Slow Cures and Bad Philosophers: Essays on Wittgenstein, Medicine, and Bioethics
ISBN: 9780822326571 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) "Slow Cures and Bad Philosophers" uses insights from the philosophy of Ludwig Wittgenstein to rethink bioethics.

Their aim is not to examine Wittgenstein's personal moral convictions but rather to explore how a...
