Twenty-three years in the making, Rising Up and Rising Down (the original, published by McSweeney's in October 2003, spans seven volumes) is a rich amalgam of historical analysis, contemporary case studies, anecdotes, essays, theory, charts, graphs, photographs and drawings. Convinced that there is "a finite number of excuses" for violence and that some excuses "are more valid than others," Vollmann spent two decades consulting hundreds of sources, scrutinizing the thinking of philosophers, theologians, tyrants, warlords, military strategists, activists and pacifists. He also visited more than a dozen countries and war zones to witness violence firsthand - sometimes barely escaping with his life. Vollmann makes deft use of these tools and experiences to create his Moral Calculus, a structured decision-making system designed to help the reader decide when violence is justifiable and when it is not. -- Back cover.

Une lecture attentive de la manière des Essais, c'est-à-dire de la Dimension intersubjective du texte et du scepticisme de son auteur, révèle un Montaigne éthique qui se façonne non seulement par son rapport à soi mais aussi par son rapport à autrui (à savoir Socrate, La Boétie et le cannibale). Si Socrate lui apprend la vertu et l'utilité de se replier dans son for intérieur, pratique qui lui sert bien pendant les guerres de religion, en vrai « esprit généreux » Montaigne dépasse l'idéal ancien de la maîtrise de soi pour mettre le respect de l'autrele respect de l'altérité sous toutes ses formesen plein centre de son éthique du souci. Loin de poser obstacle à la pensée éthique, le scepticisme de Montaigne engendre un souci de l'autre ainsi qu'une ouverture d'esprit à l'égard d'autrui. L'indocilité et la mutabilité perpétuelles qu'il se reconnaît contribuent à différer une réponse définitive à la question de son identité (qui il est) et nourrissent son respect de l'autre, son refus décidé d'identifier l'altérité (ce que l'autre est) d'aucune façon absolue. Une étude qui rejoint le moi éthique et le moi sceptique de Montaigne permet de repenser ce moi éthique en termes d'une performance textuelle, performance irréductible au contenu des propos de l'auteur.

Examines the legal and ethical issues surrounding xenotransplantation. This book points out that xenotransplantation, which represents a deviation from medical practice and the possibility of transplantation of large segments of tissue, or whole organs from animals into humans, poses a set of considerations necessary to evaluate and understand. One of the leading causes of death is organ failure, that is, when one or other of the organs that run the machine we call the body gives out. However, whereas with a machine, spare parts can usually replace faulty parts, in the case of humans the supply of these is limited as it is dependent on organs being obtained from living or dead donors. Due to the limitations of supply, increasing attention is being paid to alternative schemes for obtaining organs. One of these possibilities is xenotransplantation: using organs from animals. In this book, the authors examine the legal and ethical issues surrounding xenotransplantation and consider the implications for the future. As they point out, xenotransplantation represents a major deviation from standard medical practice and the possibility of transplantation of large segments of tissue, or whole organs, from animals into humans poses an entirely novel set of considerations - ethical, legal and scientific - which is necessary to evaluate and understand.

Die Arbeit überprüft das Zusammenspiel vom Lob des Genusses und der Ermahnung zur Gottesfurcht in Qohelet. Sieht man, anders als bisher, Genuss und Gottesfurcht in einem positiven Wechselverhältnis, eröffnen sich neue Aspekte der Theologie Qohelets: Lebensgenuss bildet den Kern seiner Spiritualität, die als glaubender Realismus bezeichnet werden kann und zu einem authentischen Erleben der tragischen wie freudigen Dimensionen des Lebens aufruft. Ausgezeichnet mit dem "John Templeton Award for Theological Promise" (2007). This study explores the interplay between the commendation of enjoyment and the injunction to fear God in Ecclesiastes. Previous studies have tended to examine these seemingly antithetical themes in isolation from one another. Seeing enjoyment and fear to be positively correlated, however, enables a fresh articulation of the book’s theology. Enjoyment of life lies at the heart of Qohelet’s vision of piety, which may be characterized as faithful realism, calling for an authentic engagement with both the tragic and joyous dimensions of human existence.
