This book investigates the pronounced enthusiasm that many traditions display for codes of ethics characterised by a multitude of rules. Recent anthropological interest in ethics and historical explorations of 'self-fashioning' have led to extensive study of the virtuous self, but existing scholarship tends to pass over the kind of morality that involves legalistic reasoning. Rules and ethics corrects that omission by demonstrating the importance of rules in everyday moral life in a variety of contexts. In a nutshell, it argues that legalistic moral rules are not necessarily an obstruction to a rounded ethical self, but can be an integral part of it. An extended introduction first sets out the theoretical basis for studies of ethical systems that are characterised by detailed rules. This is followed by a series of empirical studies of rule-oriented moral traditions in a comparative perspective.
The Irish writer, Deirdre Madden, has written key novels about the Northern Irish Troubles and about contemporary Ireland. In these works, she weighs up the aftermath of violence and the impact of the shift to a more open but materialist society in the country overall. Memory, trauma, and the abiding but elusive links between the past and the present are central concerns of her fiction. This pioneering set of essays by leading experts in Irish Studies explores the many dimensions of her novels from a wide variety of perspectives. Madden's skill at interweaving novels of ideas with artist novels that draw out the complex inner predicaments of her characters is highlighted. States of dislocation are concentrated on in her texts, but also the quest for a home in the world and a lasting set of values that allows for personal integrity and authenticity. These multifaceted explorations bear out the compelling and enduring aspects of Madden's highly regarded novels.

Der Vater tot, die Mutter fort, das Haus verwaist. Nach dem Suizid ihres Vaters sucht die Erzählerin von Der Süden das Zwiegespräch mit dem Verstorbenen. Wer war der Mann, der dem Kind so rätselhaft erschien? Ein Zauberer, der mit seiner Wünschelrute Verborgenes aufspürt? Ihr Verbündeter gegen die verbitterte Mutter? Auf der Suche nach seinem Geheimnis begibt sie sich in den Süden – doch was anfangen mit Antworten, die zu spät kommen? Karges Land, verrümpelte Turmzimmer, Eukalyptuswälder – abgründig sind die Schauplätze der Kindheit, die Adelaida García Morales in Bene erzählt. Ein mysteriöses neues Dienstmädchen bringt das eintönige Familienleben ins Wanken. Bene ist verwandt mit Bettlern, vorlaut, frivol – und darf doch bleiben. Ist es die Milde des Vaters oder steckt mehr dahinter? Zwischen Aberglauben, Antiziganismus und Albträumen forscht die Erzählerin nach der Wahrheit. Adelaida García Morales' Novellen sind magische Beschwörungen der Vergangenheit. Lakonisch und eindringlich erzählen sie von Familie, Leid und obsessiver Liebe. Wie, fragen sie unaufhörlich, kann man Trauer in Sinn verwandeln?

"Die Beiträge zu diesem Band haben ihren Ausgangspunkt in der Frage, ob eine moralfreie Theorie der Moral möglich und ob sie wissenschaftlich boten ist. Angesichts einer langen, ergebnislosen Diskussion der Wertfreiheit der Wissenschaft wird dieses Thema hier nicht wissenschaftstheoretisch weiterbehandelt. Statt dessen versuchen die Autoren vorzuführen, wie verschiedene Auffassungen zu diesem Thema durchführbar sind. Die vier Zugangsweisen, die sie wählen, sind: funktionale Analyse; ein Herauspräparieren der Grenzen, die der wissenschaftlichen Begriffsbildung durch die Besonderheit des Gegenstandes der Moral gezogen sind; eine Fallanalyse; Typenbildung. Das Ziel ist, mit der theorietechnischen Ausarbeitung möglicher Optionen Klarheit über die Möglichkeit einer moralfreien Theorie der Moral und über Moral se zu gewinnen."
