Das Buch stellt die zentralen Aspekte der Philosophie Platons vor und erläutert, wie sie den geistigen Diskurs des 3. Jahrtausends inspirieren können.Seine Tugendethik weist einen Ausweg aus dem postmodernen Werterelativismus; seine politische Philosophie öffnet den Blick für ein postökonomistisches globales Ethos; seine Deutung der Natur begründet eine avancierte Ökologie; seine Kosmologie bietet einen Deutungsrahmen für die zeitgenössische Quantenphysik, seine Ontologie feiert Lebendigkeit als Maß alles Guten, Wahren und Schönen; seine Philosophie des Eros liest sich als Programm einer zeitgemäßen spirituellen Lebenskunst.

That approach is not sustainable in the face of ongoing issues such as global climate change, environmental damage, rising inequality and enduring poverty. Alternatives must be found.

This book about the Zadeh Project demonstrates and explores a core question in clinical ethics: how can ethics consultants be accountable in the face of a robust plurality of ethical standpoints, especially those that underwrite practices and methods for doing ethics consultation as well as those viewpoints and values encountered in daily clinical ethics practice? Underscoring this question is the recognition that the field of clinical ethics consultation has arrived at a crucial point in its maturation.

Dit boek laat zien hoe het beroep van arts razendsnel is veranderd en tegen welke obstakels de moderne dokter aanloopt. De ‘dokter’s journey’ in de afgelopen generatie lijkt een achtbaan met als voorlopig eindpunt de huidige medische arena. Daar vindt strijd plaats en niet alleen tegen de ziekte. Bij patiënten binden verwachtingen, idealen, hoop en geloof in technologische mogelijkheden de strijd aan met acceptatie en verdriet. Ziekte en beperkingen horen steeds minder thuis in een maakbare wereld vol vooruitstrevende hoogstandjes. Bij dokters strijdt liefde voor het vak met de dagelijkse invulling in het werk, met als gevolg een stijging van uitval door burn out. Economie en geneeskunde hebben een beknellend pact gesloten: zorg is ook ‘productie’, waarin zorgvuldigheid dreigt te worden vervangen door protocollen en beslisbomen die de maat aangeven en de toon bepalen.

FOR LOVE OF YOU is a tribute to Clara Schumann, pianist and composer, in celebration of the 200th anniversary of her birth (9/13/1819).

Recent discussions of self-realization have devolved into unscientific theories of self-help. However, this vague and often misused concept is connected to many important individual and social problems. As long as its meaning remains unclear, it can be abused for social, political, and commercial malpractices. To combat this issue, this book shares perspectives from scholars of various philosophical traditions. Each chapter takes new steps in asking what the meaning of self-realization is–both in terms of what it means to understand who or what one is, and also in terms of how one can, or should, fulfilll oneself. The conceptual elucidations achieved from both theoretical and practical perspectives allow for a more mature awareness of how to deal with discourses on self-realization and, in any case, can help to demystify the subject.
