Medical Ethics Through The Ages.

ByAndreas Sofroniou

Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
Ethics are a set of human rules, which morally allow an individual to interact in, or live freely within a group of people. This may be in society at large, a team, a professional body, or a group of people with similar interests. Historically, ethics or moral philosophy, are as old as human comprehension. These can be traced back to the pre-historic prohibited and accepted patterns of attitudes. Through the ages, attempts were made by thinkers to clarify the way people behave, share things, mix in numbers, and maintain standards. In modern times, the catalogue of such values and rules become part of all professions. Ethical contacts change with the advent of a new belief, codes of practice and reliance on each other. The brief historical survey of Western ethics from Socrates to the 21st century has shown constant themes. Each of these major questions is considered by this book in terms of meta-ethics, normative ethics, and applied ethics.
