Philosophy of medicine ? From a medical perspective [PDF]

Theoretical Medicine, 1992
In this commentary on the article by Arthur L. Caplan [1] the philosophy of medicine is viewed from a medical perspective.

Moral Perception and the Pursuit of Medical Philosophy

Theoretical Medicine and Bioethics, 1999
This paper begins by examining the claim that the practice of medicine is essentially a moral endeavor. According to this view, all clinical practice has moral content, and each clinical situation has a moral dimension. I suggest that in order to recognize this moral dimension, clinicians must engage in an interpretive process, and that they must be ...
