| Description: |
This monograph constructs a virtue-based ethic for medicine and health care. Specific virtues such as trust, compassion, justice, courage and self-effacement are discussed. The text concludes by examining how a virtue-based ethic of medicine effects the analysis of health care problems. |
| Synopsis: |
This book constructs a virtue-based ethics for medicine and health care. Beginning with the problem of relating virtues to principles, the authors develop a theory that this linkage lies in the goals of medicine and the nature of medical practice as a moral community. Specific virtues such as trust, compassion, prudence, justice, courage, temperance, and self-effacement are discussed in separate chapters. The book ends by examining how a virtue-based ethic of medicine makes a difference in analysing problems like caring for the poor, research on human subjects, whether the medical virtues can be taught in professional training, and how a refurbished philosophy of medicine can enhance medicine and health care in the future. |
