Justified Killing

An Essay on Interests, Persons, and Epistemic Justification

by Stephen Napier ...

Series series Philosophy and Religion (R0)
This project argues that arguments for the permissibility of killing—specifically, arguments in favor of abortion and euthanasia—fail to justify their conclusions. At best, these arguments form a merely coherent network, but ultimately evince a circular pattern of justification. This book traces the two principal arguments made in support of permissible abortion: arguments based on a time-relative ... Read more

Knowing how we make moral judgments can bring into relief why certain arguments on various bioethical issues appear plausible to one side and obviously false to the other. Uncertain Bioethics makes a significant and distinctive contribution to the bioethics literature by culling the insights from contemporary ... Read more

Moving Beyond the Nature/ Nurture Debate Over Genes, Brain and Gender

by Gisela Kaplan, Lesley J. Rogers ...

What is most exciting about this book is the authors' ability to move seamlessly from research on how the brain works, to sociology, history, and philosophy. And that, I believe, is exactly how we need to understand gender--neither nature nor nurture, but a complex interplay." - Dr. Lynda Birke, author of Feminism and the ... Read more
