Reviews
.. .Wildes is to be commended for his insistence that procedural ethics is 'thicker' than many of its proponents and critics suggest... --Second Opinion, May 2001 Number 7 Wildes (Georgetown Univ.) offers a concise, topical book concerning the paradigms involved in bioethics methodology. He takes the unique perspective that there are many methodological issues in bioethics but we can come to understand how we are all bound together as acquaintances in a similar process. The first part of the book deals with the emergence, early processes, and moral paradigms that have been used in the past. The reader will become familiar with how these differences can actually work for the benefit of all when analyzing and rectifying moral dilemmas in bioethics. The second part elaborates on how moral communities are shaped and how agreement on moral differences can lead to procedures for resolving bioethical problems. Wildes clearly seeks to inform the reader of how bioethics can proceed into the future. The book could function as a required resource in a graduate school seminar on bioethics. Graduate students and up. --Choice, February 2002
