From the morally relevant goals of medicine to medical ethics

Josef Seifert

pp. 139-185

Abstract

The concept of a philosophy of medicine and in medicine frequently is reduced to medical ethics. Given the centrality of ethical questions for medicine, this is understandable, although such a reduction is obviously inadmissible because there are many other problems of philosophy of medicine besides those pertaining to medical ethics, for example the epistemological question discussed before: "What is the knowledge gained in medicine?" or the questions pertaining to a philosophy of life and of philosophical anthropology, "What is human health?" or, "What is human life?".
