Neuwertiges Ex. / Fine Copy // The Nuremberg Diary and Correspondence provide readers unprecedented access to the personal papers of Leo Alexander, the chief medical expert at the Nuremberg Doctors' Trial (19461947). This annotated edition offers a unique insight into the ethical and legal challenges that Alexander and his colleagues faced as they uncovered and documented the medical crimes of the Nazi regime, including human experiments, compulsory sterilisations, and the so-called "euthanasia" programme the killing of mentally ill and physically disabled people. Through his diary, we witness the meticulous work of a dedicated investigator, which laid the foundation for the Nuremberg Code, a landmark for human rights in modern biomedical ethics and the establishment of international medical law. Complemented by selected correspondence, photographs, scientific publications, detailed indices and excerpts from the trial, this volume is essential for anyone interested in the pursuit of justice and the development of human rights in medical science in the wake of the Second World War. The book is dedicated to the victims and survivors who have been persecuted by authoritarian regimes. ISBN: 9783515138581 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 599.

Gr.-8°, Brosch. VIII, 204 S.; mit 1 Grafik u. 4 Tab. Neuwertiges Ex. / Fine Copy // West-Eastern mirror discusses the formative cultural traditions in Germany/Europe and China with a special focus on the increasingly important aspects of "Virtue and morality". At present, there are increasing difficulties in understanding the 'other' in their cultural framing. In view of the fact that economic or scientific exchange on an international level is a matter of necessity, in recent years the need to ensure the cultural prerequisites has become even more urgent. First, the title deals with the cultural influences in Europe (Judaism, Christianity, Enlightenment) and China (Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism). In the second part, the focus encompasses a dialogue of European philosophy, with Rousseau, Herbart, Gadamer and Hegel. ISBN: 9783506707024 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 386.
