This unit of study provides students with a foundational understanding of the methods employed in bioethical analysis and argumentation. This unit explores the meaning of 'bioethics' as a concept and practice, both historically and in contemporary discussions. The seminars introduce a diverse range of normative, argumentative, and empirical methods used in bioethics. We consider the relationship between scholarship, advocacy, and activism in bioethics, as well as epistemic justice, reflective equilibrium, and critical approaches to bioethics. We consider the role of theology and metaphysics in contemporary bioethical debate. Learning activities will include intensive workshops and small group discussions.
