Handbook of Bioethics:: : Taking Stock of the Field from a Philosophical Perspective: 78 (Philosophy and Medicine, 78) - Tapa blanda
Sinopsis
In general, the history of virtue theory is well-documented (Sherman, 1997; O’Neill, 1996). Its relationship to medicine is also recorded in our work and in that of others (Pellegrino and Thomasma, 1993b; 1996; Drane, 1994; Ellos, 1990). General publications stress the importance of training the young in virtuous practices. Still, the popularity of education in virtue is widely viewed as part of a conservative backlash to modern liberal society. Given the authorship of some of these works by professional conservatives like William Bennett (1993; 1995), this concern is authentic. One might correspondingly fear that greater adoption of virtue theory in medicine will be accompanied by a corresponding backward-looking social agenda. Worse yet, does reaffirmation of virtue theory lacquer over the many challenges of the postmodern world view as if these were not serious concerns? After all, recreating the past is the "retro" temptation of our times. Searching for greater certitude than we can now obtain preoccupies most thinkers today. One wishes for the old clarity and certitudes (Engelhardt, 1991). On the other hand, the same thinkers who yearn for the past, like Engelhardt sometimes seems to do, might stress the unyielding gulf between past and present that creates the postmodern reaction to all systems of Enlightenment thought (1996).

Reseña del editor
This book is for those interested in an extensive review of the field of bioethics. It is for philosophers who wish to understand the core conceptual issues in health care ethics, and for bioethicists who wish to better understand classical problems in philosophy that have a bearing on health care ethics.
The Handbook of Bioethics: Taking Stock of the Field from a Philosophical Perspective: presents a comprehensive survey of bioethics in one volume; has 27 of the most prominent scholars in the field take stock of the issues they helped define; contains essays that outline areas where future research is needed; identifies potential areas for fruitful collaboration between traditional philosophers and bioethicists; is an ideal text for graduate or upper level undergraduate courses.
