Constructivism states that moral truths are neither invented nor discovered, but rather are constructed by rational agents in order to solve practical problems. While constructivism has become the focus of many philosophical debates in normative ethics, meta-ethics and action theory, its importance is still to be fully appreciated. These new essays written by leading scholars define and assess this new approach in ethics, addressing such questions as the nature of constructivism, how constructivism improves our understanding of moral obligations, how it accounts for the development of normative practices, whether moral truths change over time, and many other topics. The volume will be valuable for advanced students and scholars of ethics and all who are interested in questions about the foundation of morality. 606 $aConstructivism (Philosophy) 606 $aEthics 615 0$aConstructivism (Philosophy) 615 0$aEthics. 676 $a171/.7 702 $aBagnoli$b Carla$f1966- 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452797803321 996 $aConstructivism in ethics$92450469 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02968nam 2200601 a 450 001 9910144738303321 005 20170810191529.0 010 $a1-282-34803-5 010 $a9786612348037 010 $a0-470-51533-3 010 $a0-470-51534-1 035 $a(CKB)1000000000377220 035 $a(EBL)470573 035 $a(OCoLC)609849533 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000308501 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11925126 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000308501 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10270434 035 $a(PQKB)10969076 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC470573 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000377220 100 $a19961210d1997 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 04$aThe rising trends in asthma$b[electronic resource] 210 $aChichester, England ;$aNew York $cWiley$d1997 215 $a1 online resource (294 p.) 225 1 $aCiba Foundation symposium ;$v206 300 $aEdited by Derek Chadwick and Gail Cardew. 300 $aProceedings of a conference held at the Ciba Foundation, June 11-13, 1996. 311 $a0-471-97012-3 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and indexes. 327 $aTHE RISING TRENDS IN ASTHMA; Contents; Participants; Introduction; Asthma: a dynamic disease of inflammation and repair; Allergen recognition in the origin of asthma; T cells as orchestrators of the asthmatic response; The structural and functional consequences of chronic allergic inflammation of the airways; Genetic susceptibility to asthma in a changing environment; General discussion I; Interpretation of epidemiological surveys of asthma; Evidence for the increase in asthma worldwide; International trends in asthma mortality; General discussion II; Inferences from occuDationa1 asthma 327 $aThe role of domestic allergensAir pollution and trends in asthma; The role of respiratory viruses in asthma; Prenatal origins of asthma and allergy; Maternal risk factors in asthma; Diet as a risk factor for asthma; Summary; Index of contributors; Subject index 330 $aAsthma is a growing health problem throughout the developed world.
