Patientens Bästa - En Kritisk Introduktion Till Läkaretiken
Medicinsk-etiska frågor återkommer ofta i den offentliga debatten eftersom de är avgörande för både vårdens praktiska inriktning och även hur vi ser, mer teoretiskt, på människolivets värde. I Patientens bästa argumenterar Axel Carlberg för att reflektionen kring dessa frågor bör utgå ifrån en "närhetsprincip", det vill säga en djupare förståelse av patient-läkare-relationen och de moraliska förpliktelser som läkaren har gentemot patienten. Den medicinska etiken bör först och främst bottna i en tydlig läkaretik. I sin diskussion resonerar Carlberg kring läkaretikens grunder, sambandet mellan läkekonstens vetenskapliga metod och etiska förhållningssätt, patientens identitet och etikens roll. Carlbergs slutresonemang belyser hur denna etik förhåller sig till den lojalitetskonflikt mellan forskning och patientens bästa som uppstår i kliniska prövningar. Boken bör intressera läkare, läkarstudenter, medicinetiker och alla som vill närma sig medicinsk-etiska frågor från ett mer filosofiskt perspektiv.
Etik I Krisens Skugga - Det Nya Ledarskapets Krav Och Möjligheter
De kommande åren blir avgörande för mänsklighetens framtid. De stora utmaningar som mänskligheten står inför när det gäller klimatet, en krisande ekonomi, ett krig i närområdet, den ökande politiska instabiliteten och AI:s intåg i våra liv kräver mer etiskt upplysta och handlingskraftiga ledare. Om vi vill att saker och ting ska hända i rätt riktning krävs det en kursändring i sättet att tänka och agera. I denna bok utforskar Axel Carlberg ledarskapets etiska dimension. Han gör det genom att 1) formulera ett ramverk som förtydligar ledares skyldigheter och ansvar, 2) belysa mer ingående förhållandet mellan etik och ledarskap och 3) analysera några frågor med stor etisk relevans såsom personlig mognad, makt och samhällsansvar. I boken framträder bilden av ett nytt ledarskap som är mer avstämt med dagens utmaningar och etikens krav. Axel Carlberg är doktor i etik vid Lunds universitet. Han är verksam som coach, facilitator och ledarskapsutbildare inom MiL Institute. Han är också aktiv i olika europeiska forskningsnätverk som etisk rådgivare och expert.
