Description

In a modern, pluralistic world, the rapid advancements in medicine create frequent opportunities for moral conflict. This academic work from Springer explores how bioethical theories often fail to find the right balance, either overestimating or underestimating the shared beliefs that can help resolve these disputes. This book offers a new way to approach medical ethics by taking pluralism seriously. It introduces the concept of moral acquaintance, which allows for meaningful engagement between individuals with differing viewpoints. By examining the tension between diverse perspectives and the likelihood of common ground, this text provides a framework for navigating complex ethical decisions in healthcare. Whether you are studying medical ethics, philosophy, or social sciences, this volume provides a rigorous critique of existing theories. It challenges the idea that pluralism is an insurmountable barrier and also questions the assumption that reasonable people always agree. This work is an essential resource for understanding how to manage moral disagreements in a diverse society.
