Love and the Dignity of Human Life: On Nature and Natural Law, Paperback

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?-).
