Bioethics in a European Perspective

International Library of Ethics, Law, and the New Medicine #8

by Henk A.J.M. ten Have (Editor), Bert Gordijn (Editor)

This book gives an overview of the most salient themes in present-day bioethics. The book focuses on perspectives typical for the European context. This highlights not only particular bioethical themes such as social justice, choices in health care, and health policy (e.g., in post-communist countries), it also emphasizes specific approaches in ethical theory, in relation to Continental philosophies such as phenomenology and hermeneutics.
