Description
Alles über E-Books | Antworten auf Fragen rund um E-Books, Kopierschutz und Dateiformate finden Sie in unserem Info- & Hilfebereich.
Christopher Kaczor critiques some of the most recent and influential positions in bioethics, while eschewing both consequentialism and principalism. Rooted in the Catholic principle that faith and reason are harmonious, this book shows how Catholic bioethical teaching is rationally defensible in terms that people of good will, secular or religious, can accept. Proceeding from a natural law perspective, Kaczor defends the inherent dignity of all human beings and argues that they merit the protection of their basic human goods because of that inherent dignity. Philosophers interested in applied ethics, as well as students and professors of law, will profit from reading Disputes in Bioethics. The book aims to be both philosophically sophisticated and accessible for students and experienced researchers alike.
Reviews / Votes
"Disputes in Bioethics is accessible yet scholarly, and a very fine orientation around many key issues in contemporary bioethics." -Studies in Christian Ethics"When a book treats bioethical questions in a manner consistent with the Catholic sanctity-of-life ethic, it deserves readership. Christopher Kaczor's is such a book." -National Catholic Register
"I really learned from Disputes in Bioethics, not only about the issues but also from the clarity, deftness, concision, comprehensiveness, and biting wit of the arguments." -Matthew R. Petrusek, co-editor of Value and Vulnerability
"Disputes in Bioethics is a real contribution to the field of analytic ethics, in defense of the Christian faith's insistence that human beings are worthy of respect from conception until natural death." -Kevin Flannery, S.J., author of Action and Character According to Aristotle
"Disputes in Bioethics addresses pressing topics in the medical arena. The book will interest students and scholars in medical ethics, nursing ethics, and moral theology." -Thomas Cavanaugh, author of Hippocrates' Oath and Asclepius' Snake
