520 $a"At the Roots of Christian Bioethics: Critical Essays on the Thought of H. Tristram Engelhardt Jr., explores Professor H. Tristram Engelhardt, Jr.'s search for ultimate foundations - his pursuit for the decisive ground of the meaning of human existence and knowledge of appropriate moral choice. Engelhardt has been the most influential, cogent, but critical voice within bioethics of the past several decades. In The Foundations of Bioethics (1986; 1996 second edition), Engelhardt articulated the stark limits of secular bioethics - morality without God. Given the limits of general secular reason to secure unequivocal moral foundations, secular morality and political authority is strictly libertarian, created through the actual agreements of actual persons. It is this unflinching libertarianism for which Engelhardt is perhaps best known. With the publication of The Foundations of Christian Bioethics (2000), Engelhardt completed the previously one-sided picture. Here Engelhardt articulated a detailed and deeply serious account of Christian bioethics - morality secure in the knowledge of the one true God. The Foundations of Christian Bioethics specified bioethics set within the Holy Traditional Orthodox Christianity of the first millennium, which is all-encompassing, transcendentally oriented, frequently mystical, and framed in terms of the single-minded struggle towards ultimate salvation. The essays in this volume compass epistemological, methodological and topical contributions to bioethics, political theory, and Christian theology. Each contributor explores Engelhardt's diagnosis of the contemporary social and cultural crisis, seeking to make sense of the decidedly post-Christian and often openly anti-Christian ethics that dominates public morality and politic policy. Each author investigates Engelhardt's personal and tireless enquiry to secure ultimate moral foundations as well as to recognize the full implications."--Publisher's website.
