Ethics, Principles and Practice.
Beatrice Campbell
The western liberal tradition has encouraged the acceptance of a variety of
approaches to ethical problems. A number of writers have suggested that
such diversity has impeded rather than assisted the application of ethical
principles in the health care field. Others, however, stress the richness
of the tradition and believe that such diversity is to be welcomed rather
than feared. Rather than retreat into an apparently secure past we should
reach forward into an exciting future in which we may find that we have far
more in common than our individual perspectives would imply.
The Conference programme includes over twenty contributions examining some
important developments in the continuing debate between individual autonomy
and 'communitarianism'. The Conference will concentrate particularly on
health care and bioethics.
