Elliott has another book: A Philosophical
Disease: Bioethics, Culture and Identity. It also mentions
Percy. Has anyone read that and would anyone recommend that over the
"Better than Well" book?
Someone on the this list mentioned Carl Elliott's Better than
Well. If someone has read it and is willing to share his/her insights into
it, I'd appreciate it (especially how his ideas might relate to
Percy). I read the description and thought about using it in a class next
spring. So, if anyone would like to throw out some ideas about it, we
might have a nice discussion on the book. (My copy just came today and I
haven't had a chance to start it yet. And with syllabi to prepare by next
week, I probably won't have time until after next week. But I would like
to see what others think of it.) Thanks. -David
