Table of ContentsReviewsThis provocative volume extends the precise but narrow confines of Jeremy Bentham's ethical thought through an unlikely combination with contemporary game theory, the psychoanalytical categories of Jacques Lacan, and Vladimir Jankelevitch's philosophy of the ineffable. Denouncing Kantian moral notions like autonomy or dignity as 'fictitious' and 'fallacious', it makes a case for prioritising the value of intimacy in ethical decision-making. Clero's 'Investigation' shows how a broad-minded utilitarianism proves surprisingly congenial to the promotion of intimacy in relations of care, inside and outside of medical contexts.--Peter Niesen, University of Hamburg In line with his research published in 2011 under the title Calcul Moral (Moral Calculation) and his articles published in the Revue francaise d'Ethique appliquee and Ethics, Medicine and Public Health, Jean-Pierre Clero here deepens the critical inquiry he has made into a few traditional categories of ethics, such as 'person' or 'dignity'. The author wonders what categories could be substituted for those that are no longer appropriate, reserving here the benefit of the notion of 'intimacy'. The originality of this book lies in the fact that a Francophone author speaks in English to an Anglophone public for whom utilitarianism is an obvious possibility of ethics: is it to show this audience aspects of Francophone ethics that are most often missed and on which it could draw to enrich its analyses? Or is it to convince Francophone researchers who read English that they could make more use of classical, modern, and contemporary Anglophone authors, a less Kantian or post-Kantian turn? It is in any case on the border between these two questions that each chapter of this sharp and stimulating book has been written.--Thierry Belleguic, Laval University In line with his research published in 2011 under the title Calcul Moral (Moral Calculation) and his articles published in the Revue fran aise d' thique appliqu e and Ethics, Medicine and Public Health, Jean-Pierre Cl ro here deepens the critical inquiry he has made into a few traditional categories of ethics, such as 'person' or 'dignity'.
