Die Zielsetzung der geplanten Reihe ist es, Ethik und Empirie eng miteinander zu verbinden: So sollen möglichst konkrete, auch in der breiteren Öffentlichkeit diskutierte ethische Fragestellungen aufgegriffen werden, die empirischen Befunde aus den jeweils relevanten empirischen Wissenschaften zu diesen Fragestellungen gesichtet und philosophischen, theologischen, juristischen usw. Reflexionen und Beurteilungen unterworfen werden. Mögliche Themen sind: Xenotransplantation, Sterbehilfe und assistierter Suizid, Organspende, Kinderethik, Tierethik usw. Gerade angesichts der neuen molekularbiologischen Entwicklungen gewinnen Fragen zur Bedeutung der Natur für das ethische Argument und für bioethische Debatten an Dringlichkeit und Relevanz, die sich auch in der Arbeit von Ethik-Kommissionen zeigt. Es soll auch untersucht werden, wie die empirischen Fragestellungen und die Arbeit von Ethik-Kommissionen die ethische Theoriebildung beeinflusst.
The new series aims to closely combine ethics and empiricism: It is intended to address concrete ethical questions that are also discussed in the broader public, to examine the empirical results from the relevant empirical sciences on these questions, and to discuss philosophical, theological, legal, etc. issues in a more comprehensive way. Possible topics are: Xenotransplantation, euthanasia and assisted suicide, organ donation, child ethics, animal ethics, etc. Particularly in view of the new developments in molecular biology, questions about the significance of nature for ethical arguments and for bioethical debates are becoming increasingly urgent and relevant, which is also reflected in the work of ethics committees. The study also examines how empirical questions and the work of ethics commissions influence ethical theory formation.
