Kantian Constructivism as a Tool to Face Irrational Demand: In the Clinical Field
Journal Title: Annals of Bioethics & Clinical Applications - Year 2023, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
This article tries to put a metaethical framework, Kantian constructivism, to the applied test, specifically of the biomedical field. After briefly introducing and defining the branch of practical reasoning, I will show what Kantian constructivism is and what it can do in practice to face moral dilemmas. I will then argue that in the biomedical field it is possible to have behaviors, both on the part of patients and health practitioners, that can be addressed as practical irrationality, and that we can address moral dilemmas more effectively with the tools provided by Kantian constructivism. In arguing this I will focus on the analysis of a rare disease of a little girl and the demands of her parents.
