Between Kin and Cosmopolis
ISBN: 9781498205412 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 126 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) The nation-state is here to stay. Thirty years ago it was fashionable to predict its imminent demise, but the sudden break-up of the Soviet Union in the 1990s unshackled long-repressed nationalisms and generated a host of new states. The closer integration of the European Union has given intra-national nationalisms a new lease of life, confirming the viability of small nation-states under a supra-national umbrella--after all, if Ireland and Iceland, then why not Scotland and Catalonia? And then the world stage has seen new and powerful national players moving from the wings to the centre:...

The Hastening That Waits: Karl Barth's Ethics
ISBN: 9780198263906 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book offers a fresh and up-to-date account of the ethical thought of Karl Barth, one of the twentieth century's greatest theologians. In it, the author seeks to recover Barth's ethics from some widespread misunderstandings, and also presents a picture of it as a whole. Drawing on recently published sources, Biggar construes the ethics of the Church Dogmatics as it might have been had Barth lived to complete it. However, The Hastening that Waits is more than apology and description. For it recommends to contemporary Christian ethics the theological rigor with which Barth expounds the good...

Behaving in Public: How to Do Christian Ethics
ISBN: 9780802864000 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 142 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Opens up a way forward for Christian ethics in the public sphere
Too often, says Nigel Biggar, contemporary Christian ethics poses a false choice -- either -conservative- theological integrity or -liberal- secular consensus. Behaving in Public explains both why and how Christians should resist these polar options. Informed by a frankly Christian theological vision of moral life and so turning toward the world with openness and curiosity, Biggar's succinct argument charts a third way forward. Opens up a way forward for Christian ethics in the public sphere

Aiming to Kill: The Ethics of Euthanasia and Assisted Suicide
ISBN: 9780232524062 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Controversy about the morality of euthanasia and assisted suicide and their legalisation has been running for over a generation, and it shows no sign of flagging. The main arguments for and against are widely familiar, yet the horizon yields no sign of any approaching resolution. Progress can still be made by careful examination of the opposing fronts and that is the service that this book performs. Drawing ecumenically on both theological and philosophical resources, it pioneers an original way to a mature judgement by tackling the three basic questions that the debate raises: What is it...

In Defence of War
ISBN: 9780198725831 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 374 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Pacifism is popular. Many hold that war is unnecessary, since peaceful means of resolving conflict are always available, if only we had the will to look for them. Or they believe that war is wicked, essentially involving hatred of the enemy and carelessness of human life. Or they posit the absolute right of innocent individuals not to be deliberately killed, making it impossible to justify war in practice.
Peace, however, is not simple. Peace for some can leave others at peace to perpetrate mass atrocity. What was peace for the West in 1994 was not peace for the Tutsis of Rwanda....

Burying the Past: Making Peace and Doing Justice After Civil Conflict
ISBN: 9780878403943 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 370 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. No one can deny how September 11, 2001, has altered our understandings of "Peace" and "Justice" and "Civil Conflict." Those have become words with startling new life in our vocabularies. Yet "making" peace and "doing" justice must remain challenges that are among the highest callings of humanity--especially in a terror-heightened world. Nigel Biggar, Christian ethicist and editor of this now more than ever "must read" (Choice) volume, newly expanded and updated, addresses head-on the concept of a redemptive burying of the past, urging that the events of that infamous date be...

ISBN: 9780199566624 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Must religious voices keep quiet in public places? Does fairness in a plural society require it? Must the expression of religious belief be so authoritarian as to threaten civil peace? Do we need translation into 'secular' language, or should we try to manage polyglot conversation? How neutral is 'secular' language? Is a religious argument necessarily unreasonable? What issues are specific to Islam within this exchange?

ISBN: 9781138256712 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Natural law theory has been enjoying a significant revival in recent times. Led by Germain Grisez in the USA and John Finnis in the UK, one school of thinkers has been articulating a highly developed system of natural law built upon a sophisticated account of practical reasoning and a rich and flexible understanding of the human good. However, long-standing prejudices against old-style natural law among moral philosophers and Protestant ethicists, together with the new theory's appropriation by conservatives in the impassioned debate between the Vatican and dissenting theologians in the...
