Begins with the classical idealism of Kant and ends with the deconstructionism of Derrida. Schools of thought, not individual philosophers, are the focus of this work.
Covers ethical and moral dimensions of scientific and technological innovations; basic concepts of life, death, health, etc.; principles and virtues used as guides for human behavior; world-wide religious traditions; history of medical ethics; and disciplines contributing to bioethics from anthropology to the sociology of science.
