Transcendental Bioethics of Displacement

Abstract

To explore the question of what constitutes “good bioethics,” the author begins by examining the criteria established by Hofmann and Magelssen for argumentative, empirical, and dialectic approaches. This leads to a meta-ethical definition of good bioethics that emphasises the importance of genuine communication and consideration of future generations. The author then introduces the transcendental bioethics of displacement, which focuses on energy and the psyche. By examining the relationship between energy and displacement, we can better understand the experiences of individuals with conditions such as autism spectrum disorder and advanced Alzheimer's dementia. Ultimately, we see how these concepts complement and expand upon one another, providing a more comprehensive understanding of what constitutes “good bioethics.”
