definitional issue

Library

First, Quarantelli has an analytic philosophical approach to the definitional issue, and his work is an eminent example of Carnap’s idea of explication, ‘the transformation of an inexact, prescientific concept, the explicandum, into a new exact concept, the explicatum’ (Carnap 1950, 3).

une approche philosophique analytique de la question de la définition

Une méthode pour examiner comment un terme ou un concept doit être défini au moyen de la philosophie analytique.

Disasters: Core Concepts and Ethical Theories

This Open Access Book is the first to examine disasters from a multidisciplinary perspective. Justification of actions in the face of disasters requires recourse both to conceptual analysis and ethical traditions. Part 1 of the book contains chapters on how disasters are conceptualized in different academic disciplines relevant to disasters. Part 2 has chapters on how ethical issues that arise in relation to disasters can be addressed from a number of fundamental normative approaches in moral and political philosophy. This book sets the stage for more focused normative debates given that no one book can be completely comprehensive.
