Ethics, Meaning, and Market Society (Routledge Focus on Business and Management)
by Laszlo ZsolnaiThis book explores the underlying causes of the pervasive dominance of ‘unethics’ in contemporary affairs in economics, business, and society. It is argued that the state of unethics is related to the overexpansion of market and market values in all spheres of social life and human activities. A correlate of this development is the emergence of an extremely individualistic, materialistic and narcissistic mind-set that dictates the decisions and behavior of people and organizations. The author argues that art can help to overcome the dominant market metaphysics of our age, as genuine art creates models of 'poetic dwelling,' which can generate non-linear, progressive change that opens up a larger playing field for ethics. Aesthetics and ethics go hand in hand. Ethical action is not just right for its own sake, but makes the world a richer, livable and more beautiful place. Ethics, Meaning, and Market Society will be of interest to students at an advanced level, academics, researchers and professionals. It addresses the topics with regard to ethics in economics, business, and society in a contemporary context.

Ethical Wisdom: What Makes Us Good
by Mark MatousekSince the days of the first primitive tribes, we have tried to determine why one man is good and another evil. Mark Matousek arrives at the answer in Ethical Wisdom.Contrary to what we've been taught in our reason-obsessed culture, emotions are the bedrock of ethical life; without them, human beings cannot be empathic, moral, or good.But how do we make the judgment call between self-interest and caring for others? What does being good really mean? Which parts of morality are biological, which ethical? When should instinct be trusted and when does it lead us into trouble? How can we know ourselves to be good amidst the hypocrisy, fears, and sabotaging appetites that pervade our two-sided natures?Drawing on the latest scientific research and interviews with social scientists, spiritual leaders, ex-cons, altruists, and philosophers, Matousek examines morality from a scientific, sociological, and anthropological standpoint. Each chapter features a series of questions, readings, interviews, parables, and anecdotes that zoom in on a particular niche of moral inquiry, making this book both utilitarian and fun.Ethical Wisdom is an insightful and important book for readers crisscrossing their own murky moral terrain.From the Hardcover edition.
Ethical Wills: Putting Your Values on Paper
by Barry K. BainesAs evidenced in the Terri Schiavo case that made national headlines, having a living will is an essential element in ensuring that the way in which you would like to spend your last days will be respected. It informs both family and doctors of your medical treatment preferences in specific situations. An ethical will is a complementary text that communicates personal values, beliefs, blessings, and advice to relatives and to future generations. It can be more meaningful to friends and family than any material possession you could bequeath to them. Together, living and ethical wills ensure that your wishes and hopes are "on the record," not to be lost, ignored, or forgotten. Offering practical and inspirational advice for people at any stage of life, Ethical and Living Wills includes: --Three recommended writing approaches to capturing our feelings for posterity --Expert information for understanding the legal and practical issues involved in documenting your medical care and treatment preferences in commonly occurring situations --Advice on when to distribute both ethical and living wills -- Tips to protect the legacy you leave in an ethical will-preparing and caring for the document you create

Ethical Intelligence
by Bruce WeinsteinEthical intelligence may not get as much attention as other forms of "smarts," but as Bruce Weinstein shows, it is the most practical, valuable, and even courageous form, determining success on the job, ful?llment in relationships, and sense of self-worth. After reviewing the ?ve basic ethical principles agreed upon by cultures and religious traditions around the world and throughout time, Weinstein shows readers how to develop their ethics IQ by applying these principles in daily life. Real-world examples and interviews -- with CEOs, athletes, celebrities, and political leaders -- illustrate ethics in action, and their absence. Most strikingly, Weinstein shows that ethical principles aren't just good; they are good for us, bene?ting our health, happiness, and prosperity. While ethical ignorance grabs headlines, it is ethical intelligence that creates the most ful?lling life.
Eternal Life and A Course in Miracles: A Path to Eternity in the Essential Text
by Jon MundyThe acclaimed author and spiritual teacher explores the concept of eternal life through the teachings of A Course in Miracles.You do not live here. We are trying to reach your real home. We are trying to reach the place where you are truly welcome. We are trying to reach God.—A Course in Miracles W-49.4:5 There is no bigger mystery, nothing more compelling than the desire to know about “life after life.” Jon Mundy, the respected longtime teacher and interpreter of A Course in Miracles, now investigates that enigma, using insights from the Course on mortality, death, and the afterlife. Mundy discusses facing death and learning to let go, the ephemeral nature of the physical body and the eternal reality of the mind, and the reawakening of our Spirit as the one, true home. It’s a book filled with hope—and a way to alleviate our fear of death.

He will cradle us and redeem every tear we cry."

Through the moments in time that Jill Kelly recounts, readers will recognize the daily reality and eternal value of God's plan for their own lives.

Aunque los consejos de estudio aquí presentados no substituirán al esfuerzo necesario para obtener buenas notas y pasar las pruebas y exámenes, cada idea valiosa dirigida a esos objetivos es muy bienvenida, ya que el proceso de aprendizaje es, frecuentemente, bastante cansado. En este libro, compilamos en la primera parte, las orientaciones básicas para que los estudiantes se desenvuelvan mejor en las tareas que les competen; y, en la segunda parte, aportamos consejos específicos, así como estrategias para poner en práctica un "plan de emergencia" para exámenes.
El Estoicismo Hoy, Escritos Selectos (Volumen I)
by Patrick Ussher Juan Carlos BonillaFundada por Zenón, el estoicismo atrajo a sus filas a hombres de la estatura de Séneca, el abogado, Epicteto, el anterior esclavo, y Marco Aurelio, el emperador, quienes resaltan como estrellas de la primera nova. Sus escritos, sean las Cartas de Séneca, los Discursos de Epicteto, o las Meditaciones de Marco Aurelio, inspiran, elevan y ennoblecen. El título de esta segunda edición tiene dos significantes: ‘estoicismo’ y ‘hoy’, lo cual sugiere que el estoicismo ateniense antiguo – esa escuela de filosofía helenística práctica – aún tiene algo que decirnos hoy. Los estoicos lucharon contra el sufrimiento; querían conformar su voluntad al mundo, deseaban cultivar la virtud para florecer. Creían firmemente que el comportamiento significaba más que las palabras. Consideraban la filosofía menos como una disciplina arcana, académica, teórica o difícil y más como una forma de vida para aquellos que estaban enamorados de la Sabiduría (Sophia) y el Bien (Agathon). Este libro refleja y representa una amplia variedad de temas, desde la ética estoica y las emociones hasta la paternidad, los sentimientos y Viktor Frankl; desde los principios estoicos y el ‘mindfulness’ hasta la filosofía práctica, la crianza, la psicoterapia y las cárceles; desde Star Trek y Sócrates hasta los abogados estoicos, la literatura y la vida en general. Como tal, hay algo para todos en esta compilación ecléctica.
Estoicismo e a Arte da Felicidade
by David FidelerOs estoicos preocupavam-se intensamente com a pergunta: o que é necessário para viver a melhor vida possível? Se os humanos conseguissem responder a essa pergunta, acreditavam eles, poderiam viver vidas felizes e tranquilas — ainda que o mundo parecesse louco e descontrolado. Isto fez do estoicismo uma filosofia muito prática e também explica o seu reaparecimento atual, pois o nosso tempo — social, político, económico e ambiental — também parece louco e descontrolado.» O estoicismo, a mais influente filosofia do Império Romano, oferece novas formas para desenvolvermos o nosso caráter perante o mundo imprevisível em que vivemos. Amplamente reconhecido como o mais talentoso escritor estoico, Séneca ensina-nos a viver uma vida autêntica e com propósito, a ultrapassar a dor e a transformar a adversidade em oportunidades de crescimento. Esta obra explora as ideias principais do pensamento estoico, demonstrando porque são hoje mais atuais do que nunca. Oito ensinamentos fundamentais - «Viver de acordo com a natureza» para encontrar a felicidade. - A excelência do caráter interior de cada um é o único bem verdadeiro. - Algumas coisas estão inteiramente sob o nosso controlo, enquanto outras não. - Embora não possamos controlar o que nos acontece, podemos controlar a nossa crítica interna e a forma como respondemos aos eventos da vida. - Quando algo negativo sucede, não devemos surpreender-nos, mas ver isso como uma oportunidade para criar uma situação melhor. - A virtude é em si a própria recompensa. É um estado de tranquilidade mental e alegria interior. - A verdadeira filosofia envolve «progredir». - É essencial que nós, enquanto indivíduos, contribuamos para a sociedade. «Este livro é uma joia rara: simultaneamente reconfortante e desafiador, instrutivo e divertido.» Eric Weiner autor bestseller de A Geografia da Felicidade
