War and moral dissonance
\"This collection of essays, inspired by the author's experience teaching ethics to Marine and Navy chaplains during the Iraq War, examines the moral and psychological dilemmas posed by war. The first section deals directly with Dr. Peter A. French's teaching experience and the specific challenges posed by teaching applied and theoretical ethics to men and women wrestling with the immediate and personal moral conflicts occasioned by the dissonance of their duties as military officers with their religious convictions. The following chapters grew out of philosophical discussions with these chaplains regarding specific ethical issues surrounding the Iraq War, including the nature of moral evil, forgiveness, mercy, retributive punishment, honor, torture, responsibility, and just war theory. This book represents a unique viewpoint on the philosophical problems of war, illuminating the devastating toll combat experiences take on both an individual's sense of identity and a society's professed moral code\"--Provided by publisher.

Peter French, Corporate Ethics and the Wizard of Oz
For more than two decades, Peter French has been arguing in books, articles and symposia that corporations are genuine actors in the moral universe. Like adult human beings, they can and should take moral responsibility for their actions and be held accountable by the other actors in this universe. I have always argued with my students that the position is both metaphysically incorrect and practically harmful. Now (1995) French has redeveloped his position through 380 pages in Corporate Ethics, probably the most challenging and original Business Ethics textbook yet to appear. It is a work of intellectual sophistication with real world applications. Using the metaphor invaders throughout the book, French argues not only that corporations are moral agents, but also that their moral agency has made the business world of the late twentieth century and of the coming century different from anything of preceding epochs. It is, in his argument, an agency of great potential danger and of great potential benefit, one in terms of which we can address every ethical problem of business. In the essay, I explore Corporate Ethics both on the metaphysical and the practical level.

Letter: Don't believe doomsayers on Italy
I know quite a lot about this having a house in Italy and spending a bit of time there. It is also worth pointing out that the Italian economy is nothing like the British one.

Helmets the weak link in bike hire chain
\"The main issue I see with it is when visitors want to start using it; of course if they've arrived on a plane they probably wouldn't have brought their bike helmet with them because they've probably come from a country where they don't wear helmets.\" \"If you look at the countries where there's really high levels of cycling, such as the Netherlands and Denmark, they have much smaller proportions of people being killed or injured over there, even though they don't wear helmets,\" he said. \"I think it's just rubbish. It just won't work. People aren't keen to go and get a bike and a helmet and a lock - people are lazy,\" he said.

How scientists can protect and restore their reputations: Paper in themed section: The Value of Techniques. Martin, Brian (ed.).
Scientists whose work and reputation come under fire may adopt strategic practices to protect and restore their status and identity. Some of these tactics are illustrated through the case of an Australian scientist who became targeted when he began researching the biological effects of mobile telephone radiation. While the strategies used by controversial scientists could be seen as primarily self-serving they can also be viewed as means to creating a more democratic, open-minded and less politically naïve scientific world that encourages innovation for the benefit of society.
