Book excerpt: Not only humans and other biological creatures, but also cultures and sciences, communities and corporations have a life of their own ; they develop and grow ; they are successful or fail ; they communicate and cooperate ; they may be in conflict or in harmony with each other. The term 'bio-ethics' was coined by Fritz Jahr (1895-1953), a Protestant pastor and educator in Halle an der Saale, in 1926 with the intention to call for a conceptual and practical broadening of moral obligations not just to fellow humans but towards all forms of life and symbiotic living-together. His Bioethical Imperative 'Respect every living being in general as an end in itself and treat it, if possible, as such !' did not find much recognition or support in the weltanschauung battles before and during the Nazi times in Germany. We all have learned that the 'birth of bioethics' occurred in 1976 in the United States of America as a 'bilocal birth' in Madison, Wisconsin, and in Washington, DC, associated with the names of Van Rensselar Potter, Andre Helleghers, and Sargent Shriver ; and some of us had been involved developing and distributing this model of 'bioethics' as being somewhat identical with medical ethics. It was only at the beginning of this century that Jahr in his integrative and integrating approach was rediscovered as the true “Father of Bioethics”.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ethics of valuing bios in all their forms and shapes has been an essential part of great and successful cultures from the millennia-old Vedic tradition of 'tattvamasi'-this is also you: this plant, this animal, this microbe, this ecosystem-to the simple hands-on call of Jesus's 'love your neighbor.' But as a term bioethics was coined 90 years ago by Fritz Jahr, an educator and pastor in Halle in his Bioethical Imperative 'Respect every Living Being as an end in itself and treat it, if possible, as such.'

Download or read book Health and Happiness of Political Bodies written by Hans-Martin Sass and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2020-10 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1926, the German pastor Fritz Jahr in Halle coined the term `Bioethik' and defined a `Bio-Ethical Imperative: Respect every living being as an end in itself and treat it, if possible, as such'. Bioethics since then has grown from medical ethics and social and political strategies to multidisciplinary and integrated disciplines of research and consulting. In 2020, reflecting and mediating the interactive and integrated ecosystems and interactive networks in biology, society, business, technology and communication, I submit a wider integrated biocultural, corporate and political `Bio-Cultural Imperative: Support direct human inter-action and common-sense as an end in itself and use hardware and software tools only in stabilizing healthy and happy cultures in the bodies of ecologies, corporations and politics'. In 1969 a human walked on the moon, in 1989 the Berlin Wall fell down, in 2001 the World Trade Center in New York fell down, in 2020 a global Corona pandemic fell down on people and communities. Biological, political and corporate bodies change, and we change with them and in them: `tempora mutantur et nos mutamur in illis'. (Hans Martin Sass, preface)
Download or read book Cultures in Bioethics written by Hans-Martin Sass and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2016 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biotopes and Bioethics are highly complex and adaptable systems of Bios. Individual bios is terminal, but the stream of Bios goes on. Basic properties of Bios such as communication and cooperation, competence and competition, contemplation and calculation, compassion and cultivation come in different shades of light and dark in individuals and species, in history and ecology. Hans-Martin Sass discusses the territories of Bios and Bioethics, based on his involvement in decades of consulting in academia, business and politics. Special attention is given to the vision and role of Bioethics in research and training, in religious and cultural traditions, and in the survival, happiness, and health of corporate, social and political bodies. Hans-Martin Sass is Senior Research Scholar Emeritus at Georgetown University, Washington DC, and Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at Ruhr University, Bochum.

Download or read book Border Situations Crises Postcritical Creativity written by Hermes A. Kick and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2020-04 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For none of the central survival problems of mankind, which include the increase of the world population, limited resources, transcultural communication problems and information overload, convincing solution concepts exist so far. The areas of tension mentioned are taken up in this volume and placed in the context of overstrain and rebellion of the individual and society. They are the impetus for philosophical thinking and for the conceptualization of the process-dynamic approach as a survival strategy that leads to practical philosophy. Overcoming the borderline situation shows "what man actually is and can become" (Karl Jaspers). Using numerous examples from the fields of psychotherapy, artistic and political action, this book shows that historical and phenomenological analysis needs to be complemented by a process-dynamic approach.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human reproductive cloning aims to produce duplicates, i.e., people who are phenotypically and genetically identical to those already in existence. This might appear to actually threaten human dignity, because it calls into question our much-vaunted, precious uniqueness. This is precisely what this book sets out to explore: Whether, in what sense, and to what extent human reproductive cloning can threaten human uniqueness and dignity, particularly by either promoting or violating certain human rights or moral rights.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1785, German philosopher Immanuel Kant introduced the 'categorical imperative' for human persons, based on the sanctity of the moral law. Over a century later, Fritz Jahr, a Protestant pastor and educator, expanded on Kant's imperative, offering an integrated view of living natural and social environments. Jahr coined the term 'Bio-Ethik' (Bioethics) and defined the 'bioethical imperative' (also based on the sanctity of life) as: "Respect every Living Being as an end in itself and treat it, if possible, as such!" In this book, 22 essays document the early European roots of modern bioethics and provide guidance for developing global cultures in integrated bioethics.

Families and friends cannot get together, visiting the sick, nor attending funerals.

Download or read book From the Rivers of Babylon to the Rivers of the Internet written by Hans-Martin Sass and published by LIT Verlag. This book was released on 2022-09-21 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rivers of Babylon were built 3500 years ago by technical and political leaders between Euphrates and Tigris, creating the high culture of Mesopotamia, cultivating dry desert lands into fertile soil, built central cities and the Gardens of Semiramis, using the waterways for exchange of communication, commerce, and control. The rivers of the Internet are built in the 21st century creating integrated cultures of people, of things and everything, of geospaces and cyberspaces, of artificial intelligence (AI) and artificial sensuality (AS), changing individuals, cultures and politics, creating newly integrated state and non-state bodies of culture, commerce, control, politics, and power. New tools and technologies have changed our ideational, environmental, economic, political and cultural biotopes, but people and communities are still good or bad as they were 3500 years ago. Hegel measured progress in world history via the progress of the consciousness of freedom in communities and civilizations. The Hegelian geography teacher and 1848 rebel Ernst Kapp measured progress in world history via the cultivation of lands and communities by tools and technologies. Should we understand World History as unilinear (Hegel), or rotating (Polybius), or spiraling (Burckhardt), or conditional on tools and techniques (Kapp), or based on trends and fashions?

This book was released on 2021-03-05 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a unique description of how phenomenology can help professionals from medical, environmental and social fields to explore notions such as interaffectivity, empathy, epoche, reduction, and intersubjective encounter. Written by a group of top scholars, it uniquely covers the relationship between phenomenology and bioethics, and focuses not only on medical cases, but also on the environment and emerging technologies. This variety of themes, whilst including techno-ethics, environmental ethics, animal ethics, and medical ethics, is conducive to appreciating broadly how phenomenology can improve our quality of our life. Despite its difficult themes, the book appeals to an audience of both academics and professionals who are willing to understand how to increase the quality of care in their professional field.

Book excerpt: Van Rensselaer Potter (1911-2001), the biochemist-oncologist of University of Wisconsin-Madison, was long been related to the invention of the term "bioethics". Even today, knowing that the German theologian Fritz Jahr (1895-1953) is to be credited for this invention, Potter's ideas do not lose on their importance, primarily for his opposition to a bioethics narrowed down onto biomedical issues. The book represents the first monograph on Potter's life and work worldwide, telling a fascinating story about a concerned top scientist and humanist.
