Over the last several decades, bioethicists have championed a
bewildering variety of methods for understanding and resolving
difficult ethical problems in medicine, including: principlism,
wide reflective equilibrium, casuistry, feminism, virtue theory,
narrative, and others. Much of this advocacy overlooks the
limitations of the favored method, and also neglects the strengths
found in alternative approaches.
Tom Tomlinson systematically uncovers and evaluates both the
strengths and limits of a variety of ethical tools, and in so doing
develops a comprehensive appreciation of the roles that various
methods can play in deepening our understanding of ethical problems
in medicine, and in supporting well-grounded judgments about what
to do. He critically evaluates each method to identify both limits
and advantages, which he then illustrates through discussion of
specific cases and controversies. Tomlinson not only demonstrates
that there is no single method adequate to the task, but tries to
develop an informed eclecticism that knows how to pick the right
tool for the right job. All those engaged in thinking about
bioethical theories will find Tomlinson's work important reading.
