The term bioethics' was coined in 1971, just as interest in the
medical humanities claimed a prominent place in medical education.
Out of this interest, a substantial area of research and
scholarship took shape: the philosophy of medicine. This field has
been directed to the epistemological, ontological, and
value-theoretical issues occasioned by medicine and the biomedical
sciences. Bioethics is nested in this field and can only be fully
understood in terms of the foundational issues it addresses. This
collection of essays in honor of Stuart F. Spicker, one of the
individuals who gave shape to the philosophy of medicine, lays out
the broad scope of concerns from the philosophy of embodiment, to
issues of the role of ethics consultants, to concepts of disease,
equity and the meaning of history.
