Jonathan J. Loose Poradie kníh (chronologicky)

This volume is a significant contribution to the philosophy of mind, particularly substance dualism, which has recently seen a resurgence in scholarly interest. Once dismissed as outdated, substance dualism is now being reexamined by a growing number of philosophers who challenge previous objections and misunderstandings. This anthology is unique in its pro-contra format, featuring contemporary writings from leading proponents and critics of dualism. It facilitates rigorous discourse on dualist and physicalist perspectives regarding human persons. Chapters delve into various forms of substance dualism—such as emergent, Thomistic, and Cartesian—while engaging with physicalist theories like animalism and non-reductive physicalism. The editors, Loose, Menuge, and Moreland, pair essays from dualist advocates with critiques from physicalist opponents, allowing readers to explore contrasting viewpoints within thematic sections. This structure provides nuanced introductions for students and stimulates the interest of professional philosophers eager to deepen their understanding. Skillfully curated, the volume connects contemporary science with analytic theology, striking a balance between advocacy and criticism. It serves as an invaluable resource for researchers, scholars, and students in philosophy, theology, and neuroscience.

Wir alle dürfen leben. Doch seit wann eigentlich? Seit der Geburt? Seit dem dritten Schwangerschaftsmonat der Mutter? Oder noch davor? Wer entscheidet das? Und was wissen wir darüber eigentlich? Bis wann ist Abtreibung in Ordnung? Ist Abtreibung überhaupt in Ordnung? Es lohnt sich, über diese dringenden Fragen nachzudenken. Sie sind, im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes, lebenswichtig.
