Applied philosophy aims to use philosophical thought to provide practical solutions to ethical and social problems encountered in everyday life. By effectively applying this discipline in various fields, our association aims to approach the challenges faced by individuals and societies from a philosophical perspective. Applied philosophy, which reminds us that philosophical thinking is effective in all areas of life, aims to think critically, make ethical decisions and create social awareness.
Applied philosophy, such as environmental ethics, bioethics, and philosophy of education, offers solutions to social problems and explores how ethical principles can be integrated into social life. Sub-disciplines such as technology, law, gender and philosophy of art offer in-depth evaluations on various topics. Our association aims to raise awareness of intellectual and ethical problems in these fields.
The goal of our association is to emphasize the role of philosophical thinking in our daily lives and to address ethical and social issues in various areas of society. Our educational programs and events aim to show how philosophical approaches can be applied to social problems. In addition, through projects in various fields, we aim to demonstrate the potential of philosophical thinking to improve our social values and quality of life.
The abstract of the article by Cristina Voinea, Tenzin Wangmo and Constantin Vică discusses an important issue of how AI is being used in elderly care. The paper details AI's approach to intervening in the elderly by prioritizing their well-being rather than fulfilling their wishes. This approach aims to protect the safety and health of the elderly by limiting their decisions, but also raises ethical debates as it restricts their autonomy.
