Animal Minds & Animal Ethics (Human-Animal Studies, #3)
Animal minds and animal ethics - different origins, connecting similarities. Philosophers working on questions of animal ethics usually draw on research into animal cognition and subscribe to strong positions regarding animal minds. Whereas philosophers interested in the question of animal minds sometimes draw ethical conclusions from the positions they argue for. In spite of such overlaps, these two areas of research have grown up separately. One reason for this separation stems from the instit...
This book takes up the question of Christian queer theology and ethics through the contested lens of "redemption." Starting from the root infinitive "to deem," the authors argue that queer lives and struggles can illuminate and re-value the richness of embodied experience that is implied in Christian incarnational theology and ethics. Offering a set of virtues gleaned from contemporary lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer, and asexual (LGBTIQA) lives and communities, this book in...
For many years many Christians have exhibited bumper stickers and wrist bands challenging themselves to live up to WWJD-What Would Jesus Do? Now Andrew Fiala, a professor who has encountered many such students in his classes, objectively assesses just what it actually is that Jesus does (and doesn't) say about the essential moral issues that face us today. Andrew Fiala appreciates Jesus as a moral teacher with an ethical vision centered in love, generosity, forgiveness, tolerance, and peace. Bu...
Assuming Responsibility (Oxford Studies in Theological Ethics)
by Jennifer A. Herdt
Recent decades have witnessed an enthusiastic retrieval of eudaimonism, according to which the virtuous life is the happy life. But the critique launched by Kant - that eudaimonism is egoistic and distorts the character of duty or obligation - has persisted. Should I develop the virtues because these are the traits I need in order to flourish? Is it facts about my own happiness that determine my obligations to others? In this book, Jennifer Herdt deftly sifts through these debates, showing why...
La Nozione Di Proairesis in Gregorio Di Nissa (Patrologia - Beitraege Zum Studium der Kirchenvaeter, #5)
by Giampietro Dal Toso
L'autore indaga con un procedimento di analisi semiotico-linguistica il termine proairesis nelle opere di Gregorio di Nissa. Il concetto si precisa cosi come liberta di scelta. Da questa analisi emergono alcune linee di antropologia. La dottrina biblica della creazione funge da motivo ispiratore per il Nisseno, che vuole pero soprattutto cogliere il senso della storia dell'uomo: essa e un cammino che riporta l'uomo allo splendore della "imago Dei." La liberta di scelta determina fin dall'inizio...
