Bioética y el paradigma emergente. Aportaciones al quehacer bioético

Abstract

The tendencies of nihilism and extreme epistemological relativism have either blocked the disciplinary matrix of the bioethics dialogue, or taken it down a path of diminishing returns regarding important decisions about ethical dilemmas. The current contribution attempts to respond to specific necessities that bioethics is confronting such a discipline in practical and theoretical construction. An emerging paradigm is proposed as an autoregulatory operative model and interdisciplinary approach. In addition criteria of reliability are set forth in order to facilitate the capacity of moral and epistemic agents to make decisions in different areas of university-level education and research.
