- Summary
- Mark G. Kuczewski analyzes the origins and methods of these two approaches and forges from them a new unified approach. Combining theoretical, practical and scholarly insights, this book will be of interest to philosophers, political and social scientists, and bioethicists.
- Synthesizing two of the most important methods in bioethics, communitarianism and casuistry, this book signals a new generation of work on the methods of problem solving in bioethics. Both communitarianism and casuistry have sought to restore ethics as a practical science - the former by incorporating various traditions into a shared definition of the common good, the latter by considering the circumstances of each situation through critical reasoning.
