Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Hardcover, xv + 285 pages, NOT ex-library. Book is clean and bright throughout, with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Light handling wear only. Issued without a dust jacket. -- This study offers a novel framework for understanding public debates surrounding euthanasia and assisted dying. The author argues that these controversies are not merely clashes of abstract principles like autonomy versus sanctity of life, but are profoundly shaped by personal narratives of suffering, care, and dignity. Drawing on case studies from Austria, the Netherlands, and Oregon, the book analyzes how these intimate, emotional dimensions are articulated and mobilized in the public sphere. It demonstrates how policymakers, activists, and citizens grapple with these deeply personal stories, ultimately shaping the legal and ethical boundaries of end-of-life decisions.…

Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. 1st Edition. Hardcover, xi + 268 pages, NOT ex-library. Clean and bright throughout with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Issued without a dust jacket. -- A collection of intercultural and interdisciplinary essays that explores how human beings across different societies and eras imagine, plan, and design their lives. It investigates how diverse civilisations have mastered fundamental challenges of existence by examining the concepts of free will, agency, and methods for calculating the future. Core Themes and Analytical Focus: - Capacity for Design: Academics analyze how the ability to design one's life has changed throughout different ages and social structures; - Intercultural Comparison: The essays employ a cross-cultural lens, comparing perspectives from Hellenistic Roman times, the Middle Ages, Pre-modern China, and Islamic traditions; - Mastery of Challenges: The series as a whole seeks to understand how humans deal with existential dimensions beyond their empirical grasp, including the roles of religion, myth, and utopias in providing hope or faith. The book includes a wide range of specific historical and cultural case studies to illustrate these configurations: - Historical Paradigms: Chapters examine the concept of Carpe diem in the Roman world and the tension between divine acting and human self-determination in the Middle Ages; - Contemporary & Regional Contexts: Contributors explore life under Communist regimes, indigenous views from Amazonian and Guaraní peoples, and everyday acts of justice in Northern Mozambique; - Thematic Domains: Beyond history, the text touches on configurations within politics, economics, and ethics, even asking why societies need "masterpieces". The volume features contributions from philosophers, historians, anthropologists, and political scientists. It aims to provide a holistic "Philosophical Anthropology" that interprets human life forms by bridging the gap between historical sciences and contemporary sociology.…
