Abstract

This book defends the conjugal view of marriage. Patrick Lee and Robert P. George argue that marriage is a distinctive type of community: the union of a man and a woman who have committed to sharing their lives on every level of their beings (bodily, emotionally, and spiritually) in the kind of union that would be fulfilled by conceiving and rearing children together. The comprehensive nature of this union, and its intrinsic orientation to procreation as its natural fulfillment, distinguishes marriage from other types of community and provides the basis for the norms of marital exclusivity and permanence. Lee and George detail how the basic moral norms regarding sexual acts follow from the ethical requirement to respect the good of marriage and explain how the law should treat marriage, given its conjugal nature, examining both the same-sex-marriage issue and civil divorce.

Abstract

Many sociological, historical and cultural stories can be and have already been told about why it is that parents in post-industrial, western societies face an often overwhelming array of advice on how to bring up their children. At the same time, there have been several philosophical treatments of the legal, moral and political issues surrounding issues of procreation, the rights of children and the duties of parents, as well as some philosophical accounts of the shifts in our underlying conceptualization of childhood and adult-child relationships. While this book partly builds on the insights of this literature, it is significantly different in that it offers a philosophically-informed discussion of the actual practical experience of being a parent, with its deliberations, judgements and dilemmas. In probing the ethical and conceptual questions suggested by the  parent-child relationship, this unique volume demonstrates the irreducible philosophical richness of this relationship and thus provides an important counter-balance to the overly empirical and largely psychological focus of a great deal of parenting  literature. Unlike other analytic work on the parent-child relationship and the educational role of parents, this work draws on first-person accounts of the day-to-day experience of being a parent in order to explore the ethical and epistemological aspects of this experience. In so doing it exposes the limitations of some of the languages within which contemporary parenting  is conceptualized and discussed, and opens up a space for thinking about childrearing and the parent-child relationship beyond and other than in terms of the languages which dominate the ways in which we generally think about it today.

Abstract

Le droit à la vie est le premier des droits individuels, consacré dans les systèmes conventionnel et constitutionnels des droits fondamentaux. L'idée même de la protection de ce droit a considérablement évolué, parallèlement aux avancées de la science et de la médecine. À la notion classique de protection de la vie contre toute atteinte s'ajoutent aujourd'hui les questions de l'intervention humaine - scientifique et médicale - dans la création: l'interruption de grossesse, la procréation médicalement assistée, la recherche sur les embryons, le clonage et l'euthanasie. À travers une analyse comparative des jurisprudences des cours constitutionnelles européennes et de la Cour des Droits de l'Homme du Conseil de l'Europe, l'auteur étudie la nature et la portée du droit à la vie afin de déterminer s'il existe dans ce domaine un droit commun européen
