The nature of ethical expertise

S D Yoder. Hastings Cent Rep. 1998 Nov-Dec.

Abstract

Critics of clinical ethicists sometimes claim that if there were expertise in ethics, then there would have to be objective moral knowledge. They also assume that there would be only one kind of ethics expertise, and that it would be a kind of professional specialization. All three assumptions are mistaken.
