The journal is committed to raise a critical debate on the contemporary literature produced in Brazil, in its varied manifestations, departing from many theoretical and methodological approaches, with an open dialogue with other literatures and other kinds of artistic expression.
Ethical Theory and Moral Practice: An International Forum is a peer-reviewed journal which aims to publish the best work produced in all fields of ethics. It welcomes high quality submissions regardless of the tradition or school of thought from which they derive. As an editorial priority, however, presentations should be accessible to the philosophical community at large. Ethical Theory and Moral Practice seeks interdisciplinary cooperation between ethics, theology and empirical disciplines such as medicine, economics, sociology, psychology and law. It recognises that distinctions between theory and practice are, to a large extent, artificial. The journal therefore aims to publish theoretically relevant 'practical' ethics and practically relevant 'theoretical' ethics.
This compelling journal publishes articles on an array of topics pertaining to various moral issues and conduct. These matters may include but are not restricted to: * the exercise of social and ethical responsibility in human behaviors; * ethical dilemmas or professional misconduct in health and human service delivery; * the conduct of research involving human and animal participants; * fraudulence in the management or reporting of scientific research; and * public policy issues involving ethical problems. Data based, theoretical, and particularly instructive case analyses, as well as brief summaries of problem cases are also published. An editorial board consisting of specialists in ethics with backgrounds in law, medicine, pediatrics, psychiatry, psychology, public health, sociology, and theology allows for a wide spectrum of perspectives toward ethical issues. Peer Review Policy: All manuscripts undergo preliminary editorial screening and blind review by at least two members of the editorial board or outside content experts.
