Description

This is an examination of study and research in medical ethics. It consists of writings by a variety of authors from clinical medicine and from philosophy. The volume considers the role and scope of medical ethics and its relation to wider moral education and to public morality, and appraises different ways in which medical ethics may be pursued. Additionally it explores the involvement in medical ethics of applied philosophy and asks whether the popularization of virtue ethics offers medical ethics a way forward.
