Co‐Creative Sustainability
Entrepreneurship and broader business literature show a growing interest in sustainability issues, illuminating the critical role that entrepreneurship can play in addressing the issues facing economic development in diverse socioeconomic settings. This study undertakes a selective systematic literature review and synthesizes co‐creative entrepreneurship research with Foucault's conceptualizations of ethical power and human relationships to deepe…
Both Sides, Now
This is a personal narrative of my stroke and recovery experience, and the medical, psychological, and social circumstances surrounding it
The ethics of war-time data in paediatric trauma
box War-time data have been pivotal in informing the evidence-based management of trauma in modern medicine.1 The established military-industrial complex that Dwight Eisenhower cautioned of in 1961 has now developed into a vast and established global war economy resulting in over 250 conflicts since World War II.2 The war industry relies on rafts of military spending, requiring frequent and large-scale conflict to sustain it. A further frequently…
“When the Music’s Over” then “Dancing with a Partner Will Help You Find the Beat”
Responses to brain injury sit in the intersection between neuroscience and an ethic of care, and require sensitive and dynamic indicators of how an individual with brain injury can learn how to live in the context of a changing environment and multiple timescales. Therapeutic relationships and rhythms underpinning such a dynamic approach are currently obscured by existing models of brain function. Something older is required and we put forward na…

The crisis of patient‐physician trust and bioethics
Trust is indispensable not only for interpersonal relationships and social life, but for good quality healthcare. As manifested in the increasing violence and tension in patient‐physician relationships, China has been experiencing a widespread and profound crisis of patient–physician trust. And globally, the crisis of trust is an issue that every society, either developing or developed, has to face in one way or another. Yet, in spite of some pio…

Minding and Caring about Ethics in Brain Injury
Joseph Fins's book Rights Come to Mind: Brain Injury, Ethics, and the Struggle for Consciousness (Cambridge UP, 2015) is a considerable addition to the literature on disorders of consciousness and the murky area of minimally conscious states. Fins brings to this fraught area of clinical practice and neuroethical analysis a series of stories and reflections resulting in a pressing and sustained ethical challenge both to clinicians and to health ca…
The warrior gene
The discovery of a gene variant linked to aggression and impulsivity in young males led to the term “warrior gene” being coined. A New Zealand researcher linked the slightly higher incidence of this variant in Māori people to the traits that led to criminality and tendencies identified in violent offenders. The net result was to medicalize or individualize the higher incidence of criminal activity in indigenous groups and shift the focus away fro…

You Always Were a Bastard
Are the aggressive remarks of a person with dementia expressions of real feelings, now visible only because a polite veneer has been stripped away? A careful understanding of the nature of personhood suggests otherwise. The self is an intricate story, constructed of causal encounters with the world, the conceptual categories with which we understand the world, and the meanings we then attach to our encounters with the world, all reworked and edit…
Consciousness and Intentionality
Is there an internal relationship between consciousness and intentionality? Can mental content be described in such a way so as to avoid dualism? What is the influence of social context upon consciousness, conceptions of self and mental content? This book considers questions such as these and argues for a conception of consciousness, mental content and intentionality that is anti-Cartesian in its major tenets. Focusing upon the rule governed natu…

Husserl, Wittgenstein and the Snark
The Snark is an intentional object. I examine the general philosophical characteristics of thoughts of objects from the perspective of Husserl's, hyle, noesis, and noema and show how this meets constraints of opacity, normativity, and possible existence as generated by a sensitive theory of intentionality. Husserl introduces terms which indicate the normative features of intentional content and attempts to forge a direct relationship between the …

Ought’ and well‐being
The idea that there is an inherent incentive in moral judgment or, in Classical terms, that there is an essential relationship between virtue and well‐being is sharply criticized in contemporary moral theory. The associated theses that there is a way of living which is objectively good for human beings and that living that way is part of understanding moral truth are equally problematic. The Aristotelian argument proceeded via the premise that a …
Perception and Neuroscience
Perception is often analysed as a process in which causal events from the environment act on a subject to produce states in the mind or brain. The role of the subject is an increasing feature of neuroscientific and cognitive literature. This feature is linked to the need for an account of the normative aspects of perceptual competence. A holographic model is offered in which objects are presented to the subject classified according to rules gover…
Learning to Perceive
A philosophical account of perception has the task of elucidating the interface between the realm of mental attributes and that of physical objects and events. At this interface we come to appreciate the environment as being thus and so on the basis of causal contact with it. It is just at this point that certain problems arise. The first is the general problem of the way in which our sensory systems allow our thought to be about things in the wo…
