The risk that neurogenetic approaches may inflate the psychiatric concept of disease and how to cope with it
Poiesis & Praxis - Tập 6 - Trang 79-91 - 2008
Currently, there is a growing interest in combining genetic information with physiological data measured by functional neuroimaging to investigate the underpinnings of psychiatric disorders. The first part of this paper describes this trend and provides some reflections on its chances and limitations. In the second part, a thought experiment using a commonsense definition of psychiatric disorders ......
Medicine as practical wisdom (phronesis)
Poiesis & Praxis - Tập 1 - Trang 135-149 - 2002
Modern medicine faces fundamental challenges that various approaches to the philosophy of medicine have tried to address. One of these approaches is based on the ancient concept of phronesis. This paper investigates whether this concept can be used as a moral basis for the challenges facing modern medicine and, in particular, analyses phronesis as it is applied in the works of Pellegrino and Thom......
The long-term protection of biological diversity—lessons from market ethics
Poiesis & Praxis - Tập 3 - Trang 3-21 - 2004
Economic markets are not morally free zones. Contrary to popular misconceptions, market functioning rests on the ethical principles of fairness and voluntariness. This ethical foundation can be traced back at least to moral philosopher Adam Smith, one of the founders of modern economics. In the inconspicuous form of microeconomic axioms, these moral foundations are preserved. Thus, virtually all “......
Information, information systems, information society: interpretations and implications
Poiesis & Praxis - Tập 5 - Trang 159-183 - 2008
The term “information” has become a universal and omnipresent keyword in almost all areas of our modern world—be it in science or society in general. This is not only obvious from the naming of whole scientific branches like Information Theory, Information Science or Informatics but even more from common speaking—characterising our present time and society as information age viz. information socie......
Quality of life assessment and human dignity: against the incompatibility-assumption
Poiesis & Praxis - Tập 3 Số 3 - Trang 168-180 - 2005
Bear ye one another’s genetic burdens: the price of diversity and complexity
Poiesis & Praxis - Tập 3 - Trang 73-82 - 2004
Genetic variability and diversity are the result of a mutation-selection balance that acts permanently within and between species. The presence of deleterious mutations is a necessary consequence of this process and thus “the price paid by a species for its capacity for further evolution” (Haldane 1937, Am Nat 71:337–349). Recent estimations of mutation rate in the human lineage has revived the de......
Making worlds: epistemological, ontological and political dimensions of technoscience
Poiesis & Praxis - Tập 7 Số 1-2 - Trang 17-36 - 2010
What is a problem?
Poiesis & Praxis - Tập 7 - Trang 249-274 - 2011
Among others, the term “problem” plays a major role in the various attempts to characterize interdisciplinarity or transdisciplinarity, as used synonymously in this paper. Interdisciplinarity (ID) is regarded as “problem solving among science, technology and society” and as “problem orientation beyond disciplinary constraints” (cf. Frodeman et al.: The Oxford Handbook of Interdisciplinarity. Oxfor......
