Value Pursuit in Medical Ethics Education: A Dewey Style Understanding / 中国医学伦理学

ABSTRACT

In medical ethics education, there are two different research and education paths medical ethics and medical anthropology. The former focuses on using theories and methods such as utilitarianism and contract theory, while the latter focuses on using theories and methods such as narrative medicine and emotion theory. The two paths are not closely related, resulting in the weak ecological structure of medical ethics education. Drawing on Dewey’s value education theory and based on his theory of human nature, this paper integrated the values of life and human nature into a coordinated and consistent goal of medical ethics education, used the two paths of "medicine-life value-life value education" and "medicine-human nature value-human nature value education" to conduct detailed argumentation, further grasped the concept of value philosophy, so as to provide an opportunity for future exploration of the integration of medical moral education and medical aesthetic education.
