Medical Genetics and Genomics: Fundamentals of Biomedical Science

Autor Emanuela Volpi, Lorna Tinworth
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 iun 2025
W. D. Ross is a major figure in the history of moral philosophy. In his 1930 masterpiece The Right and the Good, he gave the first sustained articulation and defense of a new position in moral theory: a moderate form of pluralistic deontology built around his most famous innovation, the concept of prima facie duty. Ross's theory of the good is also pluralistic and can be fruitfully contrasted both with Sidgwick's hedonism and with Moore's version of value pluralism. Ross is an exemplar of clear moral reflection, a defender of the irreducible plurality of common-sense moral standards, a powerful opponent of absolute certainty in moral matters, and an insightful critic of consequentialism. And as a great Aristotle scholar, he is able to clarify how practical wisdom informs moral deliberation and to portray, in illuminating detail, both virtue and virtuous action as paradigms of intrinsic value. The essays in this volume examine key aspects of Ross's moral theory: his concept of prima facie duty, his pluralistic theory of the right, his intuitionist epistemology, his pluralistic theory of the good, and his treatments of virtue and of aesthetic value. They will engage anyone interested in Ross's views on these topics or in the topics themselves.

Notă biografică

Professor Emanuela Volpi graduated in Biological Sciences at the University of Rome 'La Sapienza' and holds a PhD in Evolutionary Biology. She worked as a post-doctoral research fellow at Cancer Research UK in London and was subsequently appointed as a staff scientist by the National Research Council in Italy. Before joining the University of Westminster in 2013 as a reader in Biomedical Science, she was head of the Molecular Cytogenetics and Microscopy Core of the Wellcome Trust Centre for Human Genetics in the Nuffield Department of Clinical Medicine at the University of Oxford. Her primary research and teaching expertise is in human and medical genetics. She is a member of the British Society for Genetic Medicine and the European Cytogeneticists Association and the Genetics Society, and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Biology and the Higher Education Academy.Dr Lorna Tinworth graduated in Molecular Biology and Genetics at Queen Mary's, London, and undertook her PhD at King's College. It was in a post-doctoral role with the Cardiovascular Genetics research team at St George's Hospital, whilst teaching medical students, that Dr. Tinworth discovered her passion and talent for sharing bioscience knowledge. In 2010 she accepted a position at the University of Westminster where she continues to work as a senior lecturer in Molecular Biology. She holds an MA in Higher Education and is a Senior Fellow of Advance HE.
