This volume consists of fourteen chapters selected from papers
presented at the conference Ethics, Medicine and Health Care: An
Appraisal of the Thought of H. Tristram Engelhardt, Jr.' along with
a response to those chapters by Engelhardt and a Foreword by
Laurence B. McCullough. The chapters direct primary attention to
various aspects of Engelhardt's philosophy of medicine and
bioethics as presented in The Foundations of Bioethics and
Bioethics and Secular Humanism: The Search for a Common Morality.
Among the topics treated are the economics of health care and the
medical profession, the libertarian and communitarian aspects of
Engelhardt's thought, the moral status of children, abortion, the
moral foundations for a health care system, feminism and clinical
epistemology, and the relation between secular and religious
moralities. In response to the various challenges posed by the
authors, Engelhardt considers the implications of the failure of
the modern philosophical project, the role of reason in ethics, and
the resolution of conflict among communities that do not share the
same moral vision. The book will be of interest to professionals in
medicine, philosophy, theology, health policy, and law, and to
graduate students in those disciplines.
