Product Details
1 Historical Introduction INTRODUCTION This chapter is mainly about the history of medicine and its ethics. As usually c- ceived, history is retrograde: It is what happened yesterday, and, much as we may try, it is what happened yesterday seen with a set of todays eyes. Trying to understand yesterdays culture may help us put on a pair of corrective glasses, but it fails in - tirely correcting our vision. Contemporary cultural anthropology may likewise help us understand the way todays events and cultural habits shape what we call history tomorrow. Past events and the kaleidoscopic pattern of todays cultures may help guide us into a future that in at least some respects is ours to forge. Learning about ethics yesterday and thinking about ethics as it expresses itself in various cultures today can help us shape the ethics of tomorrow: This is true whether we are speaking of that part of social ethics called medical or of any other part of social ethics. The social aspects of medical practicehow the institution called medicine fits into and works within the greater society called cultureshape the way its ethics ultimately must play itself out.
