The question of whether and under what circumstances assisted suicide is not only in line with the law, but also ethically legitimate beyond the legal dimension, is controversially debated. The debate centers around the fundamental issues of freedom, self-determination, dignity, quality of life and morality. Depending on the interpretation of these values, the stance regarding assisted suicide may vary. The social context is also central: on the one hand, there is concern of an increasing pressure towards shortening fragile life in an ageing society; on the other hand, there is criticism that authorities and gatekeepers unduly restrain individual free will by restricting access.At the core of the book are forty narrative interviews with dialogue partners who have reported on their respective decision-making processes regarding the option of assisted suicide. The values that guide them are discussed, and the analysis of the interview transcripts is embedded in a larger theoretical framework. This results in a differentiated picture in which convergences, but also divergences in values and arguments, emerge. Through interviews embedded in a wider conceptual analysis, this book intends to encourage a debate on the topic as free of ideology as possible, as well as offer tools to guide the decision-making process.

Führen als eine Kunst zu begreifen, diesem Anliegen gehen die Beiträge des von Götz W. Werner und Peter Dellbrügger herausgegebenen Sammelbands nach. Ein Schwerpunkt liegt dabei auf dem Thema der Freiheit: Stefan Brotbeck entwirft eine Phänomenologie der Unfreiheit, indem er soziale Mechanismen entlarvt, die uns und anderen das Leben schwer machen. Weiterhin geht es u.a. um die "Befreiung" der Führung (Rehn), Hierarchie (Hardorp), Vertrauen (Lavecchia), Bildung (Dietz) und Sinnstiftung (Werner).

We live in a world of algorithmic sorting and decision-making. Mathematical models curate our social relationships, influence our elections and even decide whether we should go to prison or not. But how much do we really know about code, algorithmic structures and how they work? This book turns to questions of autonomy in the digital age from an interdisciplinary perspective, combining contributions from philosophy, education and cultural studies with computer science. Wir leben in einer Welt der algorithmischen Sortierung und Entscheidungsfindung. Mathematische Modelle kuratieren unsere sozialen Beziehungen, beeinflussen unsere Wahlen und entscheiden sogar darüber, ob wir ins Gefängnis gehen sollten oder nicht. Aber wie viel wissen wir wirklich über Code, algorithmische Strukturen und deren Wirkweisen? Der Band wendet sich den Fragen der Autonomie im digitalen Zeitalter aus einer interdisziplinären Perspektive zu, indem er Beiträge aus Philosophie, Erziehungs- und Kulturwissenschaft mit der Informatik verbindet.

The first coherent and handy edition with commentaries of one oft he most important sources for history, administration and religious mentalities of the city of Rome in the 4th century A.D.The collection of pictures, lists and short notes, known as the "Chronography of 354" or the "Calendar of Filocalus" is a calendar handbook for the year 354 C.E. Of the thirteen texts, four are Christian documents; the remaining are witnesses of Roman administration and provide no clue for Christianity, or at times even attestations to the Roman religiosity of the Republic and the Imperial Time. The handbook contents can be distinguished by whether it has pictures or just text. Given the complexity of the present form of its constituents, the calendar handbook is an important source for the politic administrative history of the late-Constantine time, for the history of the transformation of religious mentalities, and for the success of the story of Christianity in the city of Rome. The following texts are especially noteworthy:(1) The consular fasti from the beginning of the consulate up to the year 354 CE, for the Roman History and the families that dominated it;(2) the yearly calendar for those festivals celebrated in late-Constantine time with their political and religio-historical dimension, which influenced the history of everyday life of the city;(3) the Catalogus Liberianus, the oldest Roman book of the popes, which together with the lists of the Deposito episcoporum and the Deposito martyrum, the oldest feriale of any Christian Church, is important for the Church of Rome and its conception of history.Notwithstanding a century-long history of editions and commentaries of the calendar handbook, there is up to the present no connected edition and commentary of the pertinent texts, only critical editions of individual parts. This is related to the complex tradition process and the preserved late manuscripts of the 16th and the 17th century. This poses a range of problems, which this edition and its commentaries tackle:(a) what all was part of the original calendar(b) when did the different texts and their redactions, which lead to the expansions, come into being(c) the perennial research problem of the relationship between the traditional Roman religion and Christianity, for which the texts of the chronographs provide crucial evidence(d) the position of the calendar handbook in the history of book illustration in LateAntiquity.Furthermore, since Mommsen's classical edition, a host of individual problems have been identified, which affect very different scientific endeavours, ranging from the studies of classical antiquities to theology and from cultural sciences to astronomy.Vol. 2: Fasti Consulares, Praefecti urbis Romae 254 - 354 A.D., Cpomputus Paschalis, Depositio martyrum, Depositio Episcoporum, Catalogus Liberianus Es handelt sich um die erste zusammenhängende Ausgabe mit Kommentar des Kalenderhandbuches, das mit seinen Texten eine wichtige Quelle zur Geschichte, Verwaltung und zu den religiösen Mentalitäten in der Stadt Rom im 4. Jahrhundert n.Chr. darstellt.

Woran sollen wir unser Handeln orientieren? Worin besteht ein gutes und gelingendes Leben und wie können wir ein solches Leben führen? Diese und andere Fragen sind unbestritten wichtige (ethische) Fragestellungen – doch kann die Ethik auf sie befriedigend antworten? Ziel des Open Access-Lehrbuchs ist es, ein grundlegendes, historisch und methodisch reflektiertes Verständnis ethischer Probleme, Argumente und Ansätze zu vermitteln und damit zur eigenen ethischen Urteilsbildung beizutragen. In 2-farbiger Gestaltung mit Abbildungen, Definitionen und Vertiefungen sowie einem Personen- und Sachregister zur schnellen Orientierung. .
