________________ Philosophical Writings San Sebasrat "It woud not be an exaggeration to claim that the keen concern with matters of medical ethics over the lasi few years has not only led to a proper way of dealing with many medical matters, but it has also established the view that the main medical concepts: health, illness (physical or mental), care, healing, pregnancy, life, abortion, death, reproduction are not only descriptive but also axiologically loaded and are directly related to problems of a purely philosophical nature (that is, to matters examined by metaphysics, ethics, logic and epistemology.) Naturally, the answer to these problems affects not only medical research and science itself but is also connected to the whole network of activities referring to the concerns of the health sciences, such as medicine and hospital care and concern for the patient, man's life and death". - Prof. Konstantine Boudouris Head, Dept. of Philosophy, University of Achense, Greece histtsya URS Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.orgPage Navigation
