In the new episode of FAB Gab, Nora Hämäläinen discusses her recent paper on contextually, bioethics, and the nature of philosophy. Using the writings from two traditions, the classic moral philosophical and the bioethical, Hämäläinen responds to Barry Hoffmaster’s recent paper (2018), in which he claims that bioethics must free itself from applied ethics (and therefore moral philosophy) to become a ‘contextual ethics’. Hämäläinen proposes that we can achieve a rich and complex ethics by using the resources of folks, such as feminist ethicists, have been proposing and defending for decades.

You can find Hämäläinen’s paper in the latest issue of IJFAB, and you can listen to the episode (as well as previous episodes) here.
