Summary: This article explores a less-discussed aspect of conventional Dirty Hands (DH) analyses and argues that the phenomenon of DH can also be seen as a weapon of the weak, used by the marginalized and dispossessed to resist injustice. By examining the concept of "everyday resistance" and looking at examples from African-American history, the article offers a new perspective on the ethics of resistance in democratic politics, highlighting the connection between subterfuge and complicity.

Summary: Engineering ethics is an essential aspect of accredited ABET programs, but there is a lack of consistency in how ethics is taught and assessed. This study examines exemplary engineering ethics programs recognized by the National Academy of Engineering and revises a coding framework to identify trends in learning objectives, instructional strategies, and assessment strategies. The results show that ethical sensitivity is a common learning objective in all exemplars, and various instructional strategies are used. Assignments/homework and summative reflections are commonly used for assessment. The study provides practical suggestions for assessing engineering ethics instruction.

Summary: The integration of functional human neuron networks into a silicon computing environment is discussed using the case study of creating silicon-biological intelligence. By embedding the DishBrain system into a virtual game world, the system successfully learns to play 'Pong' and exhibits intelligent behavior. However, the creation of such hybrid, silicon-biological intelligence raises ethical challenges, particularly the risk of creating synthetic phenomenology.

Summary: As a collective action problem, climate change is best addressed through coordination. Most moral philosophers agree that as political citizens, we have a responsibility to help establish such coordination. However, there is disagreement on our individual responsibilities as consumers to reduce emissions before coordination is established. From a Kantian deontological perspective, we have a perfect duty to refrain from activities that we would not perform if appropriate coordination were in place.

Summary: In "Thinking like a Mall," Steven Vogel argues that there is no authoritative nature independent of human standards, and our destructive practices have degraded the environment. To correct these practices, we need to become alienated from them and make democratic choices that align with our values. However, this paper suggests that there is a missing step in this process - understanding the broader social and institutional framework, "Ethical Life", and the normative change necessary to address alienation.

Summary: Issues of interest, identity and values are interconnected in environmental conflicts. To address these challenges, a relational understanding of environmental ethics and the concept of 'appropriateness of actions' are introduced. Success factors for supporting appropriate actions include understanding context and identifying key stakeholders, surfacing diverse interests and building system-level trust, building empathy for different identities grounded in specific places, eliciting diverse values and seeking to understand their links to worldviews and knowledge systems, and seeking out appropriate actions.

Summary: This paper argues that political leadership often requires "dirty hands" due to its relationship with violence. Violent means create a dominating power, which conflicts with the proper goals of political action. This power often affects non-target individuals and empowers unscrupulous agents. The justifications for violence in politics are "supra-moral," motivated by the value of morality as a whole rather than specific moral values. The indeterminate importance given to these goals often leads to uncancelled negative consequences resulting from the evil of violence.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has led to increased reliance on private infrastructure and digital services in various sectors. This has granted private actors significant power and resulted in the emergence of digital surveillance practices. The paper argues that governments should ensure the justifiability of data disclosure and monitoring by private actors in public health emergencies, and regulate and oversee these private surveillance practices.

Summary: In this article, the main problems related to the neurorights of autonomous action are explored, specifically free will and cognitive liberty. A holistic interpretation of human actions is proposed as a possible solution. The article discusses conceptual and practical issues with the neuroright to free will, analyzes the origins and current status of cognitive liberty, criticizes mainstream action theory's concept of decision, and suggests a unified framework for interpreting cases involving neurotechnologies. The importance of introducing freedom of thought and personal autonomy as complementary neurorights is outlined.

Summary: This article explores the potential use of smart speakers to detect and report intimate partner violence (IPV). The authors argue that the ethical and political considerations differ depending on whether the decision to develop or use this technology is being considered. They urge resistance to the development of this technology in order to avoid potential risks, or if it is developed, ensuring the involvement of victim-survivors from different demographics, as well as government and non-government stakeholders in shaping the technology and its regulations.

Summary: Is Agassi's philosophy of practical affairs applicable in philosophical practice? It could be useful, but not suitable for all counselors. His critical rational approach requires prior awareness and may not always be relevant to the concerns of counselees.
