Contemporary philosophy and bioethics

摘要

The vivid interest for the issues of ethics in general and for those of medicine and biology in particular obviously stands for a cultural phenomenon which needs no further proof. Yet, these interests require an interpretation, for which the informative clews are not enough as long as it must be oriented towards the internal plausibility of the mentioned phenomenon. With a view to clearing up the philosophic stand point in this circumstance, we intend further on to tackle upon the following issues: 1. The necessity with respect to which philosophy, in its academic and institutional form, must place a stronger emphasis on bioethics. 2. The cultural representations of human nature and substance. 3. The intricacies of ethics - an applied ethics in the nowadays scientific pattern.
