Réflexions sur l'engagement personnel
Dans cet essai brûlant d'actualité, il est tant question de nécessité d'engagement que de mise en garde contre ses dangers. L'auteur récuse tout autant la fidélité totale à un dogme ou une idéologie, que la passivité de celui qui attend une cause parfaite ou des valeurs absolues pour agir. Cela conduit à l'inaction. Or s'engager c'est précisément se dresser contre l'imperfection.

Converts to the Real

Death and Mortality in Contemporary Philosophy
This book contributes to current bioethical debates by providing a critical analysis of the philosophy of human death. Bernard N. Schumacher discusses contemporary philosophical perspectives on death, creating a dialogue between phenomenology, existentialism and analytic philosophy. He also examines the ancient philosophies that have shaped our current ideas about death. His analysis focuses on three fundamental problems: (1) the definition of human death, (2) the knowledge of mortality and of human death as such, and (3) the question of whether death is 'nothing' to us or, on the contrary, whether it can be regarded as an absolute or relative evil. Drawing on scholarship published in four languages and from three distinct currents of thought, this volume represents a comprehensive and systematic study of the philosophy of death, one that provides a provocative basis for discussions of the bioethics of human mortality.
