For our children : the ethics of animal experimentation in the age of genetic engineering /
:
This book provides an overview of different ethical views on animal experimentation. Special attention is given to the production and experimental use of genetically modified animals. It proposes a middle course between those positions that are very critical and those very positive. This middle course implies that animal experiments originating in vital human research interests are commonly justified, provided that animal welfare is taken seriously. Some animal experiments are not acceptable, since the expected human benefit is too low and the animal suffering too severe. This position is supported by an argument from species care according to which we have special obligations to our children and other humans due to special relations. The book tries to bridge the gap between animal ethics and animal welfare science by discussing various conceptions of animal welfare: function-centered, feeling-based, and those focusing on natural living. The theoretical starting-point is "imaginative casuistry." This approach stresses the role of moral imagination and metaphor in ethical deliberation, accepts a plurality of values, and recognizes the importance of case-by-case balancing. In the discussion of genetically modified animals, both intrinsic ethical concerns and animal welfare concerns are addressed.

Our mythical childhood ... : the classics and literature for children and young adults /
:
This volume offers a survey of the reception of Classical Antiquity in the literature for youngsters by applying regional perspectives from East-Central and Western Europe, Africa, Israel, Japan, New Zealand, Russia, and the United States. The title Our Mythical Childhood hints at the elusive and paradoxical potential of the ancient tradition that is both a fixed base shared by many people worldwide since their early life as well as a body of references constantly being reinterpreted in response to local challenges. The reader is given a deeper insight into the processes shaping children's and young adults' identities and their cultural formation. The volume fills an important gap in the scholarship and contributes to the development of Reception Studies in innovative and attractive directions.

The scaffolding of our thoughts : essays on Assyriology and the history of science in honor of Francesca Rochberg /
:
Francesca Rochberg has for more than thirty-five years been a leading figure in the study of ancient science. Her foundational insights on the concepts of "science," "canon," "celestial divination," "knowledge," "gods," and "nature" in cuneiform cultures have demanded continual contemplation on the tenets and assumptions that underlie the fields of Assyriology and the History of Science. "The Scaffolding of Our Thoughts" honors this luminary with twenty essays, each reflecting on aspects of her work. Following an initial appraisal of ancient "science" by Sir Geoffrey Lloyd, the contributions in the first half explore practices of knowledge in Assyriological sources. The second half of the volume focuses specifically on astronomical and astrological spheres of knowledge in the Ancient Mediterranean.

Restored to our destiny : eschatology and the image of god in herman bavinck's reformed dogmatics.
:
A close conceptual analysis of Herman Bavinck's (1854-1921) four-volume Reformed Dogmatics, this book explores what is broadly understood as the central motif of his work, the "organic" relationship between nature and grace, and highlights an overlooked aspect to this motif. Bavinck's view of nature and grace is not only rooted in his Trinitarian theology, but, more importantly, in his covenant theology. Exploring Bavinck's link between the doctrine of the imago Dei to an eschatology uniquely provided by Reformed covenant theology, this book serves to illumine the rationale behind his signature dogma that "grace restores and perfects nature." Given the link between the nature/grace motif and covenant theology, this book raises the question whether the one can stand without the other.

"Our house is on fire" : Theater / Drama / Theatertext und Klimakrise /
:
Der Band untersucht, wie Theater und Dramatik Klimakrise und Artensterben als konkrete Realität darstellen, neue ästhetische Formen entwickeln und nichtmenschliche Akteur:innen einbeziehen, um über die Reflexion hinaus zum Handeln zu bewegen. Klimawandel und Artensterben sind seit Jahrzehnten bekannt, doch weiterhin scheuen viele die Konsequenzen notwendiger Veränderungen. Theater, Drama und Theatertext spielen traditionell eine gewichtige Rolle in gesellschaftspolitischen Reflexionsprozessen. Der Band versammelt Beiträge führender Wissenschaftler:innen, Dramatiker:innen und Dramaturg:innen, die sich mit der Frage auseinandersetzen, wie die Krise nicht nur als abstrakte Bedrohung, sondern als konkrete Realität darzustellen wäre, welche neuen Ästhetiken und Dramaturgien geeignet sind, auch nichtmenschliche Akteur:innen einzubeziehen und den anthropozentrischen Blickwinkel aufzubrechen. Dabei soll nicht nur wirksam reagiert, sondern zum Handeln motiviert werden.
