Clinical pragmatism: bridging theory and practice

Clinical pragmatism: bridging theory and practice

Joseph J Fins et al. Kennedy Inst Ethics J. 1998 Mar.

Abstract

This response to Lynn Jansen's critique of clinical pragmatism concentrates on two themes: (1) contrasting approaches to moral epistemology and (2) the connection between theory and practice in clinical ethics. Particular attention is paid to the status of principles and the role of consensus, with some closing speculations on how Dewey might view the current state of bioethics.
