Moral Content, Tradition, and Grace: Rethinking the Possibility of a Christian Bioethics
Birth, suffering, disability, disease and death were by medicine’s successes placed within a context of seemingly novel challenges that cried out for new responses. Secular bioethics rose in response to the demands of these new biomedical technologies in the context of a culture fragmented in moral pluralism. While secular bioethics promised to unite persons separated by diverse religious and moral assumption, this is a promise that could not be …
Beyond the principles of bioethics: Facing the consequences of fundamental moral disagreement
Given intractable secular moral pluralism, the force and significance of the four principles (autonomy, beneficence,\nnon-maleficence, and justice) of Tom Beauchamp and James Childress must be critically re-considered. This essay\nexamines the history of the articulation of these four principles of bioethics, showing why initially there was an\nillusion of a common morality that led many to hold that the principles could give guidance across cult…
The Normativity of the Natural: Human Goods, Human Virtues, and Human Flourishing
Now, the Real Foundations of Bioethics
he Foundations of Christian Bioethics is Tristram Engelhardt's long-awaited sequel to The Foundations of Bioethics, the second edition of which was published in 1996. The new Foundations is a passionate, probing work of Orthodox theology (p. 199) by one of our most powerful and provocative thinkers. Engelhardt revisits many of the arguments raised in his earlier works but with a more explicit focus on Christian bioethics. Secular bioethics, an et…
Solidarity: Post-Modern Perspectives
The Foundations of Bioethics
This new, thoroughly recast Second Edition has been acclaimed as “the most important book written since the beginning of that strange project called bioethics” (Stanley Hauerwas, Duke University). Its philosophical exploration of the foundations of secular bioethics has been substantially expanded. The book challenges the values of much of contemporary bioethics and health care policy by confronting their failure to secure the moral norms they se…

Fashioning an Ethic for Life and Death in a Post-Modern Society
The question is explored of whether the state may stop competent\nindividuals from being voluntarily euthanatized, now that the state's power is\njustified by reason instead of divine right. The challenge of determining a\nmoral and political agenda which reason would endorse is analyzed in relation\nto the philosophical question: who may effectively constrain others so as to\nimpose a particular view of the good life and the good death? And why?…

Biological Nihilism and Modern Moral and Political Theory
As Arnhart acknowledges, the major intellectual challenge of the 20th century is to justify moral judgments rationally and to provide moral authority for political action when individuals meet as moral strangers who do not share common moral assumptions. This is the task of a secular morality that aspires to transcend particular religious or ideological commitments. The arguments for nihilism suggest that such a task cannot be successfully comple…

This study takes up the challenge presented to philosophy in a dramatic and urgent way by contemporary medicine: the phenomenon of human life. Initiated by a critical appreciation of the work of Hans Jonas, who poses that issue as well, the inquiry is brought to focus on the phenomenon of embodiment, using relevant medical writing to help elicit its concrete dimensions. The explication of embodiment, aided by critical studies and inquiries into m…

The Counsels of Finitude
I N THIS paper, I will contend that death is a natural event in the course of human life. If I am correct, there is something strange if not perverse in the very notion that an argument such as mine need be given. There is hardly any event as universal as death. How could such an ingredient element of human history be regarded as anything but natural? What would be the need of arguing that death is natural? What would be at issue in such a disput…
