Perfect Me : Beauty as an Ethical Ideal
How looking beautiful has become a moral imperative in today’s worldThe demand to be beautiful is increasingly important in today's visual and virtual culture.Rightly or wrongly, being perfect has become an ethical ideal to live by, and according to which we judge ourselves a success or failure.Perfect Me explores the changing nature of the beauty ideal, showing how it is more dominant, demanding, and global than ever before.Arguing that our perception of the self is changing, Heather Widdows shows that more and more, we locate the self in the body.Nobody is firm enough, thin enough, smooth enough, or buff enough—not without significant effort and cosmetic intervention.To understand these rising demands, we need to recognize their ethical aspect and seek out new communal responses.

Ethical Musicality
Ethical Musicality addresses the crossroads between music and ethics, combining philosophical knowledge, theoretical reflection, and practical understanding.When tied together, music and ethics link profoundly, offering real-life perspectives that would otherwise be inaccessible to us.The first part elucidates music and ethics through some influential and selected scholars ranging from Antiquity via modern philosophy to contemporary voices.In the second part, different roles and arenas are illustrated and explored through various music practices in real-life encounters for the musician, the music educator, the music therapist, the musicologist, the ‘lay’ musician, and the music researcher.The third part unfolds an ethical musicality focusing on the body, relationship, time, and space.Following these fundamental existentials, ethical musicality expands our lifeworld, including context, involvement, power, responsibility, sustainability, and hope.Such an ethical musicality meets us with a calling to humanity - offering hope of a ‘good life’.

Ethical Cities
Combining elements of sustainable and resilient cities agendas, together with those from social justice studies, and incorporating concerns about good governance, transparency and accountability, the book presents a coherent conceptual framework for the ethical city, in which to embed existing and new activities within cities so as to guide local action. The authors’ observations are derived from city-specific surveys and urban case studies.These reveal how progressive cities are promoting a diverse range of ethically informed approaches to urbanism, such as community wealth building, basic income initiatives, participatory budgeting and citizen assemblies.The text argues that the ethical city is a logical next step for critical urbanism in the era of late capitalism, characterised by divisive politics, burgeoning inequality, widespread technology-induced disruptions to every aspect of modern life and existential threats posed by climate change, sustainability imperatives and pandemics.Engaging with their communities in meaningful ways and promoting positive transformative change, ethical cities are well placed to deliver liveable and sustainable places for all, rather than only for wealthy elites.Likewise, the aftermath of shocks such as the 2008 Global Financial Crisis and the Covid-19 pandemic reveals that cities that are not purposeful in addressing inequalities, social problems, unsustainability and corruption face deepening difficulties. Readers from across physical and social sciences, humanities and arts, as well as across policy, business and civil society, will find that the application of ethical principles is key to the pursuit of socially inclusive urban futures and the potential for cities and their communities to emerge from or, at least, ameliorate a diverse range of local, national and global challenges.

Ethical Violence
Human civilization is founded on ethical principles, norms of behaviour that have accumulated over time.Perhaps the oldest of ethical principles is the rejection of violence, which includes the respect for life and for the physical and psychological integrity of others.But, in some circumstances, violence itself can be regarded as ethical – for example, when it is used by states claiming to act in self-defence.In these circumstances, the need to defend oneself against an enemy can transform war from an unacceptable act into a necessary, socially shared and morally sanctioned choice. And it is when violence becomes ethical that we must begin to fear for our future. In the wake of the pandemic, we are witnessing the growing prevalence of aggression and emotionality in social and political life.We find ourselves living in an increasingly impatient and insecure society, which is sceptical of scientific thought and which takes refuge in the irrational.The decline of rationality and the growing prevalence of violence are increasingly common features of a society that has lost touch with the great Enlightenment narrative.We need, argues Bordoni, to rediscover the rationality we have lost and recuperate the positive side of technology.

Ethical Realism
This Element examines the many facets of ethical realism and the issues at stake in metaethical debates about it—both between realism and non-realist alternatives, and between different versions of realism itself.Starting with a minimal core characterization of ethical realism focused on claims about meaning and truth, we go on to develop a narrower and more theoretically useful conception by adding further claims about objectivity and ontological commitment.Yet even this common understanding of ethical realism captures a surprisingly heterogeneous range of views.In fact, a strong case can be made for adding several more conditions in order to arrive at a proper paradigm of realism about ethics when understood in a non-deflationary way.We then develop this more robust realism, bringing out its distinctive take on ethical objectivity and normative authority, its unique ontological commitments, and both the support for it and some challenges it faces.

Ethical Contexts and Theoretical Issues : Essays in Ethical Thinking
Ethics has become a particularly relevant topic for discussion and a subject for serious study.It has a very long tradition, of course; but nowadays one hears frequently of the need, because of abuses or concerns, to formulate and adopt ethical codes in various areas or professions.This book aims to make a philosophical contribution to the discussions and debates on the topic.Compared to the traditional approach to the philosophical study of ethics, however, this book adopts a different strategy.It shows that such ethical thinking, in the concrete particulars, originates in various academic and professional contexts, among others.But inasmuch as theoretical issues require wider and more intensive attention, it argues that ethical thinking needs to be pursued further and that it can be aided by philosophical investigations.In its concluding chapters the book presents an alternative foundation for ethical decision-making.Philosophically grounded, it moves away from an individualistic ethical perspective to a relational one that has been shaped through dialogue with the various contexts in which ethical think-ing arises.
