EDITOR'S PICK PHILOSOPHY Does Being Religious Make You More Ethical? Can religion and spirituality promote ethical behaviour in the workplace? It’s a contentious issue, but our research comprising interviews with forty Indian top level executives suggests it might. We found that virtues embedded within the various traditions of religion and spirituality (Hinduism, Jainism, Islam, Sikhism, Christianity and Zoroastrianism) play a role in ethical decision-making in the workplace.

Surrealism has made its way into popular usage: when something is strange and maybe even a little creepy, it’s described as surreal. Fluxus is the outlier. It’s a weird word—intentionally so. Fluxus means to flow continuously or to […] Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
EDITOR'S PICK TECHNOLOGY The Future Of Aviation Is Electric? Going electric would reduce the aviation sector’s considerable contribution to air and noise pollution, but its importance to the economies of so many countries, and the huge subsidies it therefore receives, means it has little incentive to decarbonize. Sweden, Denmark and Norway, countries whose geography make them dependent on domestic flights, are already testing small electric planes for these routes, and […] Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked

Uncovering One Of A.I.’s Deepest Mysteries The black box problem is a profound mystery surrounding AI.
