Do 2100. svijet bi mogao biti u potpunosti urbaniziran osobama koje žive samo u gradovima.
Ova neposredna stvarnost planetarne urbanizacije vjerojatno će dovesti do drastičnih
okolišnih, ekonomskih i ...društvenih promjena, a sve će zauzvrat vjerojatno utjecati na prirodu
ljudskih odnosa i njihovu interakciju u gradovima. Urbana etika stoga se bavi pitanjem kakvi
bi trebali biti pravi odnosi među ljudima koji sve više nastanjuju gradove. Ovo se pitanje danas
sastoji od porasta ‘pametnijih pametnih gradova’, gdje su urbane tehnologije omogućene
umjetnom inteligencijom (UI) koja može osjetiti, pratiti, učiti, predvidjeti, a zatim pokušati
kontrolirati ljudsko ponašanje. Brzo spajanje ovih triju razvoja, planetarne urbanizacije,
urbane etike i pametnih gradova, čije upravljanje je potpomognuto umjetnom inteligencijom,
otkriva nedovoljno istražen scenarij prepun novih društvenih obećanja prekrivenih mnogim
moralnim opasnostima. U radu će se ispitati sljedeći scenarij, koji je uokviren sljedećim trima
vektorima: (i) Kako urbano oblikuje etičko? (ii) Što je pametni grad kojim upravlja UI i kako
utječe na sadašnji pojam planetarne urbanizacije? (iii) Kako pametni grad kojim upravlja UI
mijenja etičko djelovanje i specifični načini na koji to čini? Zajedno, odgovori na ova pitanja
započinju daljnje rasprave o urbanoj bioetici u miljeu gradova kojima upravlja UI
The essays in this work focus on the theoretical significance of moral dilemmas. The contributors, many of them philosophers who have shaped the current debate, shed light on standing controversies ...in moral philosophy.
Temeljna je ideja ovoga rada putem dokumentarističkih zapisa rekonstruirati kako je jedna smrt, u ovome slučaju kazališnog kritičara Anatolija Kudrjavceva, ujedno označila kraj ozbiljnijih estetskih ...prijepora u povijesti hrvatskoga kazališta. Analizirat će se dinamični odnosi Kudrjavceva s HNK-om Split (»za mene ne postoji klasični ili moderni teatar, nego dobar ili loš«), te njegova prijateljstva s Ivom Brešanom i Nedjeljkom Fabriom, kao i samo pravo na javnu prosudbu, koje nerijetko izaziva polemike. Ujedno će se dinamika tih prošlih odnosa usporediti sa suvremenošću, koja sve više otvara prostor oglašavanju i monološkim medijskim prozivanjima.
This thought-provoking study examines the ethical, legal, and social problems that arise with cutting-edge medical technology. Using as examples four powerful and largely unregulated ...technologies—off-label use of drugs, innovative surgery, assisted reproduction, and neuroimaging—Margaret L. Eaton and Donald Kennedy illustrate the difficult challenges faced by clinicians, researchers, and policy makers who seek to advance the frontiers of medicine safely and responsibly.
Supported by medical history and case studies and drawing on reports from dozens of experts, the authors address important practical, ethical, and policy issues. They consider topics such as the responsible introduction of new medical products and services, the importance of patient consent, the extent of the duty to mitigate harm, and the responsibility to facilitate access to new medical therapies.
This work's insights into the nature and consequences of medical innovation contribute to the national debate on how best to protect patients while fostering innovation and securing benefits.
