Community, Personhood and Bioethics in Modernity: Catholic, Muslim, and Secular Thinkers in Dialogue

Published on Feb 12, 2020

Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies

This publication is a special essay series for the Science and the Human Person Working Group, part of the Contending Modernities Project housed at the University of Notre Dame's Keough School of Global Affairs and Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies. These eight essays invite us to consider how modern technologies have revolutionized not only how we can further human flourishing, but more deeply, how we define flourishing in the first place. In the sweep of essays ranging from technical, case specific, intimate, readers will be invited to consider the norms that guide technological applications currently and the ethical frameworks we should strive towards.
