Klappentext zu „The Confluence of Philosophy and Law in Applied Ethics “
Thelaw serves a function that is not often taken seriously enough by ethicists,
namely practicability. A consequence of practicability is that law requireselaborated and explicit methodologies that determine how to do things with
norms. This consequence forms the core idea behind this book, which employs
methods from legal theory to inform and examine debates on methodology in
applied ethics, particularly bioethics. It is argued that almost all legal
methods have counterparts in applied ethics, which indicates that much can be
gained from comparative study of the two.
The
author first outlines methods as used in legal theory, focusing on deductive
reasoning with statutes as well as analogical reasoning with precedent cases. He
then examines three representative kinds of contemporary ethical theories, Beauchamp
and Childress's principlism, Jonsen and Toulmin's casuistry, and two versions
of consequentialism-Singer's preference utilitarianism and Hooker's
rule-consequentialism-with regards to their methods. These examinations lead to
the Morisprudence Model for methods
in applied ethics.
