Produktbeschreibung
No area of practical philosophy receives stronger or more sustained attention than bioethics. It has been established as a staple course on university curricula across the world, influences the practice of professions within and beyond health care, and increasingly features in the public consciousness. Focused on and around the works of John Harris, this book addresses the most debated issues in contemporary bioethics. This anthology gathers together original works from some of bioethics' most celebrated scholars, such as Margaret Brazier, Raanan Gillon, Jonathan Glover and Ruth Macklin, as well as John Harris himself, offering his own reflections on the field of bioethics, to which he has contributed so much. The book examines theoretical issues in philosophical bioethics, and practical issues and problems in the application of philosophical argument. It closes with a chapter by Professor Harris in which he responds critically to the book's contributors. Whilst challenging, the chapters in this volume are accessible to a broad international readership, and will provide fundamental insights into the nature and limitations of ethical argument. The book will serve as an excellent resource for students, scholars and practitioners interested in bioethics.
