内容説明

Discussion of medical ethics can be hampered by lack of understanding of the scope and methodology of the field and its scientific and philosophical basis. This book clarifies the purview, ontological basis and methodology of a medical ethics that is to be comprehensive and yet readily accepted by all. The authors begin by describing the scope of the analysis and discussing possible ethical systems and paradigms. They then deal with the structures and concepts necessary in the formulation of a coherent philosophy - normality and disease, scientific and juridical law, certainty and certitude, and decisions. Finally, they introduce particular human dimensions, such as quality of life, pain and responsibilty. Throughout the book case examples illustrate the authors' theoretical framework.
