Recenzje

"With this bold and path-breaking work Susi Ferrarello offers a new way to understand the subject of bioethics. She does so by going back to one of the founders of the field, Van Rensselaer Potter, and by aligning herself to the phenomenological tradition, developing a philosophy and ethics of life itself. By highlighting the role played by emotions in bioethics the book brings new light to such diverse matters as physician burnout, AI in health care, gene editing, and chronic pain management." - Fredrik Svenaeus, Professor of Philosophy at Södertörn University, Sweden
