Mission versus ethics in 1 Corinthians 9? ‘Implicit ethics’ as an aid in analysing New Testament texts
2012
The central question concerning how mission and ethics are related arises within the context of the understanding of ethics itself and in this way often leads back to the familiar ‘indicative and imperative’ model. This oversimplified approach, however, is ultimately inadequate for the Pauline ethic in general and for the particular problem concerning mission and ethics. In this article, 1 Corinthians 9 was drawn upon as an example for the ‘implicit ethics’ model, a model which allows for a more nuanced presentation of the grounds and justification for behaviour and action. Through this approach it became clear that the proclamation of the Gospel does not have to be ‘unethical’; rather, it …
Făgăraș as Jerusalem? Interethnic and interreligious ethos in Transylvania
2017
The study presents Transylvania as a space of ethnic-religious tolerance, having as a case studythe image of the town Făgăraș, as depicted in Eginald Schlattner’s novels. This space appearsas one of a heavenly nuance, based on a long tradition of coexistence of the members ofdifferent ethnic groups and religions. However, the inter-war and post-war period means theemergence of new challenges posed by the confrontation with the harmful effects of the twoideologies: Nazism and Communism. In this way, the dramas of the socio-historical contextinterweave with elements forming young Eginald. They will remain a constant in the writer’slife, offering Făgăraș the role of a forming educational array…
The Launch of a New Scandinavian Journal of Work and Organizational Psychology
2016
Background Welcome to this new journal – the Scandinavian Journal of Work and Organizational Psychology. The field of Work and Organizational Psychology has a long and strong tradition in Scandinavia. Typical studies within this field have focused on work environment issues, such as psychosocial working conditions, meaningfulness and influence at work. The focus on intervention and evaluation of work and organizational initiatives – focusing on the improvement of working life – has also been important in this research tradition. In a European and global context, there are relevant and prestigious journals covering the research field, such as the European Journal of Work and Organizational P…
¿Quién sabe si es posible saber lo que es justo? la teoría del conocimiento y el estatuto epistemológico de las ciencias normativas: a propósito de H…
2011
RESUMEN En esta comunicación se sugiere una revisión de la clásica escisión entre teorías cognotivistas y no cognotivistas, a la luz que pueda resultar del repaso a algunos hitos de la teoría del conocimiento como nueva “filosofía primera” o “filosofía primera” propia de la modernidad y que debieron afectar a la cuestión del estatuto epistemológico de las llamadas ciencias normativas. Se hace especial referencia a la teoría del conocimiento de David Hume. ABSTRACT In this paper we suggest a revision of the classic division between cognotivistic and non cognotivistic points of view after reviewing some “highlights” of the theory of knowledge as a new "first philosophy" or philosophy of mod…
La ética global de los derechos humanos. Una aproximación prospectiva al impacto de las nuevas tecnologías
2011
ResumenLa identidad cultural es la piedra de toque de la supervivencia de esta sociedad global incipiente: su consolidación requiere de formas culturales compartidas. En ese proceso de redefinición identitaria que la globalización inaugura es necesario forjar una ética cívica global basada en el reconocimiento internacional de los derechos humanos que permita dar forma a esa interpenetración de las relaciones humanas y de sus expresiones culturales a nivel planetario. En este trabajo trataremos de analizar sucintamente los efectos que la gestación de una sociedad global de la información tiene sobre la consolidación de ese núcleo de valores de aliento universal. AbstractCultural identity is…
The Four Dimensions of Embodiment and the Experience of Illness
2018
In this paper I will try to systematically lay out and describe the multiple dimensions of the embodied experience of illness, which until recently has been the main focus within the field of the phenomenology of medicine. In order to do this, I will turn to analysis of the nature of embodiment in Husserl’s phenomenology. I will argue that based on Husserl’s phenomenology of the body, one can distinguish four ways of experiencing one’s body, or four dimensions of embodiment. I will distinguish between experience of one’s body as 1) a bearer of sensations (the affective dimension of embodiment); 2) a seat of free movement, characterized by the faculty of “I can” (the functional dimension of …
Report on the conference on 'Men, Women, and Medicine: A New View of the Biology of Sex/Gender Differences and Aging' held in Berlin, 24–26th Februar…
2006
Abstract The first world wide symposium on the topic of gender-specific medicine provided the latest research on differences in sex and/or gender in medicine and medical care. The presentations ranged beyond the topic of reproduction to encompass the entire human organism. This report critically reviews three issues that emerged during the Conference: gender mainstreaming, the concept of sex/gender differences and the issue of men's health. It suggests that the interdisciplinary concept of gender-specific medicine has to be mirrored by the integration of social and cultural studies into medical research and practice.
Ética de la asistencia primaria a los niños de procedencia internacional Ética da assistência primária às crianças de procedência internacional Ethic…
2012
La inmigración se ha convertido en un fenómeno universal. Uno de sus efectos es el incremento de los niños de procedencia internacional en las consultas de pediatría. Se trata de una población doblemente vulnerable, por tratarse de niños y por proceder de contextos culturales extraños a los del país de acogida. Ante esta realidad emergente es imprescindible preguntarse por el tipo de asistencia sanitaria que deben recibir. En el presente artículo se proponen principios éticos de actuación inspirados en las principales normas internacionales sobre bioética y derechos de los niños: principio de vulnerabilidad; principio de respeto y amor, y principio de acceso y atención sanitaria. Finalmente…
Melhoramento ético das práticas em saúde: Comitês de Bioética em Espanha e Brasil
2017
O compartilhamento solidário de experiências entre Brasil e Espanha reposiciona a importância de novos espaços democráticos de participação cidadã e debate ético-político, suscitando questões como: a participação em Comitês Bioéticos pode ir em direção às necessiades-interesses sociais presentes na singularidade da relação profissional-paciente e equipe de saúde? No Brasil, a participação dos profissionais em fóruns construídos para ampliação do controle social e debate da ética, avança como permanente desafio. A ampliação da deliberação em coletivos de debate e equipes de saúde, precisa assumir novo sentido público social na construção da relação profissional-usuário-sistema de saúde-socie…
A Role for Judges in Assisted Dying
2009
Medically provoked death, whether euthanasia or assisted suicide, is a common issue for discussion in various forums, participants coming from widely differing fields of knowledge, among who are, of course, doctors. Substantial legal differences exist in Europe on this issue and in an ever-wider Europe, it is essential, for practical reasons, that legislation be standardised. We would like to propose possible regulations that would provide effective safeguards in the application of euthanasia or assisted suicide.
