  • L’art de bien gouverner la République : enjeux géopolitiques et stratégies des acteurs en Afrique

    Diangitukwa, Fweley (Globethics Publications, 2024-03-12)
    Ce livre rassemble les enjeux géopolitiques et géoéconomiques du réalisme politique dans le contexte africain. Pour réussir dans la vie politique, il faut un mélange de détermination, d’éthique, d’équité, de prégnance et surtout de persévérance. Il ne suffit pas d’avoir une idée claire de ce que l’on veut, encore faut-il trouver les moyens de réaliser son objectif. Pour être efficient, le réalisme lucide recommande des moyens éprouvés de survie collective. Un pays devrait se doter de dirigeants compétents et non poursuivre des utopies sans principe du bien socialement établi. Transposant les préceptes de l’éducation du dirigeant réaliste classique au contexte africain, voici toute l’entreprise de l’auteur qui peint un tableau splendide du bon leader, de sa capacité d’anticipation, de décision et de son caractère intègre. Un vrai manuel pour comprendre la notion d’équilibre des pouvoirs à l’usage du leadership politique.
  • Diversité des droits dans la quete de la sécurité humaine

    Mukonde, Pascal Musulay (Globethics Publications, 2024-02-15)
    La sécurité humaine est tributaire de tous les secteurs de la vie humaine. Elle se trouve confrontée à l’immensité de l’insécurité multiforme : l’absence d’une politique adéquate de planning familial, dans une approche plutôt qualitative que quantitative, l’insécurité alimentaire que nutritionnelle, l’insécurité sociale des travailleurs comme l’insécurité militaire créée par multiples menaces à la paix et par des violences inhumaines de toutes sortes. Cet ouvrage contribue offre l’information adéquate et pratique sur différentes catégories de droits partagés dans le cadre d’une mondialisation aussi bien unitaire que plurielle. L’ouvrage s’adresse surtout aux Pouvoirs Publics pour l’adoption d’une politique cohérente et souple, emprunte des évidences de fait et de droit,en vigueur ou à légiférer. L’auteur présente ici un laboratoire spécifique et holistique d’idées en matière de la sécurité humaine.
  • My cross - my life : daily spiritual joy

    Stückelberger, Christoph (Globethics.net, 2022)
    The cross in this collection is not a symbol of suffering and death, but one of joy, energy, life and community. The 60 crosses from across the globe - the private collection of the author - offer the possibility to discover the depth and diversity of the cross, in a spirit of ecumenical curiosity. They are organised around five themes: Tree of life; Community; Suffering; Devotion and Protection. The selection is limited to personal crosses found in households, worn as necklaces or bought in church shops. This booklet is an invitation to deepen personal spirituality, to choose from among the crosses and to meditate on them as a means to express personal hope and to find life energy as a source of ethical reflection and action.

  • Ethics and overcoming odious passions : mitigating radicalisation and extremism through shared human values in education

    Haaz, Ignace; Bühlmann Quero, Jakob; Singh, Khushwant (Globethics Publications, 2023)
    This publication articulated in three parts, and twelve chapters endeavours to engage with the complex negative emotions and consequent phenomenon of self-deceit, radicalisation and extremism. First part: Emotions as Lines of Demarcation or Guidelines to Our Self. The Psychodynamic Surrounding of our Intentional Self; second part: Case Studies of Some Concrete Societal Encapsulations of the Negative Passions; and third part: Resisting the Colonisation of Tyrannical Affections. Possible Paths of Mitigating Radicalisation and Extremism. What kind of educational responses can be given to extremist claims of territory, identity, resources, power, and interpretations? How can a dialogue on unifying ethical principles and values aid in developing common grounds for preventing radical and extremist excesses? With authors from three continents, this publication endeavours to not only ask the uncomfortable questions with regard to the exteriorisation of human emotive predispositions and inclinations to ostracize, stigmatise and discriminate. The exit door from the extreme is also clearly presented, through four contributions, notably the interplay of Charvaka philosophy, Sikh wisdom on balanced forms of engagement with strong emotions.
  • Inteligencia territorial y protocolos comunitarios bioculturales como mecanismos que permiten la deliberación ética y bioética en las intervenciones territoriales

    Castañeda Ruiz, Hugo Nelson; Herrera Mejia, Jhonny Alexander; Muñoz Zapata, Mauricio (Editorial Bonaventuriana, Universidad de San Buenaventura ColombiaGlobethics Publications, 2023)
    We reflect on the need for territorial intervention methodologies that allow for community participation and include criteria for the protection of life, autonomy and traditional knowledge, among others. Without these mechanisms, practices such as: exploitation of resources and knowledge without communityconsent, homicide of social leaders, forced displacement of communities and contamination, among others, which are common in Colombia and other countries when interventions are carried out in the territories, will continue to be perpetuated. Two methodologies that allow community empowerment and direct participation in projects are given as examples: biocultural community protocols and territorial intelligence, whose strengths are centered on a territorial reading from the complexity and processes of dialogue and deliberation between actors and agents that allow the adoption of ethical and bioethical criteria applied to territorial management. Their weaknesses are: the scarce knowledge of agents and actors in some countries that do not allow a better adoption and the pace of intervention that may not coincide with the time and costs required by the agents, which would lead to inadequate practices that blur these mechanisms.
  • Aportes bioéticos y franciscanos en torno a una antropología de la muerte y una hermenéutica del dolor

    Zapata Muriel, Fernando Antonio; Sánchez, Luis Fernando; Alzate Mejía, Nicolás Alberto (Editorial Bonaventuriana, Universidad de San Buenaventura ColombiaGlobethics Publications, 2023)
    Next, we want to put for the reader’s consideration the reflection carried out around two related topics both to Bioethics and to Franciscan Humanism: pain and death. The double horizon of thought proposes the discursive debate based on two questions: How can the meaning of pain and death be understood in the proposed double perspective? And how does pain influence, build, rebuild the subject in contemporary society? Likewise, it is proposedto detect some of the most outstanding conceptions of the phenomenon of death among students and the attentive care that both teachers and curricula will take into account, to work on the meaning and meaning of life in the subjects-objects of study. From our belonging and identity as a Bonaventurian university, these hermeneutics, which were carried out from a pluralistic and interdisciplinary perspective, also sought to highlight the horizon of Franciscan meaning, for this reason questions such as: What does Franciscan spirituality contribute to topics such as these: pain from an anthropological perspective and death as an anthropological-existential category?
  • Territorio y bien común : una propuesta de diálogo fraterno

    Echeverri Rendón, Pablo (Editorial Bonaventuriana, Universidad de San Buenaventura ColombiaGlobethics Publications, 2023)
    We want to present some principles derived from the encyclicals Laudato Sí and Fratelli Tutti, of Franciscan inspiration, which could be used from bioethics, and would allow decision makers and technicians who accompany them some guidelines for the planning of the territory that they have these three elements: the space as a natural element, the community that in habits it and the power relations that contribute to its ordering. For this, it is necessary to understand that the territory is made up of different visions of the same space in which the natural and the anthropic are mixed, generating a varied and complex network of relationships. When analysing a territory, it must be considered its physical-spatial components and the different relationships woven with the communities that inhabit it, shaping their identities, loaded with cultural, social, economic, and political experiences, among others, that give theplace particular characteristics that help to differentiate it from other spaces. Therefore, the territory is the base and sustenance of the different communities that inhabit it, where it is determined by them, generating different scales of understanding, boundaries and collective experiences, that print their quality of complex socio-ecological space and in constant change, which is why it is necessary to establish a fraternal dialogue between decision makers and communities that allow the common good and justice between generations and achieve the protection of their biological and cultural diversity.
