Description
Arthur Dyck, one of the nation's most well known and profound ethicists, traces how the peculiarly American formulations of the rights of the individual have assaulted our once natural obligations to connect with, and be responsible for those around us. He critically examines contemporary society and the relationship between responsibilities and rights, particularly as they are expressed in medicine and health care, to maintain that while indeed rights and responsibilities form the moral bonds of community, we must begin with the rudimentary task of taking better care of one another.
