Though the literature on care ethics has mushroomed in recent years, much remains to be said about several important topics therein. One of these is action. In this article, I draw on Anscombean philosophy of action to develop a kind of meta- or proto-ethical theory of caring actions. I begin by showing how the fragmentary philosophy of action offered by care ethicists meshes with Elizabeth Anscombe's broader philosophy of action, and argue that Anscombe's philosophy of action offers a useful scaffold for a theory of caring actions. Following this, I defend an account of caring actions as those that aim to meet needs. I argue that care aims at satisfying eudaimonistic needs, those things without which one cannot flourish. I then consider the place of caring actions in care ethics. I suggest that if caring actions are to be a starting point for an ethical theory, we ought to reject the notion that a caring action must bring about its intended consequences, and I show how the concept of practice better equips us to evaluate caring actions.

“…Perinteisen mieskeskeisen, androsentrisen, hyve-etiikan ongelmista huolimatta on mahdollista muotoilla hyve-etiikkaa, joka ei etuoikeuta miesnäkökulmaa, ylläpidä eriarvoisia valta-ja yhteiskuntarakenteita eikä sivuuta ihmissuhteisiin liittyviä tunteita ja velvoituksia (esim. Berges 2015;Dillon 2017). Ekofeminististä hyve-etiikkaa voidaan myös ajatella mieskeskeistä hyve-etiikkaa tasapainottavana voimana 15 (ks.…”

Ekososiaalinen hyve-etiikka

Artikkelissa muotoillaan ekososiaalista hyve-etiikkaa, jonka ytimessä ovat elävien olentojen suhteet ja hyvän elämän mahdollistaminen monilajisesti. Ekososiaalisen ajattelun ekofeministinen ydin on siinä, että ihmisen sosiaalisen maailman ongelmat, kuten eriarvoisuus, sortava vallankäyttö ja tunnekylmät käyttösuhteet, toistuvat tavoissamme kohdella muita eläviä olentoja. Ekososiaalisen hyve-etiikan muotoilu sisältää vaikutteita 1) ekososiaalisen ajattelusta ja -sivistyksestä, 2) ympäristöhyve-etiikasta ja 3) ekofeminismistä. Tarkastelen lisäksi esimerkillisyyshyve-etiikkaa käytännöllisenä ekososiaalisten hyveiden kasvatuksen tapana. Määrittelen ekososiaalisen hyve-etiikan kasvatuksellisesti kiinnostavaksi etiikan tutkimuksen alaksi, joka tarkastelee ekologis-sosiaalisissa yhteyksissä tarvittavia elämää edistäviä hyveitä, kuten keskinäisriippuvuuksien tajua, huolenpitoa ja käytännöllistä järkeä. Ekososiaalisia hyveitä onkin arvioitava suhteessa ihmisten ja muiden elävien olentojen hyvinvointiin. Pelkän ihmiskeskeisyyden sijaan maan elonyhteisöön suuntautuvan hyveellisyyden oppiminen tarjoaa lähestymistavan ekokriisien ratkaisemiseen.

“…Now we discuss the lattice setup that implements the above ideas. The starting point is a real-time thermal field theory, formulated on the Schwinger-Keldysh contour [38,39]. It amounts to an initial value problem with the following path integral representation for the partition functionwith S E being the Euclidean-and S M the Minkowski space action.…”

Thermal dynamics on the lattice with exponentially improved accuracy

We present a novel simulation prescription for thermal quantum fields on a lattice that operates directly in imaginary frequency space. By distinguishing initial conditions from quantum dynamics it provides access to correlation functions also outside of the conventional Matsubara frequencies ωn = 2πnT . In particular it resolves their frequency dependence between ω = 0 and ω1 = 2πT , where the thermal physics ω ∼ T of e.g. transport phenomena is dominantly encoded. Real-time spectral functions are related to these correlators via an integral transform with rational kernel, so their unfolding is exponentially improved compared to Euclidean simulations.We demonstrate this improvement within a 0 + 1-dimensional scalar field theory and show that spectral features inaccessible in standard Euclidean simulations are quantitatively captured.Modern experiments ranging from heavy-ion collisions at RHIC and LHC [1, 2] to ultracold quantum gases [3] explore the physics of strongly-correlated quantum systems across vastly separated temperature scales (T ∼ 10 12 ..10 −9 K) [4]. A unifying aspect of these studies are thermal phenomena, such as the transport of conserved charges [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] or the in-medium modification of heavy bound states [17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. Connecting these to fundamental interactions, such as QED and QCD, requires a thorough theoretical understanding of the equilibrium properties of quantum fields. Unfortunately in realistic experimental environments many approximate techniques, such as perturbation theory, are inapplicable and a non-perturbative numerical computation is required.Conventional simulations of quantum fields, e.g. lattice QCD, are based on non-perturbative Monte-Carlo techniques relying on an analytic continuation of the realtime axis into the complex plane [24,25], for real-time approaches to spectral functions see e.g. [8][9][10][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34].Two conceptual challenges plague the necessary reconstruction of real-time correlation functions from those simulated in imaginary time: the crucial one is the finite extent of the Euclidean time axis with τ ∈ [0 , 1/T ]. It leads to discrete Matsubara frequencies ω n = 2πnT , which limits the resolution of imaginary frequencies. In turn, increasing the number of temporal points N τ simply increases the maximum frequency available while keeping the spacing fixed. Thus, a large N τ does not improve the access to the relevant regime ω ∼ T , where thermal physics is dominantly encoded in G(ω). The signal to noise ratio for thermal contributions actually decays rapidly above ω ≈ T and indeed, already G(ω 1 = 2πT ) may only be marginally relevant for thermal physics.In order to resolve this conceptual issue, we present a simulation algorithm, which operates in imaginary frequency space with arbitrary resolution, given by the number of frequency points N ω . In particular this approach resolves frequencies between ω 0 and ω 1 .The second issue concerns the unfolding of spectral functions ρ(µ) f...
