Lepší než člověk
ISBN: 9788070077078 / Czeski / Miękka / 2022 / 267 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Je morálně oprávněné, aby medicína nejen léčila nemoci, ale i vylepšovala člověka? Věda by mohla v dohledné době zvýšit lidskou inteligenci, zlepšit paměť, prodloužit život a zpomalit stárnutí, a dokonce i zdokonalit náš charakter. V současné diskusi naneštěstí převládají extrémní pozice -- na jedné straně konzervatismus, varující před nástupem zdokonalených nadlidí, kteří si podmaní zbytek lidstva, na straně druhé nekritický optimismus, věřící v technologické řešení všech lidských problémů. Americký bioetik Allen Buchanan ve své...

Heart of Human Rights
ISBN: 9780199325382 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This is the first attempt to provide an in-depth moral assessment of the heart of the modern human rights enterprise: the system of international legal human rights. It is international human rights law--not any philosophical theory of moral human rights or any "folk" conception of moral human rights--that serves as the lingua franca of modern human rights practice. Yet contemporary philosophers have had little to say about international legal human rights. They have tended to assume, rather than to argue, that international legal human rights, if morally justified, must mirror or at least...

Better Than Human: The Promise and Perils of Enhancing Ourselves
ISBN: 9780190664046 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In Better than Human?, noted bioethicist Allen Buchanan grapples with the ethical dilemmas of the medical revolution now upon us. Biomedical enhancements, he writes, can make us smarter, have better memories, be stronger, quicker, have more stamina, live much longer, be more resistant to disease and to the frailties of aging, and enjoy richer emotional lives. They can even improve our character, or at least strengthen our powers of self-control. In spite of the benefits that biomedical enhancements may bring, many people instinctively reject them. Some worry that we will lose...

Human Rights, Legitimacy, and the Use of Force
ISBN: 9780195389654 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The thirteen essays by Allen Buchanan collected here are arranged in such a way as to make evident their thematic interconnections: the important and hitherto unappreciated relationships among the nature and grounding of human rights, the legitimacy of international institutions, and the justification for using military force across borders. Each of these three topics has spawned a significant literature, but unfortunately has been treated in isolation. In this volume Buchanan makes the case for a holistic, systematic approach, and in so doing constitutes a major contribution at the...

From Chance to Choice: Genetics and Justice
ISBN: 9780521669771 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 414 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Written by four internationally renowned bioethicists, From Chance to Choice is the first systematic treatment of the fundamental ethical issues underlying the application of genetic technologies to human beings. Probing the implications of the remarkable advances in genetics, the authors ask how should these affect our understanding of distributive justice, equality of opportunity, the rights and obligations as parents, the meaning of disability, and the role of the concept of human nature in ethical theory and practice. The book offers a historical context to contemporary debate over the...

This book articulates a systematic vision of an international legal system grounded in the commitment to justice for all persons. It provides a probing exploration of the moral issues involved in disputes about secession, ethno-national conflict, "the right of self-determination of peoples," human rights, and the legitimacy of the international legal system itself.

In this volume Allen Buchanan collects ten of his most influential essays on justice and healthcare and connects the concerns of bioethicists with those of political philosophers, focusing not just on the question of which principles of justice in healthcare ought to be implemented, but also on the question of the legitimacy of institutions through which they are implemented. With an emphasis on the institutional implementation of justice in healthcare, Buchanan pays special attention to the relationship between moral commitments and incentives.
