This book questions the notions of person, personality, dignity,
and other connected notions such as (informed) consent, and
discusses new perspectives on categories that allow ethical debates
in medicine to overcome morals and ordinary religious schemes. The
book states that one has to be careful when thinking about
situations in terms of notions and principles that have been
obtained in similar situations. Though this book is mostly
philosophical, it is also of great practical interest to healthcare
givers. It warns caregivers not to rely too much on notions such as
person, autonomy, and consent, which are supposedly firm but can be
proven to be unreliable in spite of appearances. Furthermore, this
work warns against a narrow anthropologisation of ethics which
would make technophobian positions unavoidable. On the contrary,
this book is open to robotics and offers - among other things - a
sustained exploration of the notion of intimacy.

In this unique study, Jean-Pierre Clero examines medical ethics
from a philosophical perspective. Based on the thoughts of great
philosophers, he develops a theory of medical ethics that focuses
on the values of intimacy.
