Case studies from Rwanda and Angola show how the cost of inaction can be greater than the cost of action. Failure to reduce extreme poverty, for example, often results in malnutrition, preventable morbidity, premature death, and incomplete basic education. Differences between the COI approach and traditional benefit-cost analysis are highlighted.

In this book Keith Graham examines the philosophical assumptions behind the ideas of group membership and loyalty. Drawing out the significance of social context, he challenges individualist views by placing collectivities such as committees, classes or nations within the moral realm. He offers an understanding of the multiplicity of sources which vie for the attention of human beings as they decide how to act, and challenges the conventional division between self-interest and altruism. He also offers a systematic account of the different ways in which individuals can identify with or distance themselves from the groups to which they belong. His study will be of interest to readers in a range of disciplines including philosophy, politics, sociology, law and economics.

"Today, about 98 percent of scientists affirm that climate change is human made, and about 2 percent still question it. Despite that overwhelming majority, though, about half the population of rich countries, like ours, choose to believe the 2 percent. And, paradoxically, this large camp of deniers grows even larger as more and more alarming proof of climate change has cropped up over the last decades. This disconnect has both climate scientists and activists scratching their heads, growing anxious, and responding, usually, by repeating more facts to 'win' the argument. But, the more climate facts pile up, the greater the resistance to them grows, and the harder it becomes to enact measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and prepare communities for the inevitable change ahead. Is humanity up to the task? It is a catch-22 that starts, says psychologist and climate expert Per Espen Stoknes, from an inadequate understanding of the way most humans think, act, and live in the world around them. With dozens of examples, he shows how to retell the story of climate change and apply communication strategies more fit for the task."--Publisher's description.

Now and then, we hear about everyday heroes riding to the rescue when they see someone suffering or being harassed. But most bystanders don't intervene. Catherine Sanderson turns to cutting-edge research in social psychology and neuroscience to explain why we so often fail to act and offers practical strategies to nudge us into being brave.

Cette étude porte sur le motif de l'impossibilité d'agir, récurrent dans la littérature dramatique et philosophique occidentale depuis "Hamlet" à nos jours. Hamlet n'est en effet pas seul à avoir des difficultés à passer à l'acte : il en est de même pour le Faust de Marlowe, le Samson de Milton, le Prométhée de Shelley, et Estragon et Vladimir dans "En attendant Godot". L'analyse de l'inaction de ces personnages éclaire les modèles d'action déployés dans les textes philosophiques en question : certains essais de Donald Davidson, les "Deux traités sur le gouvernement" de Locke, "La naissance de la tragédie" de Nietzsche, "Auteur et héros en activité esthétique" de Bakhtin, "Les investigations philosophiques" de Wittgenstein, les essais sur la guerre du Golfe de Baudrillard et Lyotard. Le théâtre d'Aeschylle et la conception aristotélicienne de l'action permettent d'évaluer les limites introduites par la catégorie du sujet dans le modèle d'action qui prédomine dans la modernité.
