Normkultur versus Nutzenkultur: ýýber kulturelle Kontexte von Bioethik und Biorecht

by Thomas S. Hoffmann (Editor), Walter Schweidler (Editor)

The keywords norm and utility indicate two fundamental systems of orientation running through contemporary life, either complementing or displacing each other. Conflicts in the field of bioethics can also be read through the lens of this contrast. The papers in this volume, from the fields of philosophy, theology, law, medicine and natural science, attempt this in an interdisciplinary exchange.

Robert Spaemann's essay on brain death in this collection is brilliant.
