A Reflection about the Epistemological Status of Bioethics
Year: 2005
Type: preprint
Abstract: The usual understanding of bioethics is in terms o fan applied ethics. Here, I claim that such an approach does not really favour bioethics. I argue that bioethics is to be understood as belonging to the life sciences. Normally, little attention is paid to the relationship between epistemology and bioethics. It is necessary, I claim, to review such a relationship. New insights arise from such a perspective.
