Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Long associated with the Roman Catholic tradition, natural law is seen here as a legitimate philosophical position that can be justified without recourse to Christian theology. . . . Though the Christian ethics are a concern to many readers, McInerny is working from within the Aristotelian-Thomistic tradition, arguing that, while distinct from theology, moral philosophy is best done in the context of faith.

Download or read book Euthanasia Assisted Suicide and the Philosophical Anthropology of Karol Wojtyla written by Ashley K. Fernandes and published by ProQuest. This book was released on 2008 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this dissertation, I show that the philosophical anthropology and Thomistic personalism of Karol Wojtyla (Pope John Paul II) provides a suitable basis for rebutting four arguments in favor of euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide (EPAS): (1) the Argument from Autonomy; (2) the Argument from Compassion; (3) The Argument from the Evil of Suffering; and, (4) the Argument from the Loss of Dignity. The Introduction describes the current EPAS debate and the crucial philosophical questions left unanswered. Chapter I focuses on an evaluation of Wojtyla's personalism, articulated in The Acting Person (1969). By tracing his philosophical influences, and critique of the moral theories of Immanuel Kant and Max Scheler, I demonstrate how Wojtyla comes to arrive at a synthesis of Thomistic metaphysics and Schelerian phenomenology. It is in recognizing oneself as agent (causal efficacy), that one comes to understand moral responsibility, and in doing so allows the moral act to transform the person. This has significant implications for the Argument from Autonomy. Chapter II will show how the Argument from Compassion fails because it places the subjective element of the ethical act at the core of morality, to the neglect of duty. In Chapter III, I demonstrate that the Argument from the Evil of Suffering does not account for suffering's true purpose: acknowledging the vulnerability of persons and its link to human flourishing. In Chapter IV, I argue that the Argument from the Loss of Dignity rests on a confused definition of dignity, since intrinsic dignity exists in humans because they are incommunicable persons. Finally, in Chapter V, I offer an approach to the problem of EPAS that is rooted in the community. Participation in a community is essential to human fulfillment, while the experience of alienation is detrimental. Therefore, I propose that one solution to the EPAS dilemma begins with a steadfast commitment to palliative and hospice care, affirming the value of another precisely because we see "the other" as we see ourselves (another "I"). This will offer a model for the doctor-patient relationship, one that ought to engender a great respect for life, simply because one is a person.

Download or read book The Threads of Natural Law written by Francisco José Contreras and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-13 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The notion of “natural law” has repeatedly furnished human beings with a shared grammar in times of moral and cultural crisis. Stoic natural law, for example, emerged precisely when the Ancient World lost the Greek polis, which had been the point of reference for Plato's and Aristotle's political philosophy. In key moments such as this, natural law has enabled moral and legal dialogue between peoples and traditions holding apparently clashing world-views. This volume revisits some of these key moments in intellectual and social history, partly with an eye to extracting valuable lessons for ideological conflicts in the present and perhaps near future. The contributions to this volume discuss both historical and contemporary schools of natural law. Topics on historical schools of natural law include: how Aristotelian theory of rules paved the way for the birth of the idea of "natural law"; the idea's first mature account in Cicero's work; the tension between two rival meanings of “man’s rational nature” in Aquinas’ natural law theory; and the scope of Kant’s allusions to “natural law”. Topics on contemporary natural law schools include: John Finnis's and Germain Grisez's “new natural law theory”; natural law theories in a "broader" sense, such as Adolf Reinach’s legal phenomenology; Ortega y Gasset’s and Scheler’s “ethical perspectivism”; the natural law response to Kelsen’s conflation of democracy and moral relativism; natural law's role in 20th century international law doctrine; Ronald Dworkin’s understanding of law as “a branch of political morality”; and Alasdair Macintyre’s "virtue"-based approach to natural law.​

Download or read book A World Transformed written by George H. W. Bush and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2011-12-07 with total page 626 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was one of the pivotal times of the twentieth century--during George Bush's presidency, an extraordinary series of international events took place that materially changed the face of the world. Now, former President Bush and his national security advisor, Brent Scowcroft, tell the story of those tumultuous years. Here are behind-the-scenes accounts of critical meetings in the White House and of summit conferences in Europe and the United States, interspersed with excerpts from Mr. Bush's diary. We are given fresh and intriguing views of world leaders such as Mikhail Gorbachev, Boris Yeltsin, Margaret Thatcher, Helmut Kohl, and François Mitterrand--and witness the importance of personal relationships in diplomacy. There is the dramatic description of how President Bush put together the alliance against Saddam Hussein in the Gulf War. There are the intensive diplomatic exchanges with Beijing following the events of Tiananmen Square, and the intricate negotiations leading up to German reunification. And there is the sometimes poignant, sometimes grim portrayal of Gorbachev's final years in power. A World Transformed is not simply a record of accomplishment; Bush and Scowcroft candidly recount how the major players sometimes disagreed over issues, and analyze what mistakes were made. This is a landmark book on the conduct of American foreign policy--and how that policy is crucial to the peace of the world. It is a fascinating inside look at great events that deepens our understanding of today's global issues.
