Book excerpt: Over the past fifty years, (financial) capitalism has brought about an enormous growth in wealth. Millions around the world have been lifted out of poverty. However, the downsides of the present global economic constitution are rapidly becoming evident as well. Rising inequality, soaring debt levels, and repeated cycles of boom and bust have proven to be some of its key characteristics. After the 2008 crisis brought the financial system to the brink of collapse, new regulations, stricter supervision, higher capital requirements, and ethical codes were introduced to the sector. Today we find ourselves in the middle of another economic boom. Yet one pressing question remains: has anything changed? Have the (necessary) repairs fixed the flaws in the system? Or do we require even more fundamental reforms? This volume builds on the observation that society has co-evolved with the financial sector. We cannot simply claim that 'finance' was the sole instigator of the 2008 crisis. Society itself has become financialized; the process of replacing relations, structures of trust and reciprocity, by anonymous and systemic transactions. The volume poses vital questions with regard to this societal development. How did this happen? And more importantly: is change possible? If yes, how? This volume contains 21 essays on the themes mentioned above. Authors include Jan Peter Balkenende, Wouter Bos, Lans Bovenberg, Govert Buijs, and Herman Van Rompuy. A recommendation by Dutch Minister of Finance Wopke Hoekstra is also included.

Book excerpt: Modern medicine has unprecedented power to heal human beings of physical and mental disease, to keep them health, and even to improve the human race. This power can be used to humanize life or to dehumanize and destroy it. It can be used justly to benefit all, or it can be used to benefit the few at the expense of the many. How to use such power is a question of values and, therefore, of individual and group decisions which are not merely technical but ethical. Two reasons have induced us to add to the already extensive literature on medical-ethical and bioethical topics. First, too much of this literature focuses on a few controversial but sometimes minor topics, while neglecting the broader and major issues affecting human health and the health care professions. Second, we want to assist Christian, and especially Catholic, health care professionals and health care facilities faced with the difficult and often puzzling responsibility of giving witness to a long tradition of humanistic health care, while working with other professionals and government agencies committed to diverse value systems. -from Introduction.

Book excerpt: Hippocrates of Kos (c.?460 - c.?370 BC), also known as Hippocrates II, was a Greek physician of the Age of Pericles (Classical Greece), who is considered one of the most outstanding figures in the history of medicine. He is often referred to as the "Father of Medicine" in recognition of his lasting contributions to the field as the founder of the Hippocratic School of Medicine. This intellectual school revolutionized medicine in ancient Greece, establishing it as a discipline distinct from other fields with which it had traditionally been associated (theurgy and philosophy), thus establishing medicine as a profession. However, the achievements of the writers of the Corpus, the practitioners of Hippocratic medicine and the actions of Hippocrates himself were often commingled; thus very little is known about what Hippocrates actually thought, wrote, and did. Hippocrates is commonly portrayed as the paragon of the ancient physician, and credited with coining the Hippocratic Oath, which is still relevant and in use today. He is also credited with greatly advancing the systematic study of clinical medicine, summing up the medical knowledge of previous schools, and prescribing practices for physicians through the Hippocratic Corpus and other works.

Book excerpt: Evangelium vitae, traducido al "Evangelio de la vida", es una encíclica papal promulgada el 25 de marzo de 1995 por el Papa Juan Pablo II. Trata temas relacionados con la santidad de la vida humana, incluyendo el asesinato, el aborto, la eutanasia y la pena capital, reafirmando las posturas de la Iglesia sobre dichos temas de una manera generalmente considerada consistente con las enseñanzas anteriores de la Iglesia.Comenzando con una descripción general de las amenazas a la vida humana tanto en el pasado como en el presente, la encíclica ofrece una breve historia de las muchas prohibiciones bíblicas contra el asesinato y cómo esto se relaciona con el concepto de cultura de la vida. La encíclica aborda acciones específicas a la luz de estos pasajes, incluido el aborto (citando a Tertullian, quien llamó al aborto "asesinato anticipado para evitar que alguien nazca"), eutanasia (que Juan Pablo II llama "perversión perturbadora de la misericordia"), y la pena de muerte.Según Juan Pablo II y el magisterio, el único uso potencialmente aceptable de la pena de muerte es cuando de otro modo no sería posible defender a la sociedad, una situación que es rara, si no existe hoy en día. Luego, la encíclica aborda los factores sociales y ecológicos, enfatizando la importancia de una sociedad que se construye alrededor de la familia en lugar de un deseo de mejorar la eficiencia, y enfatizando el deber de cuidar a los pobres y enfermos.La encíclica también se ocupa de los usos adecuados del sexo y la implementación de los conocimientos sobre adolescentes adolescentes de estos comportamientos.Las enseñanzas de Evangelium vitae sobre la inmoralidad del asesinato, el aborto voluntario y la eutanasia son consideradas infalibles por los teólogos católicos, incluidos los "liberales" (Richard Gaillardetz, Hermann Pottmeyer), los "moderados" (Francis A. Sullivan) y los "conservadores" ( Mark Lowery, Lawrence J. Welch). Según estos teólogos, estas tres enseñanzas no son ejemplos de infalibilidad papal, sino ejemplos de la infalibilidad del Magisterio ordinario y universal. En otras palabras, el Papa Juan Pablo II no estaba ejercitando la infalibilidad papal en esta encíclica, pero afirmaba que estas doctrinas ya habían sido enseñadas infaliblemente por los la Iglesia Católica a lo largo de la historia.
