"In 2007 when I was a senior research fellow at The Center for American Progress, a progressive policy think tank in Washington, D.C., I spent some time on the Environmental Policy Team. This team had as it's goal the creation of various papers that would be listed on the Center's website and distributed to appropriate committees in Congress to influence public policy. At the time it did seem like the country and the world was on the way to combatting the causes of global warming: CO2 and other chemical emissions that were creating a "greenhouse" effect that was moving us to climate disaster. In 2009 there was the Copenhagen Climate Change Conference in which plans were laid for creating a cooperative international structure for implementing some of the policy recommendations of the Kyoto Protocol (1997). Progress was made to identify options for various countries to play their part in this project (the details to be negotiated later) and a goal was set to respond to climate change in the short and long term. To this end, a "red line" was established to avoid allowing the average global temperature to rise 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. Procedurally, developed countries like the United States promised certain levels of funding so that the goals might

"Basic Ethics presents for a wide range of students and other interested readers the questions raised in thinking about ethical problems, the answers offered by moral philosophy, and the means to better integrate both into the reader's world and personal life. It takes up what the author calls a "worldview theory," which shows readers how to begin with the values and understanding of the world that they already possess in order to transition from there to new levels of increasing ethical awareness. Updates to the Third Edition include the more thorough integration of feminist ethics into the principal theoretical traditions, a new chapter on the ethical responsibility to be well informed of current events, expanded coverage of human rights, and additional opportunities on how to use ethical reasoning in thinking about one's own life and about public policy"--

Introduction: Using Fiction to teach Philosophical Ethics -- Part One: A very short textbook on ethics with primary readings -- Chapter One: First Order Metaethical Principles: Boylan's Philosophical Work on Ethics and Personhood Theory -- Chapter Two: Virtue Ethics with selections from Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics -- Chapter Three: Utilitarianism with a selection from Mill's Utilitarianism -- Chapter Four: Deontology with a selection from Kant's Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals -- Part Two: The Novels -- Chapter Five: Rainbow Curve -- Chapter Six: To the Promised Land -- Chapter Seven: Naked Reverse -- Appendix: Sample Syllabus and Paper Rubric

This book offers a unique method for teaching ethics and social/political philosophy by combining primary texts and resource material along with three philosophical novels so that students can apply the abstract principles to real-life situations. Boylan provides a preface to introduce instructors in how to effectively put together a course in ethics using fiction. A sample syllabus and sample assignments are provided. Students often turn-off when confronted with abstract ethical principles, alone. This book allows interaction with philosophical novels that provide real-life situations that mirrors applying normative principles to lived experience. Students will be drawn into this realism and their engagement with the material will be significantly enhanced. This is an innovative textbook for teachers and students of general philosophy, ethics, business ethics, social and political philosophy, as well as students of literature and philosophy

This book examines the origins of ancient Greek Science using the vehicles of blood, blood vessels, and the heart. Careful attention to biomedical writers in the ancient world as well as to philosophical and literary work of writers prior to the Hippocratic authors produce an interesting story of how science progressed and the critical context in which important methodological questions were addressed. The end result is an account that arises from debates that are engaged and ""solved"" by different writers. These stopping points form the foundation for Harvey and for modern philosophy of biol

This timely book by internationally regarded scholar of ethics and social/political philosophy, Michael Boylan, focuses on the history, application and significance of human rights in the West and China. Boylan engages the key current philosophical debates prevalent in human rights discourse today and draws them together to argue for the existence of natural, universal human rights. Arguing against the grain of mainstream philosophical beliefs, Boylan asserts that there is continuity between human rights and natural law and that human beings require basic, essential goods for minimum action. These include food, clean water and sanitation, clothing, shelter and protection from bodily harm, including basic healthcare. The achievement of this goal, Boylan demonstrates, will require significant resource allocation and creative methods of implementation involving public and private institutions. Combining technical argument with four fictional narratives about human rights, the book invites readers to engage with the most important aspects of the discipline
