The Methods of Bioethics

An Essay in Meta-Bioethics

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This is the first book that explains how you actually go about doing good bioethics. John McMillan develops an account of the nature of bioethics; he reveals how a number of methodological spectres have obstructed bioethics; and then he shows how moral reason can be brought to bear upon practical issues via an 'empirical, Socratic' approach.
