Sample text
Should, as a result, abstract treatises on medical ethics be somewhat suspect in that they are too removed from the actual case situation? Many, perhaps all, of these questions can only be resolved by a practical consideration in detail of precise aspects of intellectual THE ARISTOTELIAN FRAME 31 and moral virtues. Aristotle is often accused of having a too simplistically rigid ethics. He is portrayed as seeing human nature as a very fixed and unchanging reality. To understand ethics we have only to understand the structures of human nature.
This happens only when we are consciously treating patients in a specialty such as cardiology or oncology. The skilled cardiologist is more and more precisely aware of practicing good cardiology. Actions of medical practice become more habitual. There is also a danger here in that one can concentrate too much on one or another speciality. An oncologist might become too fixed on attempts to cure a cancer and so overlook or not enough emphasize other medical aspects of the case. The same problem occurs in ethics.
At its worst this would simply be a counsel to non-activity. Even at its best it would not seem to be very good ethical advice. It would seem to prefer a kind of indecision or non-involvement as an ethical ideal. Seen in the context in which it is here presented quite another interpretation seems possible. In the practice of the moral virtues there must be a constant testing of one virtue against the other. This is a rather tense interplay and interaction. Too much temperance or too much courage lead not only to unethical but to silly behavior.
