Christian Marriage Today
This book is the result of a symposium sponsored by the International Academy of Marital Spirituality (INTAMS), which brought together a group of distinguished scholars and theologians to discuss the current social and spiritual emergency of Christian marriage. Going beyond a strictly theoretical evaluation of the sacrament of marriage, the contributors examine the subject from a pastoral viewpoint and address the praxis situation of couples trying to live out the implications of the sacrament. The volume will be of interest to theologians as well as to catechists involved in the preparation of couples for the sacrament. Klaus Demmer begins the book with an overview of INTAMS. He provides ba...

On the Ethics of Torture
The question of when, and under what circumstances, the practice of torture might be justified has received a great deal of attention in the last decade in both academia and in the popular media. Many of these discussions are, however, one-sided with other perspectives either ignored or quickly dismissed with minimal argument. In On the Ethics of Torture, Uwe Steinhoff provides a complete account of the philosophical debate surrounding this highly contentious subject. Steinhoff's position is that torture is sometimes, under certain narrowly circumscribed conditions, justified, basing his argument on the right to self-defense. His position differs from that of other authors who, using other philosophical justifications, would permit torture under a wider set of conditions. After having given the reader a thorough account of the main arguments for permitting torture under certain circumstances, Steinhoff explains and addresses the many objections that have been raised to employing torture under any circumstances. This is an indispensible work for anyone interested in one of the most controversial subjects of our times.

The Heterodox Hegel
O'Regan (religious studies, Yale U.) argues for a theological reading of Hegel which clarifies the religious or theological species Hegel thinks can be brought into rapprochement with philosophy; unites a number of different approaches to Hegel which have proven fruitful, if incomplete; and, within the bounds of a systematic approach, addresses que
The Scottish Enlightenment and Hegel’s Account of ‘Civil Society’
The present study, which investigates the influence of the Scottish Enlightenment on Hegel's account of 'civil society' or "biirgerliche Gesellschaft", is based on my PhD thesis, submitted to the University of Cambridge in September 1983. Its publication provides me with a welcome opportunity to acknowledge the help and encouragement I have received over the years from scholars, friends, and relations. At the Ruhr University of Bochum where I began my studies, I am indebted to Professor Otto Poggeler (Director of the Hegel Archives), to the other, past and present members of staff at the Hegel Archives, and to Professors Jiirgen Gebhardt, Jiirgen von Kempski, Heinz Kim merle; and Leo Kofler....
Rückkehr der Folter
Die Bilder aus dem irakischen Gefängnis in Abu Graib haben weltweit Entsetzen und Abscheu ausgelöst. Anders liegt der Fall bei der Entführung von Jakob von Metzler im Jahre 2002. Der Frankfurter Vize-Polizeipräsident Daschner hatte dem Entführer körperliche Gewalt angedroht, falls er das Versteck seines Opfers nicht preisgebe. Darf der moderne Rechtsstaat in bestimmten Ausnahmefällen zum Mittel der Folter greifen? Ist Folter zum Beispiel zulässig, wenn damit ein Terroranschlag verhindert und Tausende von Menschenleben gerettet werden können? In vierzehn Artikeln gehen ausgewiesene Wissenschaftler dieser schwierigen Frage nach.
