Defining Personhood: Toward the Ethics of Quality in Clinical Care
ISBN: 9789042005716 / Angielski / Miękka / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Many debates in biomedical ethics today involve inconsistencies in defining the key term, person. Both sides of the abortion debate, for instance, beg the question about what constitutes personhood. This book explores the arguments concerning definitions of personhood in the history of modern philosophy, and then constructs a superior model, defined in terms of distinctive features (a theoretical concept borrowed from linguistics). This model is shown to have distinct advantages over the necessary and sufficient condition models of personhood launched by essentialists. Philosophers...

ISBN: 9780197683842 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A comprehensive introduction to the concept of the "intact mind" and how it affects disability policy and practice.

The sentiment itself is not new. Emerging largely out of psychoanalytic theory dating back to the end of the 19th century, the intact mind was later amplified in memoirs, where parents wrote of their...

Sanctorius Sanctorius and the Origins of Health Measurement
ISBN: 9783031301179 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This Open Access book offers new insights into the Venetian physician Sanctorius Sanctorius (1561–1636) and into the origins of quantification in medicine.

As trivial as the quantitative assessment of health issues might seem to us today – in times of fitness trackers and smart watches – it was highly innovative at that time. With his instruments, Sanctorius introduced quantitative research into the field of physiology. Historical accounts of Sanctorius and his work...
