This textbook introduces the reader to basic problems in the
philosophy of science and ethics, mainly by means of examples from
medicine. It is based on the conviction that philosophy, medical
science, medical informatics, and medical ethics are overlapping
disciplines. It claims that the philosophical lessons to learn from
the twentieth century are not that nature is a 'social
construction' and that 'anything goes' with respect to
methodological and moral rules. Instead, it claims that there is
scientific knowledge, but that it is never completely secure; that
there are norms, but that they are situation-bound; and that,
therefore, it makes good sense to search for scientific truths and
try to act in a morally decent way. Using philosophical catchwords,
the authors advocate 'fallibilism' and
'particularism'; a combination that might be called
'pragmatic realism'.
Ingvar Johansson is Professor emeritus of Theoretical Philosophy at Umeå University (Umeå, Sweden). He is author of the books A Critique of Karl Popper's Methodology and Ontological Investigations, as well as journal papers in many different areas of philosophy.
