These accessible examples of abstract ethical and philosophical ideas are intended to draw out deeper discussions with friends, family, and students. Reviews 5/5 Stars!"With Science fiction we can explore other galaxies and alien conflicts, but with philosophical fiction we can explore other minds and ethical conflicts. Let this book take you on a Phi-Fi adventure."- William Irwin, Ph. D. - Philosophy Professor, King's College"After Dinner Conversation has taken up the initiative to write themed collections of short stories that fit focused ethics courses - say, a course on bioethics, AI ethics, Tech ethics etc. These collections can offer a spine for such courses or individual stories could be added to a course as illustrative material to stimulate discussion. The stories are lively and engaging and followed by a set of questions to start classroom discussion. Also, outside of educational contexts, the stories will work nicely to stimulate conversation in families, elder hostels, youth clubs, or book groups. Give it a try - I trust that you will enjoy working with the material in this book!"- Luc Bovens, Ph. D. - Philosophy Professor, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill ???

After Dinner Conversation Magazine - After Dinner Conversation Magazine, #25

Par ses rapports annuels Doing Business, la Banque mondiale a ouvert en grand la perspective : l'évaluation de l'aptitude du droit à favoriser une prospérité économique née de la création spontanée d'entreprises privées. Les réglementations économiques de tous les pays du monde y sont confrontées, évaluation par la comparaison, chaque corps de règles juridiques est mis face aux effets économiques produits, évaluation par les résultats. La perspective est vite devenue polémique. En France plus que partout ailleurs, cette évaluation de la performance économique du droit est débattue, et dans son principe, et dans ses modalités, et dans l'usage qui en est fait. Cet ouvrage saisit l'occasion pour reprendre le débat, en le centrant sur la mesure des effets économiques du droit. Cette évaluation est reprise dans son principe, le choix des critères en général et leur maniement particulier. Ainsi, le processus d'évaluation est analysé aussi bien en droit de la faillite, qu'en droit du travail ou en droit de la procédure. De quoi entrer d'une façon plus réfléchie dans le débat. Celui-ci y gagne toujours.
