English | ISBN: 1498531261 | 2016 | 166 pages | EPUB | 1474 KB
Over the last fifty years Western Christianity has been criticized as a cause and enabler of Earth’s ecological crisis. It has been said that Christianity promotes a spiritual-material dualism where the material side of life has little sacred value. Also noted in the critique is the hesitancy of many Christians to embrace modern scientific understandings of creation, especially evolution. Some Christian writers have responded by accepting modern cosmology and evolution, and advocating for a "sacramental" creation spirituality, oftentimes supported by fresh readings of earlier Christian writings.

English | ISBN: 1474407048 | 2016 | 400 pages | PDF | 2 MB
The Practices of Global Ethics takes a unique look at global ethics: not as mere written statements but as a set of practices undertaken by thousands of organisations and hundreds of thousands of people to shape the normative trajectory of human affairs. It looks at statements of global ethical principles including The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Earth Charter and the Rio Documents and positions them as the outcomes and expression of ongoing practices. Offering innovative, critical and thoughtful analyses of ethical practices since World War II, the book examines efforts to promote human rights; foster ecological responsibility; end genocide; reduce global poverty; encourage responsible and sustainable international business practices; cultivate understanding and collaboration amongst the world’s religions among other worldwide endeavours.

Free Download James Harold, "The Oxford Handbook of Ethics and Art "
English | ISBN: 0197539793 | 2023 | 792 pages | EPUB | 14 MB
This volume is about how and whether art can be morally bad (or morally good). Politicians, media pundits, and others frequently complain that particular works of art are morally dangerous, or, sometimes, that particular works are morally edifying (the "great works" of literature, for example). But little attention is often given to the question of what makes art morally good in the first place. This comprehensive volume of forty-five new essays explores a wide variety of historical and theoretical perspectives, looking at different art forms and different problems.

Free Download Jacques M. Chevalier, "The Ethics of Courage: Volume 2: From Early Modernity to the Global Age"
English | ISBN: 303132742X | 2023 | 509 pages | PDF | 8 MB
This two-volume work examines far-reaching debates on the concept of courage from Greek antiquity to the Christian and mediaeval periods, as well as the modern era. Volume 1 explains how competing accounts of epistêmê, rational wisdom, and truth dominated classical antiquity. Early Christian and mediaeval thinkers, in contrast, favoured fortitude founded on faith and fear of God over philosophical reasoning left to its own devices.

Free Download People, Parks, and Power: The Ethics of Conservation-Related Resettlement by Maria Sapignoli , Robert K. Hitchcock
English | PDF (True) | 2023 | 128 Pages | ISBN : 3031392663 | 2.5 MB
This book presents a critical review of the ethics of conservation-related resettlement. We examine what has become known as the" parks versus people" debate, also known as the "new conservation debate," which has pitted indigenous and other local people against nation states and social scientists against ecologists and conservationists for the past several decades. Aiming to promote biodiversity conservation and habitat preservation, some biologists, park planners, and conservation organizations have recommended that indigenous and other people should be removed from protected areas.

Free Download Paul Louis Metzger, "More Than Things: A Personalist Ethics for a Throwaway Culture"
English | ISBN: 0830850910 | 2023 | 464 pages | EPUB | 1352 KB
We live in a culture of commodification. People are too often defined by what they do or own; they’re treated as means to an end or cogs in a machine. What goes missing is a deep sense of personhood―the belief that all humans are unique subjects with inherent worth and the right to self-determination in authentic communion with others.
