial control over the state of Louisiana. A man of shameless ambition and ruthless vindictiveness, Long orchestrated elections, hired and fired thousands at will, and deployed the state militia as his personal police force. And yet, paradoxically, as governor and later as senator, Long did more good for the state&’s poor and uneducated than any politician before or since. Outrageous demagogue or charismatic visionary? In this powerful biography, Richard D. White, Jr., brings Huey Long to life in all his blazing, controversial glory. White taps invaluable new source material to present a fresh, vivid portrait of both the man and the Depression era that catapulted him to fame. From his boyhood in dirt-poor Winn Parish, Long knew he was destined for power–the problem was how to get it fast enough to satisfy his insatiable appetite. With cunning and crudity unheard of in Louisiana politics, Long crushed his opponents in the 1928 gubernatorial race, then immediately set about tightening his iron grip. The press attacked him viciously, the oil companies howled for his blood after he pushed through a controversial oil processing tax, but Long had the adulation of the people. In 1930, the Kingfish got himself elected senator, and then there was no stopping him.White&’s account of Long&’s heyday unfolds with the mesmerizing intensity of a movie. Pegged by President Roosevelt as &“one of the two most dangerous men in the country,&” Long organized a radical movement to redistribute money through his Share Our Wealth Society–and his gospel of pensions for all, a shorter workweek, and free college spread like wildfire. The Louisiana poor already worshiped him for building thousands of miles of roads and funding schools, hospitals, and universities; his outrageous antics on the Senate floor gained him a growing national base. By 1935, despite a barrage of corruption investigations, Huey Long announced that he was running for president. In the end, Long was a tragic hero–a power addict who squandered his genius and came close to destroying the very foundation of democratic rule. Kingfish is a balanced, lucid, and absolutely spellbinding portrait of the life and times of the most incendiary figure in the history of American politics.
Kingonomics: Twelve Innovative Currencies for Transforming Your Business and Life Inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
by Rodney SampsonWhile most know of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s sweeping dream of equality and freedom for all, what many do not realize is just how keenly focused he was on economic issues, particularly in his later years. Dr. King believed without economic opportunity, we do not have the chance to pursue happiness. It was, in fact, while planning the Poor People's March, a dramatic stand on economic issues, that his voice was forever silenced. In his final book, Dr. King posed the question, where do we go from here? The answer lies in Kingonomics, a 21st-century interpretation of his economic vision translated through the eyes of Dr. Rodney Sampson, a globally established economic innovator, business developer, and highly successful serial entrepreneur. With 12 currencies (including service, innovation, and reciprocity), Sampson takes pertinent ideas from the life and works of Dr. King and, by combining them with real-life experiences, produces a guide through which one can realize their full potential and personal power. Success does not discriminate, and the road map to it is contained in the pages of this revolutionary new work.
Kinship, Law and Politics: An Anatomy of Belonging (Law in Context)
by Joseph E. DavidWhy are we so concerned with belonging? In what ways does our belonging constitute our identity? Is belonging a universal concept or a culturally dependent value? How does belonging situate and motivate us? Joseph E. David grapples with these questions through a genealogical analysis of ideas and concepts of belonging. His book transports readers to crucial historical moments in which perceptions of belonging have been formed, transformed, or dismantled. The cases presented here focus on the pivotal role played by belonging in kinship, law, and political order, stretching across cultural and religious contexts from eleventh-century Mediterranean religious legal debates to twentieth-century statist liberalism in Western societies. With his thorough inquiry into diverse discourses of belonging, David pushes past the politics of belonging and forces us to acknowledge just how wide-ranging and fluid notions of belonging can be.
Kissing Cousins: A New Kinship Bestiary
by Frances BartkowskiSince DNA has replaced blood as the medium through which we establish kinship, how do we determine with whom we are kin? Who counts among those we care for? The distinction between these categories is constantly in flux. How do we come to decide those we may kiss and those we may kill?Focusing on narratives of kinship as they are defined in contemporary film, literature, and news media, Frances Bartkowski discusses the impact of "stories of origin" on our regard for nonhuman species. She locates the role of "totems and taboos" in forming and re-forming kinship categories-groupings that enable us to tie the personal to the social-and explores the bestiary, among the oldest of literary forms. The bestiary is the realm in which we allegorize the place of humans and other species, a menagerie encompassing animals we know as well as human-animal chimeras and other beings that challenge the "natural" order of the world. Yet advances in reproductive technologies, the mapping of genomes, and the study of primates continually destabilize these categories and recast the dynamic between the natural and the cultural.Bartkowski highlights the arbitrariness of traditional kinship arrangements and asks us to rethink our notions of empathy and ethics. She shows how current dialogues concerning ethics and desire determine contemporary attitudes toward issues of care, and suggests a new framework for negotiating connection and conflict.

Kith and Kin and the Lived Experience of Persons with Intellectual Disabilities
by Anne-Marie CallusThis book considers the ways in which the lives of persons with intellectual disability are closely interconnected with those of the persons around them. The ways in which these interconnections work and the effects they have are examined by taking a very close look at specific instances in the lives of persons with intellectual disability, taken from published research and other sources and covering various life domains, including education, employment, creative work, socialising and family life. The fourteen case-study chapters (covering Australia, France, Ireland, Italy, Malta, Spain, the UK, and the USA) focus on the interactions between the person with intellectual disability concerned and other persons. The analyses use Paul Ricoeur’s concept of the interrelational self to show how the lives and selves of persons with intellectual disability are intimately intertwined with those of the persons who come into contact with them. Furthermore, it is argued that what we learn about the deep connections between persons with intellectual disability and those who play a significant role in their lives can be applied to general human experience. What happens in each one-to-one interaction is of paramount importance. The analyses are based on Max Van Manen’s phenomenonological research approach and critical phenomenology. The innovative approach thus created provides fresh insights and a different method for carrying out research and analysis in the area.The short format of the chapters in the main part of the book makes it suitable for use on a wide range of courses in disability studies as well as in other disciplines and areas of study, such as psychology, education, legal studies and childhood studies among others. It also makes it accessible for advocates and practitioners working with persons with intellectual disability.

Klimaschutz und Nachhaltigkeit als Zielsetzungen des Personenbeförderungsrechts: Mehr als eine Absichtserklärung? (Schriftenreihe des Instituts für Klimaschutz, Energie und Mobilität)
by Vera DörrfußDurch das Gesetz zur Modernisierung des Personenbeförderungsrechts vom 16.04.2021 wurde § 1a PBefG in das PBefG neu eingefügt. Damit hat das PBefG neben der gefahrenabwehrrechtlichen Komponente mit Klimaschutz und Nachhaltigkeit eine Weitere hinzugewonnen. Die Norm ist trotz ihres mittlerweile mehr als dreijährigen Bestehens wissenschaftlich noch weitestgehend unerforscht und auch in der Praxis nicht, beziehungsweise kaum bekannt. Dabei stellen sich in ihrem Zusammenhang viele Fragen. So bleibt bei der bloßen Lektüre unklar, welchen Inhalt der abstrakt gehaltene § 1a PBefG haben soll. Es ergibt sich weder, was unter den Klimaschutz- und Nachhaltigkeitszielen zu verstehen ist, noch welche Reichweite ihrer Berücksichtigung zukommen soll. Unklar bleibt auch, ob der Gesetzgeber eine wirkliche Veränderung bei der Anwendung des PBefG und damit positive Auswirkungen auf Klima und Nachhaltigkeit herbeiführen möchte oder es sich vielmehr um sog. „Greenwashing“ handelt. Diese und noch viele weitere Fragen, nimmt die Arbeit zum Anlass, um die neue Maßgabe des PBefG, bei Anwendung des Gesetzes die Ziele des Klimaschutzes und der Nachhaltigkeit zu berücksichtigen, genauer zu untersuchen.

Klimaverantwortung: Gesellschaftsaufgabe und Bildungsauftrag
by Meike NeuhausDer Klimawandel ist eine der größten – wenn nicht sogar die größte – Herausforderung unserer Zeit. Bereits heute sind deutliche Auswirkungen auf Ökosysteme, Wirtschaft und soziokulturelle Strukturen spürbar, und es ist zu erwarten, dass diese in Zukunft weiter zunehmen werden. Dass wir Menschen maßgeblich zu diesem Problem beigetragen haben, ist inzwischen überwiegender Konsens. Auch sind sich die meisten Menschen darüber bewusst, dass Maßnahmen ergriffen werden müssen, um dem fortschreitenden Klimawandel entgegenzuwirken. Doch welche konkreten Schritte sind erforderlich? Und wer trägt dafür die Verantwortung? Diesen und anderen Fragen widmen sich die interdisziplinären Beiträge in diesem Buch. Die Diskussion wird ergänzt durch praxisnahe Unterrichtsbeispiele sowie Vorschläge für die Implementierung einer Bildung für nachhaltige Entwicklung (BNE) in der Lehrkräfteausbildung.
Klimawandel in der Wirtschaft: Warum wir ein Bewusstsein für Dringlichkeit brauchen
by Alexandra HildebrandtErfahren Sie, was Unternehmen und Privatpersonen aktiv für den Klimaschutz tun könnenDas Buch widmet sich der Frage, warum wir ein Bewusstsein für Dringlichkeit brauchen und plädiert für einen bewussteren Umgang mit unserer Zukunft. Es sollen keine weiteren Ängste geschürt werden, sondern verdeutlicht werden, dass die Krise eine enorme Chance ist, weil sie dazu führt, das Leben wieder bewusster wahrzunehmen und zu erkennen, dass ein „Weiter so“ nicht möglich ist. Folgende Themenschwerpunkte stehen im Fokus der Beiträge: Der Klimawandel: Einfluss auf Wirtschaft und GesellschaftKlimawandel der GenerationenUnternehmerische Nachhaltigkeit - aus der Praxis für die PraxisÖkonomie und Nachhaltigkeit - Management und NachhaltigkeitsberichterstattungWissen als Basis für VeränderungenEs wird gezeigt, warum uns nur eine ganzheitliche Verbindung hilft, Antworten auf die großen existenziellen Fragen zu finden, die sich angesichts globaler Bedrohungen auftun. Die Beiträge wurden durch die Fridays-for-Future-Bewegung beeinflusst, die belegt, wie wichtig es ist, dass sich nicht nur Wirtschaft, Wissenschaften und Kultur ergänzen, sondern auch alle Generationen wertschätzend miteinander kooperieren.Das Buch richtet sich an Manager und Führungskräfte, Wissenschaftler und Journalisten, Wirtschafts- und Umweltverbände sowie die Fridays-for-Future-Bewegung und zeigt neue, praxisorientierte Perspektiven auf die Herausforderung des Umweltschutzes auf.Dieses Buch zeigt auf, wie jeder Einzelne zum Umweltschutz beitragen kann, indem er bewusste und klimafreundliche Entscheidungen trifft.stellt umfassende Maßnahmen und Programme für Unternehmen vor, die sie beim Klimaschutz unterstützen.schlägt die Brücke zwischen Theorie und Praxis, indem gezeigt wird, wie Absichten und Denkweisen in konkrete Handlungen umgesetzt werden können.weist nach, dass Nachhaltigkeit nichts Gestriges ist, sondern etwas Dringliches, bei dem es auch um vernetzte Ansätze, um fähige Könner und Meister, Praktiker, Wissenschaftler, Ingenieure, Techniker und Kreative geht, die gemeinschaftlich Lösungen für die Herausforderungen der Gegenwart finden.Anhand von Generationenkonzepten, konkreten Handlungsmaßnahmen, zahlreichen Erfahrungsberichten und Praxisbeispielen wird dargestellt, dass die verschiedenen Generationen aufeinander angewiesen sind und gesellschaftliche Probleme nur gemeinsam gelöst werden können.
