Introduction

Quante, Michael

Pages: 1 –10

[If one were to look for the specific property of human beings, the following definition would be a promising candidate: human beings differ from other living creatures through their endeavor to lead a personal life. The aspiration to lead one’s own life and go one’s own way, to give one’s...

Human Persistence

Quante, Michael

Pages: 11 –33

[Both the various ways of applying the concept of person and various epistemological-methodological approaches can be found in the context of the issue which has been discussed in an intense philosophical debate ever since Locke added a chapter about the identity of persons in the second edition...

The Beginning of Life

Quante, Michael

Pages: 35 –76

[The question of when a human life begins is usually posed in ethical contexts. Whoever wants to know if – and when – abortion is ethically permissible links the question of the beginning of life with genuine ethical problems: the question of the ethical status of the human individual in her...

[There is, as Tom L. Beauchamp (1996, p. 1) observes, no longer-lasting or stronger proscription in medicine than that which says that one must not kill patients. The trend towards the principle of respect for autonomy and medical-technological developments have, however, led increasingly to this...

Extended Autonomy

Quante, Michael

Pages: 183 –202

[Modern ethical consciousness tends even in the medical field towards an ever increasing recognition of personal autonomy as its central ethical value. This is reflected above all through medical actions which can be supported by the patient’s autonomy being considered ethically less...

Medical Paternalism

Quante, Michael

Pages: 203 –232

[The previous two chapters were primarily concerned with justifying the demands of persons for autonomy as being ethically respectable in the interplay of personal autonomy and biographical identity. Now the question is whether arguments for a justification of paternalistic medical actions can be...

The Interlacing of Persistence and Personality

Quante, Michael

Pages: 233 –235

[If one dissolves the assumed uniform phenomenon of the identity of human persons over time into the persistence of the human organism and the biographical or narrative ‘identity’, a series of interrelated questions arises. For one thing, these concern the interrelation of observer and...
