Review Of Ethical Theory By Russ Shafer-Landau, Matthew Pianalto
Review Of Ethical Theory By Russ Shafer-Landau, Matthew Pianalto
Matthew Pianalto
Any anthology on a topic as broad as moral philosophy risks committing sins of omission. In lieu of what Shafer-Landau calls the "point-counterpoint" approach usually taken in ethics readers, in which the audience is presented with positive accounts of particular views and critical responses, Shafer-Landau has chosen, particularly the sections on distinctive moral theories (such as consequentialism and deontological ethics), to focus on various defenses and articulations of the moral theories under consideration. Thus, "Readers will not have criticisms of the theories presented and ready to hand. As a compensation, however, they will have a more nuanced target to aim …

Ethics Of Surgical Training In Developing Countries, Kevin Ramsey, Charles Weijer
Ethics Of Surgical Training In Developing Countries, Kevin Ramsey, Charles Weijer
Charles Weijer
The practice of surgical trainees operating in developing countries is gaining interest in the medical community. Although there has been little analysis about the ethical impact of these electives, there has been some concerns raised over the possible exploitation of trainees and their patients. An ethical review of this practice shows that care needs to be taken to prevent harm. Inexperienced surgeons learning surgical skills in developing countries engender greater risk of violating basic ethical principles. Advanced surgical trainees who have already achieved surgical competence are best qualified to satisfy these ethical issues. All training programs need to develop a …
‘Keep The “L” Out Of Los Angeles’: Race, Discourse, And Urban Modernity In 1920s Southern California, Jeremiah Axelrod
‘Keep The “L” Out Of Los Angeles’: Race, Discourse, And Urban Modernity In 1920s Southern California, Jeremiah Axelrod
Jeremiah B.C. Axelrod
In the spring of 1926 the voters of Los Angeles were asked to decide whether to accept a modern rapid transit system for their metropolis. The referendum campaign, a watershed moment in American urban history, forced citizens to choose whether their rapidly growing city should develop into a centralized conurbation of skyscrapers linked by an extensive transit infrastructure, like New York and Chicago, or become a metropolis dominated by low-density development. Crucially, the campaign—charged with vivid rhetoric and metaphor, mobilized primarily by local newspapers—ultimately turned on Angelenos' conceptions of race and class and on their notions of what cosmopolitan urbanism …

Blasted’S Hysteria: Rape, Realism, And The Thresholds Of The Visible, Kim Solga
Blasted’S Hysteria: Rape, Realism, And The Thresholds Of The Visible, Kim Solga
Kim Solga
A curious blind spot remains in the critical response to Sarah Kane’s Blasted: the rape of Cate by Ian. In a play famous for its onstage violence, why is this rape, one of its pivotal moments of brutality, left unstaged? This article investigates this gap by exploring the theoretical and historical dimensions of the ‘‘missing’’ in Kane’s play. I argue that Kane’s representation of Cate’s rape as missing signals both her engagement with the history of rape’s representation – an elusive, evasive history rather than an outrageous, in-yer-face one – as well as a deft understanding of how the ‘‘missing’’ …

Revisiting Equipoise: A Response To Gifford, Paul Miller, Charles Weijer
Revisiting Equipoise: A Response To Gifford, Paul Miller, Charles Weijer
Charles Weijer
The authors respond to objections Fred Gifford has raised against their paper "Rehabilitating Equipoise." They situate this exchange in the wider context of recent debate over equipoise, highlighting substantial points of agreement between themselves and Gifford. The authors offer a brief restatement of "Rehabilitating Equipoise" in which they amplify some of its core arguments. They then assess Gifford's objections. Finding each to be unfounded, they argue that there is no justification for "pulling the plug" on clinical equipoise.
Presentism And The Objection From Being-Supervenience, Brian Kierland, Bradley Monton
Presentism And The Objection From Being-Supervenience, Brian Kierland, Bradley Monton
Brian Kierland
In this paper, we show that presentism—the view that the way things are is the way things presently are—is not undermined by the objection from being-supervenience. This objection claims, roughly, that presentism has trouble accounting for the truth-value of past-tense claims. Our demonstration amounts to the articulation and defence of a novel version of presentism. This is brute past presentism, according to which the truth-value of past-tense claims is determined by the past understood as a fundamental aspect of reality different from things and how things are.

The Shock Of The Old, Tom Montgomery-Fate
Tom Montgomery Fate
Joe Mackall's new book, "Plain Secrets: An Outsider Among the Amish," explores the role of religion in modern society by looking closely at the life of a small devout religious community in Ohio: the Swartzentruber Amish. The struggle of the Amish people to live with "the English" (the non-Amish), and of the English "outsider" (Mackall) to understand the Amish, is a unique story of culture crossing in rural white America.

Refuting The Net Risks Test: A Response To Wendler And Miller's "Assessing Research Risks Systematically", Charles Weijer, Paul Miller
Charles Weijer
Earlier in the pages of this journal (p 481), Wendler and Miller offered the "net risks test" as an alternative approach to the ethical analysis of benefits and harms in research. They have been vocal critics of the dominant view of benefit-harm analysis in research ethics, which encompasses core concepts of duty of care, clinical equipoise and component analysis. They had been challenged to come up with a viable alternative to component analysis which meets five criteria. The alternative must (1) protect research subjects; (2) allow clinical research to proceed; (3) explain how physicians may offer trial enrolment to their …

Gathered For The Journey: Moral Theology In Catholic Perspective, M. Lysaught, David Mccarthy
Gathered For The Journey: Moral Theology In Catholic Perspective, M. Lysaught, David Mccarthy
M. Therese Lysaught
Gathered for the Journey sets moral reasoning in a theological context of worship and discipleship (part 1), provides a framework for the moral life based on questions of human fulfillment (part 2), and demonstrates how these theological resources shape a distinctive approach to questions of globalization, Catholic social teaching, the family, war and peace, bioethics, and the environment (part 3). McCarthy and Lysaught have crafted a distinctively unified collection. Gathered for the Journey represents a common project among Catholic scholars who are struggling with similar questions about living faithfully.
