Abstract

LIMA, Natacha S.  and  CAMBRA BADII, Irene. The narrative roots of Bioethics: Aesthethics and subjectivity in Fritz Jahr’s early works. Anu. investig. [online]. 2013, vol.20, n.2, pp.291-299. ISSN 1851-1686.

The following paper is part of the research project UBACyT “Ethics and Human Rights: its articulation in the Universal Declaration (Unesco 2005) facing the new dilemmas of professional practice (Part II)”, directed by Prof. Juan Jorge Michel Fariña. It aims to investigate the origins of bioethics from the perspective of narrative hermeneutics. To this end we will first approach the contributions of Fritz Jahr in the period between 1926 and 1933. This selection is not random, it is intended to advance an ethical concern circumscribed to a specific historical period. It is in this period that we situate the birth of a discipline, embedded with the ideas of influential thinkers, thus allowing us to turn retroactively to certain ideas that supplement our current reflections on the practice. We will in turn use artistic contributions such as references to music, poetry, and literature, to analyze a certain worldview that supplements our way of approaching the complexity present in all bioethical actions.

Keywords : Bioethics; Jahr; Aesthetics; Narrative; Subjectivity.
