    Moral Purpose of Literature in Classical Thought
    (White Falcon Publishing, 2025) Eram Fatima
    The primary objective of this paper is to assess the moral value of literature from the perspective of classical thinkers, which demonstrates the persistent conviction that art may be used to foster ethical development. The fundamental theories from Plato's cautions to Aristotle's catharsis to Horace's harmony of delight and educate continue to influence literature till present times. The study combines textual accuracy, philosophical interpretation, comparative analysis, and historical contextualization. Through close reading, the research uncovers how each thinker constructs his argument regarding mimesis, catharsis, poetic decorum, and ethical instruction. Since Plato and Aristotle write within philosophical frameworks, the research utilizes hermeneutics the art of interpretation-to decode their views on truth, virtue, emotion, and the soul. Plato's Theory of Forms and his concept of rational governance of the soul are considered essential to his suspicion of poetry. Aristotle's concept of virtue ethics, emotional balance, and teleological reasoning is foundational in understanding Poetics and Ethics. Horace's Ars Poetica employs a didactic and poetic mode, offering guidance to poets and dramatists. He draws on Roman rhetorical tradition, aiming to equip writers with tools to please audiences while shaping their moral sensibilities. Their legacy lives on in modern debates over the responsibility of the artist, the power of narrative, and the reader's moral engagement with texts.

    Research Ethics in the Digital Age: Foundations and Emerging Dilemmas
    (Book RiversPublication Lucknow, 2026) Dhriti Tiwari
    Research ethics serves as the normative basis for academic inquiry, directing responsible knowledge creation and safeguarding human dignity, especially in the social sciences where research often engages human participants and delicate societal circumstances. Ethical standards, including respect for individuals, beneficence, fairness, and integrity, are vital for sustaining public confidence and academic reputation. Notwithstanding the presence of established ethical norms and regulatory frameworks, researchers consistently encounter enduring ethical challenges, including informed permission, voluntary involvement, secrecy, fraud, plagiarism, and conflicts of interest. The persistent obstacles have been exacerbated by the swift digitalization of research methodologies and the growing implementation of artificial intelligence, which have raised new issues about authorship, originality, transparency, and academic integrity. This chapter examines the meaning, historical progression, theoretical underpinnings, and evolution of research ethics, subsequently addressing both classic and modern ethical dilemmas. The discourse emphasizes the necessity for continual ethical reflexivity to tackle developing issues in a progressively digital research landscape.

    An Exploration of AI, Ethics, and Problem of Consciousness
    (Book Rivers, 2025) Namira Siddiqui, Fatima Sahrish
    This chapter aims to explore the intricate relationship between consciousness and artificial intelligence (AI), encouraging critical thinking about the future of Al and the nature of human experience. It explores what consciousness means focusing on awareness, emotions, thoughts, and self-reflection and contrasts this with the capabilities of modern Al systems. It presents both optimistic and skeptical views about whether machines can ever be conscious, highlighting theories such as Global Workspace Theory, Integrated Information Theory, and Higher-Order Thought Theory. It also discusses the ethical, social, and philosophical implications of creating conscious machines, including issues of rights, responsibility, and human identity. While current Al lacks true consciousness, the chapter highlights the growing importance of this discussion as technology continues to advance rapidly.
