LET'S TALK BUSINESS ETHICS!

I have found a very interesting thought on what it takes to edit a text, to do a good job at editing an ancient or medieval text. Maybe some Romanian "young scholars" will stop for a minute and think about their editing and translating work so far. "But it may be worth pointing out a common fallacy concerning the qualifications required [to edit an ancient or medieval text]. For ...

I am publishing here some bibliographical notes that may be useful to those interested in Ethics Management (where EM stands for the 'management of ethics (in organizations)' and not for 'management ethics' or 'managerial ethics', which is ethics for the management of organizations). Contrary to my general method, this reference list will be chronologically arranged. I believe this way we can observe any development step taken in the ...

For those interested in Risk Analysis and Risk Management, the name of David Vose is well-known. For those not knowing him, all I have to say is that he is the author of "Risk Analysis: A Quantitative Guide", published by John Wiley & Sons publishing house. He is also the owner of Vose Consulting, the best company in risk analysis. [caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="373" caption="David Vose, Risk Analysis ...

In 2006, Alexandru Surdu a publicat la editura Olms, , in colectia "Zur modernen Deutung der aristotelischen Logik", un volum intitulat Aristotelian Theory of Prejudicative Forms ( ISBN13: 978-3-487-13209-9). Pana la ora cand scriu aceste randuri nu am avut ocazia sa pun mana pe cartea respectiva, dar nu despre ea vreau sa vorbesc acum. Chiar daca stiu la ce ma pot astepta de la o carte semnata de ...

The Italian Renaissance brought us closer to the writings attributed to Aristotle, no doubt about that, but was the claim of the Italian Renaissance scholars that we should look for 'intentio Aristotelis' true? They went so far by saying that becoming acquintated to the Attic Greek of Aristotle we could understand his opinions in a new light, one that has nothing to do with the tradition formed during ...

In the last twenty years, or since the introduction of Internet, scholars from all over the world had the chance to get closer and closer to Aquinas' writings. Manuscript repositories from various European and American parts opened their pages via virtual libraries to almost anyone interested. HMML's Vivarium is making no exception. The Vivarium is hosting an on-line selection of folios from two 14th cent. manuscripts containing Aquinas' ...

In urma cu vreo 7, 8 ani, profesorul M. Balan de la Facultatea de Filosofie din Bucuresti avea initiativa realizarii unui Dictionar de filosofi romani dupa standarde din lumea academica anglo-saxona. Desi multi dintre cei selectati s-au aratat foarte interesati de anumiti autori, rezultatele au fost, intr-o oarecare masura, timide. Foarte putini, mult prea putini, dintre cei care isi asumasera o astfel de sarcina au mers sa desfasoare ...

Revin dupa ceva timp de absenta doar ca sa semnalez o recenzie la un volum care plagiaza o lucrare de licenta sustinuta la Babes-Bolyai in 2004.

Citind comentariul din "Dilematica", nu pot sa nu ...

Declaratia unuia dintre membrii echipei de informaticieni SYTECH, care a castigat Imagine Cup de anul acesta, ar trebui sa-i puna pe ganduri pe guvernantii nostri. Din pacate, traim intr-o tara condusa de indivizi care nu vad decat propriul interes si nu vor face nimic pentru welfare-ul general. Citez declaratia data Evenimentului Zilei: “O să fim proprii noştri şefi, intenţionăm să dezvoltăm o firmă care să lucreze numai cu guvernele mai ...
