Abstract:

The Introduction sets out the overall programme of the three-part Philosophy of Christian Life: the phenomenology of the devout life, the rhetorics of the word, and the metaphysics of love, focusing respectively on desire, language, and love in Christian life. It presents the work as philosophical in that it accepts the limits of human reason and common sense rather than revelation or dogma and is concerned to make or to justify some truth claims. It acknowledges that focusing on practice requires a different approach to truth from philosophies of religion that start with propositions about Go

It also discusses the development of Islamic constitutionalism in various Islamic countries. The chapter then sets out the book's purpose, which is to analyze the impact of the rise

Abstract:

The introduction describes the historical involvement of the state in the regulation of prostitution. It introduces the concept of public policy and its neglect in the academic literature on prostitution. We argue that the literature avoids a systematic discussion of public policy by focusing on a host of other factors that shape prostitution in society, such as large extraneous influences, broad (national) policy regimes, international human rights governance, discourse, broad shifts in governmentality. Instead, it is the concerted actions of national and local policy makers in designing regu

Abstract:

The electrocardiogram (ECG) is one of the simplest, inexpensive, safest, and reproducible techniques that exist in medicine. During the current renaissance of electrocardiography, we need to improve how to interpret an ECG. This is especially important because currently the automatic interpretation still needs medical supervision. In spite of the great relevance of the ECG in the diagnosis of heart diseases, this section also includes a chapter that expresses the limitations of the ECG, entitled ‘The abnormal ECG without apparent heart disease and the normal ECG in serious heart disease: two e

Abstract:

The ‘Introduction’ chapter presents the concept of the entire ventilator system, whose understanding is crucial for the clinician performing mechanical ventilation. Mechanical ventilation is a risky, expensive, and error-prone therapy, the author asserts, which is why it is so important to understand not just the clinical application of ventilation, but also the equipment used in ventilation therapy. Furthermore, the ventilator must be viewed within the context of the larger ventilation system. This chapter defines the book’s audiences and discusses its value to them.

Abstract:

This book gives a broad overview of the historical development of ideas about coercion, its current practice, and theory. It also considers future directions for research and clinical practice. Crucially it gives, for the first time, a global picture of these issues from those researching or working in mental health care across all continents. Coercion has always been a central concern in mental health care, and never more than now. The move away from asylums (deinstitutionalization) and into the community has widened the debate to all those with mental health problems rather than the much sma

This is a short chapter which describes the aims and the terminology of this book. This introductory chapter explains how the book is structured into five sections and which key concepts are included. It introduces the policy cycle, principles of prevention, and population-level approaches to prevention of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). It is important to recognize that it is neither feasible nor desirable to devote all resources to prevention. This chapter shows that there are considerable areas of overlap and prevention; cure and care can be seen to exist on a continuum of activities that

It both identifies major issues relating to the historical study of women and gender and questions the ways in which the history of women religious has affected modern perceptions.

Abstract:

Mythographies were books that collected, explained, and interpreted myth-related material. Extremely popular during the Renaissance, these works appealed to a wide range of readers. While the European mythographies of the sixteenth century have been utilized by scholars, the short, early English mythographies, written from 1577 to 1647, have puzzled critics. The first generation of English mythographers did not, as has been suggested, try to compete with their Italian predecessors. Instead, they made mythographies into rhetorical instruments designed to intervene in topical debates outside the

The Introduction gives an overview of the elements and literary contexts of ancient dance discourse.

Finally, it argues that it is the double nature of dance, which is able both to represent entire myths and to be a performance of nothing but itself, that sparked highly sophisticated reflections on the relationship between dance and meaning in authors such as A

Three simple forms of thought are fundamental to morality: treating others’ interests as important, respecting their equal status as agents, and being willing to join others as partners in a worthwhile cause. The aim of this book is to develop a substantive moral theory structured around this idea. To be successful, a theory of this kind must meet three constraints: it must be true, useful, and illuminating. The introduction specifies these constraints as a set of principles associated with Hume, Kant, Rousseau, Von Wright, Williams, Prichard, Aristotle, Hill, and Ross; and summarizes the stru

This chapter traces the rise of Western war as ethical war since the end of the Cold War, that is, war that is claimed to be for the benefits of others, even where defence and security may also be a concern. It highlights that, against the prevailing hope for peace in the 1990s, the commitment to ethics came to justify and enable wars. It has also affected the practice of Western war, making a critical engagement with the phenomenon of ethical war urgent. The chapter further sets out the plan for the book, introducing the problematic of the politics of ethics.
