"In Naturalness, Dieter Birnbacher delves into an argument common in everyday thinking and ethics—the argument of naturalness. This argument suggests that what is natural is in some ways superior to what is artificial, due to repeated positive connotations associated with the natural. This book presents both a phenomenology and a critique. For the former, Naturalness reviews the role of naturalistic arguments in various domains of everyd ..."

"Responsibility for future generations is easily postulated in the abstract but it is much more difficult to set it to work in the concrete. It requires some changes in individual and institutional attitudes that are in opposition to what has been called the "systems variables" of industrial society: individual freedom, consumerism, and equality.

Giving Death a Helping Hand Physician-Assisted Suicide and Public Policy. An International Perspective (International Library of Ethics, Law, and the New Medicine) by DieterBirnbacher, Edgar Dahl Hardcover, 157 Pages, Published 2008 by Springer ISBN-13: 978-1-4020-6495-1, ISBN: 1-4020-6495-0
"If it comes to choosing between methods of last resort for severely suffering, physician-assisted suicide will probably prove more acceptable as a method of last resort than active euthanasia both to patients, to legislators and to the general public. From the perspective of patients, physician-assisted is a more unambiguous expression of the patient's autonomous will. From the legislator's perspective it seems less liable to misuse and ..."

"value corresponds to a deontological principle of non-intervention, in the sense
in which it is postulated by Paul W. Taylor in his biocentric approach to the ethics
of nature (Taylor 1986: 173). Along with the high regard for the wilderness and
unspoiled nature, which in Paul W. Taylor's approach only refers to living nature,
hence to organisms, Paul W. Taylor's ethics of a “respect for nature” represents a
type of environmental e ..."

This question is situated at the intersection of a series of fundamental questions that transcend disciplinary boundaries, questions concerning not only the nature of causality, actions, and events, but also the relationship between causality and ..."
