Moral Sensitivity, Moral Transformation, and Evolutionary Scientist David Loye: An Introduction
This article introduces the two major themes of this issue of the Interdisciplinary Journal of Partnership Studies: moral sensitivity and transformation, and honoring the late evolutionary systems scientist David Loye. The article shows how these two themes are integrally interconnected. Loye introduced the term âmoral sensitivityâ as well as the distinction between âpartnership moral sensitivityâ and âdominator moral insensitivityâ or âmoralism,â showing how the latter has been used to push us back to âstrong-manâ rule, violence, and injustice. He was the first to reclaim what he called âDarwinâs lost theoryâ based on Charles Darwinâs long-ignored writings about human evolution, including what Darwin called âthe moral sense.â Quoting from some of Loyeâs more than 30 published books as well as a sampling of articles, the article highlights his gift of bringing to life the people and times he wrote about, including the men and women he called âthe great scientific explorers of the better world.â Colorful examples from his many writings illustrate how Loye advanced the study of human evolution through his offerings on moral sensitivity, clarifying much that is otherwise obscured, and showing his enormous contributions to a better understanding of our past, present, and the possibilities for our future. The article provides new terms and new ideas for building a more equitable, less violent, more sustainable future through the works of a man first known for his prize-winning book on the immorality of racism, whose later works focused on how we can create a future where we not only survive, but thrive

The Power of Women: A Conversation with the Honorable VigdĂs FinnbogadĂłttir
Riane Eisler interviews VigdĂs FinnbogadĂłttir, president of Iceland from 1980 to 1996, at her home in Iceland, about equality and partnership. The nation of Iceland got its independence from the kingdom of Denmark in 1944; in its infancy as a democracy, Icelanders elected a single divorced mother as their head of state, which gained world attention. She was the worldâs first democratically elected woman president, and the longest-serving. Since then she has been a leader in Iceland and internationally, with the Council of Women World Leaders, UNESCO, The Club of Madrid, and The VigdĂs International Centre for Multilingualism and Intercultural Understanding at the University of Iceland.
