Wikipedia

  1. Principlism

    Principlism is an applied ethics approach to the examination of moral dilemmas that is based upon the application of certain ethical principles. This approach to ethical decision-making has been adopted enthusiastically in many different professional fields, largely because it sidesteps complex debates in moral philosophy at the theoretical level.Rather than engaging in abstract debate about the best or most appropriate approach at the normative level (e.g., virtue ethics, deontology or consequentialist ethics), principlism is purported to offer a practical method of dealing with real-world ethical dilemmas.

  1. principlism

    Principlism is a theoretical framework and approach to ethical decision-making in bioethics. It involves the application of a set of core moral principles to guide and justify healthcare decisions. These principles typically include autonomy (respecting individual's rights to self-determination and informed consent), beneficence (acting in a way that promotes the well-being and best interests of patients), non-maleficence (avoiding harm or minimizing risks), and justice (fair and equitable distribution of resources and treatment). Principlism aims to balance and reconcile these principles to reach ethically justifiable decisions in complex healthcare situations.
