It is based on the conviction that philosophy, medical science, medical informatics, and medical ethics are overlapping disciplines. It claims that the philosophical lessons to learn from the twentieth century are not that nature is a 'social construction' and that 'anything goes' with respect to methodological and moral rules. Instead, it claims that there is scientific knowledge, but that it is never completely secure; that there are norms, but that they are situation-bound; and that, therefore, it makes good sense to search for scientific truths and try to act in a morally decent way. Using philosophical catchwords, the authors advocate 'fallibilism' and 'particularism'; a combination that might be called 'pragmatic realism'. 606 $aMedicine$xPhilosophy 606 $aMedical ethics 606 $aScience$xEthics 606 $aPhilosophy 606 $aScience 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMedicine$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aMedical ethics. 615 0$aScience$xEthics. 615 0$aPhilosophy. 615 0$aScience. 700 $aJohansson$b Ingvar$0615693 701 $aLyno?e$b Niels$0901423 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996308839403316 996 $aMedicine & philosophy$92014833 997 $aUNISA
