This collection addresses whether ethicists, like authorities in other fields, can speak as experts in their subject matter. Though ethics consultation is a growing practice in medical contexts, there remain difficult questions about the role of ethicists in professional decision-making. Contributors examine the nature and plausibility of moral expertise, the relationship between character and expertise, the nature and limits of moral authority, how one might become a moral expert, and the trustworthiness of moral testimony.

The situated character of legal reasoning, given its complexity, like reasoning in neuroscience, can be notoriously fallible. Legal and scientific reasoning is to be understood within a broader context in order to emphasize both the continuity and the porous relationship between the two.

Son discours est d’or et nous apporte le recul permettant l’esprit critique et l’autonomie. …

« Une civilisation qui oublie son passé est condamnée à le revivre. C’est forte de cette maxime, énoncée au début du xxe siècle par le philosophe américain George Santayana, que notre civilisation a instauré et institutionnalisé la mémoire de l’extermination des Juifs d’Europe.
