Towards the Bioethics of Individual's Health: Introduction of the Cosmist Philosophical Fundamentals
Abstract
"Is a comprehensive moral philosophy of medicine possible? Is this still a philosophical enterprise?" Meeting this challenge, the author endeavours to give positive answers to these substantial questions of Professor Edmund D. Pellegrino. In pushing his way, the author primarily attempts to ground bioethics in the higher order philosophical - cosmological, ontological, epistemological, axiological - principles, sufficient for the further advancement of the concept of universal bioethics, capable, in turn, to deal precisely with the object of individual's health. It is essential that author's novel bioethical system builds on the great potential of the Russian cosmist philosophical tradition of pan-unity and active evolution.Key Words: Philosophical cosmology, wholistic ontology, cosmist epistemology and axiology, CosmoBiotypology, bioethics of individual's health"Philosophy is a science and therefore, like every other science, it seeks to establish truths that have been strictly proved and are therefore binding for every thinking being and not only for a particular people or nation."
