Rational justification of an objective and publicly acceptable bioethics
pp. 237-304
in: , The philosophical diseases of medicine and their cure I, Berlin, Springer, 2004Abstract
In the first four chapters of this work I have attempted to sketch outlines of a philosophy of medicine, general ethics, and medical ethics and defended a number of content-full ("material") goods and ends which medicine should serve. For medicine to serve these concrete and content-full goods I have declared not only to be desirable but constitutive of medicine qua medicine.
