	Bedside and Philosophically Oriented Clinical Practice -- Radical Psychology, Vol. 1, Issue 1. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Tauber sees his book as an autobiographical and philosophical essay in which he, as the son of a doctor, compares the medical world in which he grew up with that in which his own children are growing up.
		The illustrative example for this is Tauber himself: while suffering severely from a kidney stone, and after several emergency room visits and hospitalization, he had to decide alone to "pass" the stone with an operation or not.
		Tauber contends that the doctor-patient relationship would be more realistic and more ethically informed by recognizing patients' loss of autonomy and adopting instead absolute respect and loving care for the patient.

	Countrybookshop.co.uk - Patient Autonomy and the Ethics of Responsibility
		In this examination of the doctor-patient relationship, physician and philosopher Alfred Tauber argues that the idea of patient autonomy - which was inspired by other rights-based movements of the 1960s - was an extrapolation from political and social philosophy that fails to ground medicine's moral philosophy.
		Tauber examines the historical and philosophical competition between facts (scientific objectivity) and values (patient care) in medicine.
		Tauber calls for an ethical medicine in which facts and values are integrated and humane values are deliberately included in the program of care.

	Henry David Thoreau and the Moral Agency of Knowing by Alfred I. Tauber
		Tauber approaches him as a historian and philosopher of science, and shows how Thoreau was reacting against a rising tide of positivism - a form of radical objectivity -- to preserve his individualistic perspective on the world.
		Tauber's major theme is that all knowledge is value-laden and we choose the values by which to know the world and live in it.
		Tauber is charting out a post-critical understanding of the nature of knowledge, building on two philosophies: Michael Polanyi's "tacit mode" of understanding and Emanuel Levinas's ethical metaphysics.

		In his graceful philosophical account, Alfred I. Tauber shows why Thoreau still seems so relevant today--more relevant in many respects than he seemed to his contemporaries.
		Thoreau was caught at a critical turn in the history of science, between the ebb of Romanticism and the rising tide of positivism.
		While this scope is wildly ambitious, Tauber admirably delivers, always informing his parts with the whole, consistently altering the whole with his parts."-Eric Wilson, author of Emerson's Sublime Science "In arguing for the centrally moral and ethical value of Thoreau's works, Tauber is taking a brave stance in these slippery postmodern times.

		, Alfred Tauber probes the ethical structure of contemporary medicine in an argument accessible to lay readers, healthcare professionals, and ethicists alike.
		Through personal anecdote, historical narrative, and philosophical discussion, Tauber composes a moral portrait of the doctor-patient relationship.
		Arguing against an ethics based on a presumed autonomy, Tauber presents a relational ethic that must orient medical science and a voracious industry back to their primary moral responsibility: the empathetic response to the call of the ill.

		In this examination of the doctor-patient relationship, physician and philosopher Alfred Tauber argues that the idea of patient autonomy -- which was inspired by other rights-based movements of the 1960s -- was an extrapolation from political and social philosophy that fails to ground medicine's moral philosophy.
		Beneficence, Tauber argues, should not be confused with the medical paternalism that fueled the patient rights movement.
		Framing the practicalities of the clinical encounter with moral reflections, Tauber calls for an ethical medicine in which facts and values are integrated and humane values are deliberately included in the program of care.

		In his book, Confessions of a Medicine Man, physician-philosopher Alfred Tauber describes the attitude of, and deference to, his father, a doctor in the southern USA in the 1960s.
		The elder Dr Tauber is an example of the paternalism of his generation.
		Dr Tauber would probably have resented being called paternalistic: he was, after all, simply doing what was best for his patients and, as their doctor, both he and his patients assumed that he knew what was best.

	Henry David Thoreau Presented by The Thoreau Project
		For the most part, commentators have gingerly isolated Thoreau’s mystical “moments” and set them to one side, so as not to disturb their analytic framework.
		To early commentators, this was evidence of a decline in Thoreau’s creative inspiration – a biographical stereotype today discarded.
		Like these, Hodder examines Thoreau’s intent “to write himself, in effect, deliberately out of the picture” in the nature-journalizing of the late period, but he has found a more rewarding mode of inquiry.
