Perceiving the Other

Case Studies and Theories of Respectful Action. Edited by Trygve Wyller and Hans-Günter Heimbrock. In cooperation with Kaia D. Schultz.

A new perspective of professional Ethics in a phenomenological context: "Perceiving the Other" is a Norwegian/German collaboration lead by Trygve Wyller and Hans-Günter Heimbrock. Case examples introduce a new way of approaching ethics. It points out that it is possible to show phenomenological ethics in practise. The lived experience (praxis) is as important as the professional experience. The research on the field is the dynamics between these two experiences, where the professional experience is taken from the general life experience. The volume consists of three sections: 1. Introduction, emphasizing the ethical paradigm shift, and presenting the terms relationality, connectedness etc. The introduction clarifies past and ongoing research, and discusses how to develop research with the "new" perspectives - connectedness, phenomenology etc. 2.: Section two consists of five cases from Norwegian and German doctoral dissertations and thesis within professional ethics and theology by Jonas Bauer, Solveig Botnen Eide, Silke Leonhard, Ingvil Lønning, Peter Meyer, Kerstin Söderblom and Lisbeth Thoresen. It gives five thematic sections presenting phenomenona as language, space, gender and body. 3.: Section three is the conclusion, introducing phronetic ethics that is driven from the relational (as source of ethics) and connectedness. The conclusion also discusses the consequences and implications of introducing these perspectives within the fields of theology, professional ethics and work among the marginalized. 207 Seiten, broschiert (Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht 2010) leichte Lagerspuren, Stempel auf Schnitten/unused, minor shelfwear, remainder mark stamp on edge
