全球生命伦理学:共识的瓦解(上)——对全球性道德的探求:生命伦理学,文化战争和道德多样性

The Search for a Global Morality:Bioethics,the Culture Wars,and Moral Diversity

探究道德差异的核心问题以及哪种道德意见被我们采纳,比如为了建立医疗保健伦理模式与决策方法比较传统与后传统、家族本位与个人本位之间的关系。考虑到以道德多元化定义当代人类处境,关于卫生保健政策和生命法则的反思是明智的。这个反思强调了俗世伦理学的道德多元化和为对自由和责任进行俗世化思考的结论之间分歧的意义。

To explore the axes of moral difference along which moral controversies are eonstituted, such as the contrast between traditional versus post-traditional, family-oriented versus individual-oriented approaches to health care morality and decision-making. Attention is also directed to the grounds for the ineradicable pluralism of moral views we confront. In conclusion, a brief reflection is advanced regarding health care policy and biolaw, in light of the moral pluralism that defines the contemporary human condition. This reflection underscores the watershed implications of moral pluralism for a secular morality and its radical consequences for a secular account of liberty and responsibility.
