On Naturalizing Jurisprudence: Some Comments on Brian Leiter's View of What Jurisprudence Should Become by Dickson, J

“…In response to this state of affairs, Leiter advocates that jurisprudence ought to attempt to catch-up with 'naturalistic' developments which have influenced the direction of other branches of philosophy - such as epistemology, philosophy of mind, and moral philosophy - in the last few decades. This article offers a critical analysis of some of Leiter's proposals for what Jurisprudence should become, in light of his views on the relevance of naturalism for this discipline. © 2011 Springer Science+Business Media B.V.…”

Telling the truth about antibiotics: benefits, harms and moral duty in prescribing for children in primary care by Hayhoe, B, Butler, C, Majeed, A, Saxena, S

“…Antimicrobial resistance represents a growing threat to global health, yet antibiotics are frequently prescribed in primary care for acute childhood illness, where there is evidence of very limited clinical effectiveness. Moral philosophy supports the need for doctors to consider wider society, including future patients, when treating present individuals, and it is clearly wrong to waste antibiotics in situations where they are largely clinically ineffective at the expense of future generations. …”

Shifting economics: fundamental questions and Amartya K. Sen’s pragmatic humanism by Tara Natarajan

Dalla neuroeconomia alla neuroetica: verso una neuroscienza delle decisioni individuali e socio-morali by Maria Arioli, Nicola Canessa

“…While neuroeconomics investigates the neural mechanisms underlying the maximization of personal economic utility, neuroethics integrates such knowledge with that provided by social neurosciences, in order to address typical questions in ethics and moral philosophy. We review the available research to contrast the hypothesis that both individual economic and socio-moral choices rely on a common brain network receiving domain-specific inputs (Extended Common Currency Schema) and the claim that a specific brain network underpins choices in a socio-moral context (Social-Valutation-Specific Schema). …”

Business Ethics in Adam Smith’s works by Stefan Zabieglik

“…These can be found in his famous works—The Theory of Moral Sentiments and The Wealth of Nations—and in his lectures at the Glasgow University, where he was a professor of moral philosophy in 1752–1764. The main argument of the paper is that ethical problems (presented mainly in The Theory of Moral Sentiments) are also present in his political economy, which contradicts some neoliberal interpretations of his works as ones of the “intellectual father of capitalism”. …”

The welfare costs of rent-seeking: a methodologically individualist and subjectivist revision by Michael Makovi

“…We must distinguish between positive economic fact and normative moral philosophy. We call for a reconstruction of utility and welfare economics based on methodological individualism and subjectivism with implications for the theories of monopoly and competition: practices which Neoclassical perfect-competition theory considers to be evidence of rent-seeking should instead be deemed as indications of genuine competition Political economy should be concerned with ascertaining which institutions will best enable individuals to pursue their individually subjective ends – or else economists should be explicit about their normative preferences and political philosophies.…”

Respect for cultural diversity and the empirical turn in bioethics: a plea for caution by Karori Mbugua

I maintain that bioethicists must resist the temptation of moving too quickly from cultural relativism to ethical relativism and from empirical findings to normative conclusions. …”
