Is it possible to preserve a sacral sphere for human life?. Life & the Sacred by Rafael Alvira Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description One of the concepts which deserves particular attention by philosophers of the 21th century is that of life and, more specifically, that of human life. Because life on Earth is limited, mankind has historically relied on religion for its promise of salvation and an afterlife.Yet, recently, people have been relying on alternative institutions, such as the state or market, for answers to their questions about the limited nature of human life. With the rise of dependence on such instituions comes the rise of new questions: are the state and market responsible for defining the meaning of life and for providing adequate answers to the suffering and death that afflict humankind? Can the state make use of technology and scientific knowledge in order to regulate population according to its objectives? Is there any ethical limit to the experimentation with the different phases of human life? Is it possible to preserve a sacral sphere for human life? This book provides extensive reflection and possible solutions to these perplexities. Author Biography Rafael Alvira is an assistant professor of philosophy at the Universidad de Navarra in Spain.

[PU: Olms Verlag], Edited by Rafael Alvira and Carmelo Vigna. 15 contributions (six of them in Spanish, four in Italian, two in German, two in English and one in French language) address philosophical concepts of life, especially: human life, at the beginning of 21st century. They are structured by four thematic sections: Human Life; The Sacred; The Gift; Science, Law and Politics faced with human life. For centuries, religion has played the role of providing an answer to the limits with which life confronts itself. But religion has been increasingly substituted by other instances in its care for human life. Thus, new questions arise: How far can the state and the market take responsibility for the meaning of human life and give adequate answers to the paradox that suffering and death keep on perplexing man? Can the state make use of technology and scientific knowledge in order to regulate population according to its objectives? Is there any ethical limit to the experimentation with the different phases of human life? Is it possible to preserve a sacral sphere for human life? The book presents an extensive reflexion in order to find answers to all these perplexities. 238 Seiten, broschiert (Religion and Civil Society; Vol. 2/Olms Verlag 2012), DE, [SC: 2.50], Neuware, gewerbliches Angebot, [GW: 359g], Offene Rechnung (Vorkasse vorbehalten), Internationaler Versand<

One of the concepts which deserves particular attention by philosophers of the 21th century is that of life and, more specifically, that of human life. Because life on Earth is limited, mankind has historically relied on religion for its promise of salvation and an afterlife.Yet, recently, people have been relying on alternative institutions, such as the state or market, for answers to their questions about the limited nature of human life. With the rise of dependence on such instituions comes the rise of new questions: are the state and market responsible for defining the meaning of life and for providing adequate answers to the suffering and death that afflict humankind? Can the state make use of technology and scientific knowledge in order to regulate population according to its objectives? Is there any ethical limit to the experimentation with the different phases of human life? Is it possible to preserve a sacral sphere for human life?
