Tom L. Beauchamp of Georgetown is one of the founding fathers of
contemporary bioethics, and is particularly influential as one of the
co-authors (with James Childress) of PRINCIPLES OF BIOMEDICAL ETHICS,
first published by OUP over 25 years ago and a true cornerstone of
contemporary bioethics. This volume is both an introductory textbook
as well as a definitive expression of what is known as the dominant
"principlist" approach which views bioethical reasoning developing out
of four key principles: respect for autonomy, nonmaleficence,
beneficence, and justice. This view has been highly influential over
the last two decades and has set the agenda for the field. This volume
will collect Tom Beauchamp's 15 most important published articles in
bioethics, most of which were published over the last 25 years, and
most of which have a strong connection to the principlist approach.
Most of the essays included here augment, develop, or defend various
themes, positions and arguments in that earlier book, both adding
depth as well as taking off in new directions. Among the topic
discussed are the historical origins of modern research ethics, to
moral principles and methodological concerns. Beauchamp will include a
new introduction to explain the history of the essays and their
relationship to the principlist theory.
