The argument of radical social scientists that higher education supports the status quo is not supported by the facts. Coll teachers are more liberal than the population at large; the academy today holds a sizable community of Marxists & other radicals who deliberately engage in political proselytizing. The arguments that all teaching is indoctrination & that everyone is equally biased are false on both theoretical & factual grounds. Complete objectivity is impossible, but the scholar should strive for it. Radical academics who insist on using the classroom for the education of revolutionaries may have to be disqualified. Memories of McCarthyism in the 1950s should not be allowed to paralyze efforts to protect the probity of education in the 1980s. Failure to do so may undermine democratic values & institutions. AA.

The digital era has redefined our understanding of ethics as a multi-disciplinary phenomenon. The newness of the internet means it is still highly unregulated, which allows for rampant problems encountered by countless internet users. In order to establish a framework to protect digital citizenship, an academic understanding of online ethics is required. Multidisciplinary Approaches to Ethics in the Digital Era examines the concept of ethics in the digital environment through the framework of digitalization. Covering a broad range of topics including ethics in art, organizational ethics, and civil engineering ethics, this book is ideally designed for media professionals, sociologists, programmers, policymakers, government officials, academicians, researchers, and students.

AbstractThis article discusses the treatment of trust by Danish theologian and philosopher K.E. Løgstrup (1905‐1981). In order to contextualize Løgstrup's position, I first present some significant analyses of trust in philosophy and the social sciences. I then outline the Lutheran character of Løgstrup's political ethics against the background of Luther's view on government. Whereas Luther regards the political order as God‐given, Løgstrup sees basic trust as a given precondition for various kinds of socio‐political trust. He thus represents a Lutheran line of thought that can contribute to contemporary political discourse.

This article explores the role of money in Aristotle's understanding of justice. In the Politics, Aristotle famously critiques money; a common unit of measurement representing goods for exchange, it is the source of the unlimited pursuit of wealth that is unnatural and an obstacle to the good life. I argue, however, that Aristotle's discussion in the Politics is not exhaustive of his views on money. In the Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle's discussion of distribution, rectification and reciprocity shows that money is crucial to justice. Money initially binds citizens into a single polity, allowing an equality to emerge where none is apparent.
