The purpose of this thesis is to develop knowledge about what responsible leadership is, as well as develop a theoretical model for responsible leadership in the perspective of caring science. The study takes as its point of departure the research tradition in caring science developed by Katie Eriksson and her colleagues at Åbo Akademi University in Vasa. The overarching methodological approach is Gadamer's (2004) hermeneutic philosophy. The scientific interest is mainly theoretical. The theory model is 'tested' in a clinical context in two hospitals. This implied that leaders were taught about the developed model. Thereafter the leaders 'translated' it into their own language and gave it meaning in their clinical context. The clinical part of the study can be regarded as a moment of application research in the sense of hermeneutic. Responsible leadership is treated in this thesis as aas a part of human existence and the model is not explicitly associated with leadership in organizations.

This article discusses the historical background & content of Lenin's work on imperialism as the most evolved form of capitalism. This work, originally published in 1916, has captured renewed attention because of events on the international socio-economic stage. Lenin's distinction between capitalistic imperialism & military imperialism became a determining factor in the self-understanding of Marxists throughout the world, particularly in under-developed regions. In addition, this distinction also became a pivotal factor in Russian understanding of the revolution as a truly social revolution, thereby acting as a critical instrument in the country's understanding of its own history. Lenin's thinking is here also considered from a contemporary standpoint in which capitalism exists on a global scale. His view that social & political life in any given place would become increasingly dependent on what developments took place elsewhere is thereby suggested to be well ahead of its time in this respect.

"Shame is a deeply problematic emotion that causes much trouble and pain in our lives, interrupting our immediate mode of being in the world and making us feel bad about who we are. Nevertheless, we use it in many contexts to discipline others, impede personal development, regulate participation in communities, and instil in others commonly accepted norms and values. All these uses of shame suggest to some that it is a phenomenon with positive attributes, despite its darker sides.
Many who study shame do so from the vantage point of a single scholarly discipline. This book is an exception. Its authors approach shame from multiple perspectives, seeking a more nuanced picture of its various roles in human life and its impact on social interaction.
This book explores shame from an interdisciplinary perspective that looks into psychology, philosophy, evolutionary theory, theology and religious studies, and moral theory. The theoretical insights are then applied to understand shame's workings in relation to embodiment, religion, and morality. Hence, Shame's Unwelcome Interruption and Responsive Movements. Body, Religion, Morality – an Interdisciplinary Study will be of value to anyone who is interested in approaching shame from a comprehensive, scholarly perspective."
"Human Worth – A Challenge for School and Society addresses the question of whether all human beings' lives have equal value. To answer, the authors examine how we should understand the value of human life. Human worth and equality are both fundamental principles in education, but there are countless examples of how difficult these concepts can be in actual practice. There is also scant discussion within the school system that touches on our understanding of what human worth in school is. Insofar as school is society's most important vehicle for human learning and development, we view understanding human worth as a challenge our entire society faces.
This book is an anthology in nine chapters about human worth in such typically 'humanity-oriented' school subjects as pedagogics, philosophy, social studies, religion, Norwegian, and arts and crafts. The book provides and introduction to defining human worth from a variety of theoretical perspectives, with examples from school and everyday life. The individual chapters pose questions about dignity, equality, inclusion and exclusion, and the resources human beings engage in meeting challenges.
" - "Menneskeverd – en utfordring for skole og samfunn er boka som tar opp spørsmålet: Er alle mennesker like mye verdt? For å svare på dette må vi se nærmere på hvordan vi kan forstå menneskeverd. Menneskeverd og likeverd sees som grunnleggende for skolen, som er samfunnets viktigste aktør for menneskelig læring og utvikling. Samtidig er det mange eksempler på hvor vanskelig det er å sette begreper som likeverd og menneskeverd ut i praksis. I tillegg er det få debatter i skolen som berører selve forståelsen av hva menneskeverd er i skolen. Dette er oppsiktsvekkende, og vi ser det som en utfordring for skole og samfunn.
Boka er en antologi på ni kapitler om menneskeverd i typiske «menneskefag» i skolen, som pedagogikk, filosofi, samfunnsfag, religion, norsk og kunst- og håndverk. Den gir en innføring i hva menneskeverd kan være både fra ulike teoretiske ståsted, og med eksempler fra skole og samfunnsliv. Kapitlene i boka reiser spørsmål om verdighet, likeverd, innenfor- og utenforskap, og hvilke ressurser mennesket tar i bruk i møte med utfordringer."
