商品描述

This book examines the "ethics in relation to city and urbanism" by evaluating the strengths and limitations of rights as a conceptual tool from the comparative East-West perspective in resolving urban controversies (involving conflicts of rights between different classes, different groups within the present generation, present vs future generations, human vs animals, human vs plants and nature), thereby facilitating urban policy-making and good urban governance.

This book adopts an interdisciplinary approach integrating political theory, ethics, urban studies, public policy, making applications of ethics and political philosophy to social sciences to examine controversial urban issues in the Hong Kong context. It challenges the general conception that philosophy and ethics are detached from everyday life, with the philosophers engaging mainly in abstract intellectual pursuit and some of them even disdaining "pedestrian" applications of abstract thinking. This book makesapplications of ethics and political philosophy to real-life urban contexts in Hong Kong, thereby trying to highlight the normative in order to throw new light to the general approach and strategy to deal with practical urban issues, facilitating "out-of-the-box" thinking in the field of housing and urban studies, stimulating scholars, researchers, and students in the fields, urban planners, urban managers, and other professionals as well as urban policy-makers.


商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書從東西方比較的角度，評估權利作為一個概念工具在解決城市爭議（涉及不同階級、現今世代內不同群體、現在與未來世代、人類與動物、人類與植物及自然之間的權利衝突）時的優點和限制，從而促進城市政策制定和良好的城市治理。

本書採用跨學科的方法，將政治理論、倫理學、城市研究、公共政策相結合，將倫理學和政治哲學應用於社會科學，以香港的具體背景來研究有爭議的城市問題。它挑戰了一般觀念，即哲學和倫理學與日常生活脫節，哲學家主要從事抽象的智力追求，其中一些人甚至輕視對抽象思維的實際應用。本書將倫理學和政治哲學應用於香港的實際城市情境，試圖突顯規範性，以便為處理實際城市問題的一般方法和策略提供新的視角，促進住房和城市研究領域的創新思維，激發學者、研究人員和學生，以及城市規劃師、城市管理者和其他專業人士以及城市政策制定者。
