| Summary |
"The importance of responsibility in the third millennium is increasing. The rise of new technologies and related environmental hazards, the problem of the neglect of poor and old people, and the increase in violence and aggression in general indicate that responsibility is the characteristic which is of critical importance for the survival of modern democratic structures." "This volume integrates the many facets of responsibility and reviews the research on a scientific basis. Responsibility is examined from different as well as interdisciplinary perspectives together with the applied aspects of responsibility (solidarity, volunteerism, moral development). Responsibility is made up of four parts: introduction; basic issues and domains of responsibility; applications of responsibility; and perspectives." "Responsibility brings together international researchers who emphasise empirical analysis but also examine the theoretical aspects of the topic."--BOOK JACKET |
