Love and the Dignity of Human Life by Robert Spaemann
What does it mean to love someone? What does the concept of human dignity mean, and what are its consequences? What marks the end of a person's life? Is personhood more than consciousness? These perplexing questions lurk beneath the surface of everyday life, surfacing only to demand urgent attention in crises. Renowned German philosopher Robert Spaemann addresses these and other foundational enigmas in three eloquent short essays. Speaking wisdom to controversy, he offers carefully considered, novel approaches to key philosophical and theological questions about the nature of human love (The Paradoxes of Love), dignity (Human Dignity and Human Nature), and death (Is Brain Death the Death of a Human Person?).Robert Spaemann (1927-2018) was a German Catholic philosopher who taught at the universities of Stuttgart, Heidelberg, and Munich. He is best known for his work on Christian ethics. Persons: The Distinction Between Someone and Something, as well as Happiness and Benevolence, are among his many works.
