    Neoaristotelische Tugendethik
    In Christoph Halbig & Felix Timmermann (eds.), Handbuch Tugend und Tugendethik, Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden. pp. 333-348. 2021.
    Die neoaristotelische Tugendethik ist der Versuch, die klassische ethische Theorie des Aristoteles für aktuelle Fragen der praktischen Philosophie fruchtbar zu machen. Deren Vertreterinnen und Vertreter setzen dabei auf ein Erklärungsmodell, das Tugenden als situationsübergreifende Charaktermerkmale und intellektuelle Dispositionen, deren Einübung uns Menschen als rationale Wesen von Natur aus zukommt, in sein Zentrum stellt. Im Zentrum des Ansatzes steht die Behauptung, dass es notwendigerweise…Read more

    In this paper I give an overview about the general implications of issues of human nature within the field of human enhancement, especially paediatric neuro-enhancement. The first section of my contribution deals with a certain intertwining of human enhancement and the intrinsic claims of human nature showing that the concept of human nature still plays a crucial role in the debate on human enhancement. Subsequently, I take a step towards analysing of several childhood-related influences on thos…Read more

    Aristotelischer Naturalismus (edited book)
    Springer. 2017.
    Als eine Form des anthropologischen Naturalismus erhält der aristotelische Naturalismus eine immer größer werdende Bedeutung sowohl im Kontext der angewandten Ethik als auch im Hinblick auf die Beantwortung religionsphilosophischer und kulturanthropologischer Fragestellungen. Angesichts der globalen Herausforderung durch den biotechnologischen Fortschritt und der notwendigen Anerkennung natürlicher Wachstumsgrenzen werden systematische Antworten auf Fragen wie „Welches Verhältnis besteht zwische…Read more

    This paper is referring to Fichte’s ambivalent notion of nature. For Fichte, nature is something that needs to be formed. This formability is an evidence of the imperfection, even depravity of an unformed and therefore unfree nature. Fichte seems to allude indirectly on Martin Luther and the Reformation tradition. Accordingly, nature – which is in itself evil or will become evil – is a state from which men had to step out. The affinity to Rousseau’s picture of nature is obvious. Finally, the art…Read more

    Is it ‘more normal’ to enhance than to restore our nature?
    Ethics and Bioethics (in Central Europe) 7 (1-2): 105-113. 2017.
    In this paper I give a short overview about the general implications of issues of human nature within the field of human enhancement. The first section of my contribution deals with a certain intertwining of human enhancement and the intrinsic claims of human nature, showing that a non-statistical concept of human nature can play a crucial role in the debate on human enhancement. After that, my aim is to validate that particular enhancements (e.g. neuro-enhancement) fall under the same normative…Read more

    Blurring nature at its boundaries. Vague phenomena in current stem cell debate
    Medicine, Health Care and Philosophy 20 (3): 373-381. 2017.
    This paper illuminates the explanatory role of vagueness und species membership against the background of scientific developments in recent stem cell research. With the help of the Neo-Aristotelian concept of “life form naturalism” ontologically vague entities such as stem cells, all above induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS), could be described as necessary constituents for the correct sorting and naming of natural processes and its bearers. Furthermore this specific assessment allows drawing s…Read more
