This reflection aims to guide physicians in navigating modern ethical dilemmas in healthcare.

This book makes four bold 1) life is an ultimate datum, open to philosophical analysis and irreducible to physical reality; hence all materialist-reductionist explanations - most current theories - of life are false. 2) All life presupposes soul ( entelechy ) without which a being would at best fake life. 3) The concept of life is analogous and the most direct access to life in its irreducibility is gained through consciousness; 4) All life possesses an objective and intrinsic value that needs to be respected, human life possesses beyond this an inviolable dignity. Life and personal life are pure perfections, it being absolutely better to possess (personal) life than not to possess it.Chapter 1: the metaphysical essence and the many meanings of 'life,' as well as its 'transcendental' character. Chapter 2: the irreducibility of biological life , its amazing empirical and philosophically intelligible essential features, and the ways of knowing them. Chapter 3: the immediate evidence and indubitable givenness of mental, conscious life as well as questions of (brain-) death and immortality. Chapter 4: the inviolable objective dignity of personal life and its self-transcendence; a new theory of the fourfold source of human dignity and rights. Chapter 5 (in dialogue-form): methods and results of philosophy versus those of empirical life-sciences.

Engaging in a profound dialogue with prominent philosophers like Descartes, Kant, Husserl, and Gadamer, Professor Seifert presents a radical rethinking of the phenomenological method. He posits that the essence of phenomenology is rooted in the fundamental insights of philosophy, linking it to the tradition of philosophia perennis. This work advocates for a universal, objectivist philosophy that draws directly from the legacies of Plato, Aristotle, and Augustine, offering a fresh perspective on the foundations of philosophical thought.

This work explores the "method" of realist phenomenology and philosophy through three aspects: types of philosophical knowledge, ways to achieve this knowledge, and various techniques like methodic doubt and epoché. It emphasizes the importance of intellectual insights, distinctions, and questioning in understanding reality and existence.

Warum sollte Philosophie, die sich eigentlich an jeden Menschen richtet, immer in trockener Sprache und in Büchern dargestellt werden, die wenige Leser anziehen und von noch wenigeren verstanden werden? Das vorliegende Werk gräbt Schätze tiefsinniger philosophischer Einsichten aus, die Johann Nestroy uns im attraktiven Gewand brillanter Sprachspiele, „metaphysischer Komplimente“, unterhaltsamer Couplets und sprühenden Witzes schenkt. Damit erfüllt es einen Herzenswunsch Johann Nestroys, der sich als Hauptdarsteller seiner eigenen Komödien häufig über wiehernde Lachsalven seines Publikums ärgerte und uns wissen ließ, daß sich unter dem meist heiteren, manchmal auch tragischen Gewand seiner Komödien tiefe Erkenntnisse über den Menschen, die Welt, die Wahrheit, die Gerechtigkeit und Ehrlichkeit und das absolute Gute verbergen, die erst der nachdenkliche Leser entdeckt.

Der Streit um die Wahrheit kritisiert die Auffassung der Urteilswahrheit als "Übereinstimmung mit den Sachen". Durch die Analyse alternativer Wahrheitstheorien wird ein vertiefter Begriff des Sachverhalts entwickelt, der die Mängel der klassischen Korrespondenztheorie überwindet und deren Verteidigung neu betrachtet.
