In a brilliant diagnosis of our reactions to self-improvement technologies, Carl Elliott asks questions that illuminate deep currents in the American character: Why do we feel uneasy about these drugs, procedures, and therapies even while we embrace them?

ISBN: 9780822323693 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Walker Percy brought to his novels the perspective of both a doctor and a patient.

Slow Cures and Bad Philosophers: Essays on Wittgenstein, Medicine, and Bioethics
ISBN: 9780822326571 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. "Slow Cures and Bad Philosophers" uses insights from the philosophy of Ludwig Wittgenstein to rethink bioethics. Although Wittgenstein produced little formal writing on ethics, this volume shows that, in fact, ethical issues permeate the entirety of his work. The scholars whom Carl Elliott has assembled in this volume pay particular attention to Wittgenstein's concern with the thick context of moral problems, his suspicion of theory, and his belief in description as the real aim of philosophy. Their aim is not to examine Wittgenstein's personal moral convictions but rather to explore how a...

The Missing Jesus: Rabbinic Judaism and the New Testament
ISBN: 9780391041837 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. How can Jesus be said to be "missing"? The Church has consistently referred itself to conceptions of Jesus during its history, and the world of scholarship has seen a renaissance in the study of Jesus over the past twenty years. In fact, Jesus' place in popular culture has been surprisingly prominent as a result of recent historical study. What is "missing" is not by any means reference to Jesus: what is missing is rather an entire dimension of his identity. In order for us to understand Jesus and his profound influence on global culture, we need to see him within the context of the Judaism...
