Bøger af James W. Walters

At a time when technology can sustain marginal life, it is more important to understand what constitutes a person. What are the medical, ethical, moral, mental, legal, and philosophical criteria that determine protectable human life? This book addresses with another ambitious and complicated matter: determining the nature of personhood.

As a religious thinker who disclaimed all rationalistic systems, Martin Buber produced an insightful critique of modern philosophical ethics, one that became productive soil for another non-traditional ethic: feminism's care ethic. Walters compares the personal ethics of the two perspectives.
