Reading the Letter to Titus in Light of Crete: Dynamics of Early Christian Identity Construction

Reading the Letter to Titus in Light of Crete: Dynamics of Early Christian Identity Construction

Michael Robertson

BRILL
2023
sidottu
This volume argues that Titus's invocation of Crete affected the ways early readers developed their identities. Using archaeological data, classical writings, and early Christian documents, he describes multiple traditions that circulated on Crete and throughout the Roman Empire concerning Cretan Zeus, Cretan social structure, and Cretan Judaism. He then uses these traditions to interpret Titus and explain how the letter would intersect with and affect readers' identities. Because readers had differing conceptions of Crete based on their location and access to and evaluation of Cretan traditions, readers would have developed their identities in multiple, conflictual, even contradictory ways.

The First into the Dark

The First into the Dark

Michael Robertson; Astrid Ley; Edwina Light

Ubiquity Press (Uts Epress)

Under the Nazi regime a secret program of 'euthanasia' was undertaken against the sick and disabled. Known as the Krankenmorde (the murder of the sick) 300,000 people were killed. A further 400,000 were sterilised against their will. Many Complicit doctors, nurses, soldiers and bureaucrats would then perpetrate the holocaust.From eyewitness accounts, records and case files, The First into the Dark narrates a history of the victims, perpetrators, opponents to and witnesses of the Krankenmorde, and reveals deeper implications for contemporary society: moral values and ethical challenges in end of life decisions, reproduction and contemporary genetics, disability and human rights, and in remembrance and atonement for the past.

Ethics and Mental Health

Ethics and Mental Health

Michael Robertson; Garry Walter

Routledge
2013
nidottu
The field of ethics is expanding and has assumed new significance as a compulsory part of study for psychiatrists and all mental health professionals. Ethics and Mental Health: The Patient, Profession and Community presents a new approach to these ethical dilemmas that have become an increasing part of modern practice.The book begins by exploring current normative theories of psychiatric ethics. It describes how empirical methods can make codes of conduct more representative of professional values. Considering their previous work, concepts of justice, and the moderate communitarian position, the authors outline their methodology, which argues that mental health professionals exist within a perpetual state of tension, caused by conflicts between the Hippocratic Oath, personal values, notions of social justice, and the potentially harmful influences of their social role.Applying their theory to the area of involuntary psychiatric treatment, the authors address the context of psychiatric practice and the moral agency of psychiatrists. They outline the different influences on the craft of psychiatry to better illustrate the diverse forces that impact moral deliberation and the practice of ethics in mental health. In doing so, they cover areas as diverse as cultural, economic, scientific, and political domains. The final section of the book applies the methodology to contemporary problems in mental health ethics, formulating how mental health clinicians can approach these quandaries. The book brings a new perspective to classic dilemmas from the past, to contemporary challenges, and in anticipation, to new concerns that will inevitably arise in a dynamic and complex professional context.

A Primer For Experimental Evolution

A Primer For Experimental Evolution

Michael Robertson Rose; Richard E Lenski; Margarida Matos; Joseph L Jr Graves

WORLD SCIENTIFIC PUBLISHING CO PTE LTD
2026
sidottu
The purpose of this Primer is to explain the principles of Experimental Evolution. It explains how evolution experiments should be properly designed to examine fundamental principles of evolution and answer big questions in biology. The need for this primer has expanded, despite the advances in genomics, because the functional significance of genetic variation is not easily understood without an evolutionary lens. We believe that experimental evolution can take a leading role in meeting this challenge. We explain how experimental evolution uses strong-inference methods to probe the evolutionary mechanisms and dynamics that shape organismal functions. Using exemplary studies, we demonstrate how evolution experiments enable researchers to probe deeply into the genomic basis of adaptation by natural selection, by which, in the words of Charles Darwin, 'endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.'
