Leading bioethicists from America, Asia and Europe discuss Jahr's visionary concept of an ethics of 'bios', integrating the ethics of land, community, health, and culture in light of global challenges in the 21st century.
The book presents the results of a long research into the life and work of the German theologian and teacher Fritz Jahr (1895–1953) from Halle an der Saale, who was the first to use the term "bioethics", as early as 1926. It is a revised history of bioethics with an overview of all 22 of Jahr’s known published papers. The analysis follows the diffusion after 1997 of the discovery of Fritz Jahr worldwide and particularly the contribution of Croatian bioethicists to it.
Biotopes and Bioethics are highly complex and adaptable systems of Bios. Individual bios is terminal, but the stream of Bios goes on. Basic properties of Bios such as communication and cooperation, competence and competition, contemplation and calculation, compassion and cultivation come in different shades of light and dark in individuals and species, in history and ecology. Hans-Martin Sass discusses the territories of Bios and Bioethics, based on his involvement in decades of consulting in academia, business and politics. Special attention is given to the vision and role of Bioethics in research and training, in religious and cultural traditions, and in the survival, happiness, and health of corporate, social and political bodies. Hans-Martin Sass is Senior Research Scholar Emeritus at Georgetown University, Washington DC, and Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at Ruhr University, Bochum.

The ethics of valuing bios in all their forms and shapes has been an essential part of great and successful cultures from the millennia-old Vedic tradition of 'tattvamasi'-this is also you: this plant, this animal, this microbe, this ecosystem-to the simple hands-on call of Jesus's 'love your neighbor.' But as a term bioethics was coined 90 years ago by Fritz Jahr, an educator and pastor in Halle in his Bioethical Imperative 'Respect every Living Being as an end in itself and treat it, if possible, as such.' This book examines the development of Fritz Jahr's concept of bioethics over the last ninety years.

Sport je kompleksan fenomen kojega se danas najčešće razmatra unutar okvira društva spektakla i konzumerizma. Česti su i pristupi koji tematiziraju korisnost i svrhovitost sportskih aktivnosti u kontekstu zdravstvenih, rekreativnih, edukacijskih i društvenih djelatnosti. Ni humanističke znanosti nisu ostale posve nijeme na provokativnost teme sporta, povremeno reagirajući na specifične aspekte vezane uz sportske aktivnosti, poput nasilja, dopinga, nacionalističkih ekstremizama ili medijskoga tretiranja velikih sportskih natjecanja. Suštinski elementi fenomena sporta, međutim, i dalje se čine previđenima ili, u boljem slučaju, tek impliciranima ili pretpostavljenima... (iz: Ivana Zagorac, Predgovor, str. 7-8)
