Howard Curzers Aristotle and the Virtues offers a formidable defense of Aristotles accounts of the virtues against contemporary criticisms.

CUSS, D., Imperial Cult and Honorary Terms in the New Testament. University Press, Fribourg (CH), 1974. 168p. Sewn. Cover a little bit stained. Series: Paradosis, XXIII. (Rare). 'This study of the relationship between early Christian cult and Roman emperorship contains much basically interesting material, but unfortunately lacks a truly critical focus on unification. (…) Topics of discussion include the titles Lord, Savior, and Son of God, the legend of ‘Nero Redivisu’, the use of acclamations, and the significance of the ‘Second Beast’ (Apocrypha. 13.11-17) for imperial worship. The final chapters deal with the relationship of persecution to the imperial cult, and with the terms ‘Ascension’ and ‘Epiphany’ as signs of divinity. (…) In studying the relationships between primitive Christian cult and imperial worship, the author seems to adopt a methodology which stands between the approach of an orthodox Christian historian and that of a cultural or comparative approach to religion. Similarities are discussed and indicated, but final conclusions are generally couched in terms of a discretions agnosticism. The approach and conclusions ring true, but lack the conviction that comes with clear evidence. (…) Sister Dominique Cuss has provided a summary of much useful material for further study in the ‘hellenization’ of Christianity.’ (G.H. ETTLINGER IN The Classical World, 1978, pp.488-489).

CUTTER, M. A. G., Thinking Through Breast Cancer. A Philosophical Exploration of Diagnosis, Treatment, and Survival. Oxford University Press, 2018. 248p. Hardback. Cutter's book is an excellent example of how philosophy can assist in the personalization of medicine, which has become impersonal and commercial in its delivery of clinical care. What makes her book so persuasive is that she exhibits full personhood both as patient and as agent. As patient, she recounts the impact not only of breast cancer but also of its treatment on her personal life... Cutter's book should be read not just by philosophers of medicine, but also by patients and health care professionals and administrators as well as policymakers. James A. Marcum, Theoretical Medicine and Bioethics |a 17/06/2021 (Publisher's information). € 44.83 (New) (TO)

Original brown cloth. Blind tooling. Spine gone. Hinges weak. Binding a bit weak. With personal correction on inside free endpaper, half title and plate XLVII from E.J. Marshall. Signature from E.J. Marshall on free endpaper. 'In such a work as this, accuracy in the engraved examples is of primary importance, and care has been taken to secure this as far as possible: the author is answerable for the accuracy of those marked with his initials, which have been carefully reduced from the stones themselves, or from rubbings; others are from drawings and reduced rubbings by friends upon whose correctness the author could depend (...). This branch of archaeology has been hitherto much neglected, though it is a very interesting one, and the examples are much more numerous than is generally imagined.' (EDWARD L. CUTTS in the Preface, p.V). € 59.50 (Antiquarian)
