Book Description
Excerpt from History and Philosophy of Medical Jurisprudence But law and medicine, although uniting in the pro duction of this third science, cannot be said to hold a divided empire over its practice; for law alone is, and must ever be, the supreme arbiter of human actions in society, nor can she surrender her authority over the temporal accountability of mankind without at the same time surrendering her life and her essential pre rogatives. The application of medical jurisprudence to the admeasurement of physical facts affecting the civil or criminal responsibility of parties, amounts practically only to this - that medicine furnishes the lights of her experience, and law applies them according to the es tablished rules of her tribunals, and as modified by the equities of each particular case. Thus the aid of medi cine is often invoked; she is even at times intrusted with the scales; but law always retains the sword, always retains the right of reviewing the judgement and prescribing the penalty. And this is but just. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Oxford Handbook of Philosophy of Technology
Author: Shannon Vallor
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 019085118X
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 697
Book Description
The Oxford Handbook of Philosophy of Technology gives readers a view into this increasingly vital and urgently needed domain of philosophical understanding, offering an in-depth collection of leading and emerging voices in the philosophy of technology. The thirty-two contributions in this volume cut across and connect diverse philosophical traditions and methodologies. They reveal the often-neglected importance of technology for virtually every subfield of philosophy, including ethics, epistemology, philosophy of science, metaphysics, aesthetics, philosophy of language, and political theory. The Handbook also gives readers a new sense of what philosophy looks like when fully engaged with the disciplines and domains of knowledge that continue to transform the material and practical features and affordances of our world, including engineering, arts and design, computing, and the physical and social sciences. The chapters reveal enduring conceptual themes concerning technology's role in the shaping of human knowledge, identity, power, values, and freedom, while bringing a philosophical lens to the profound transformations of our existence brought by innovations ranging from biotechnology and nuclear engineering to artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and robotics. This new collection challenges the reader with provocative and original insights on the history, concepts, problems, and questions to be brought to bear upon humanity's complex and evolving relationship to technology.
