CULTURAL PERSPECTIVES IN INTEGRATIVE BIOETHICS –<br />

THE EXAMPLE OF CONFUCIANISM<br />

One of the key methodological determinants of the concept of integrative<br />

bioethics is the inclusion of cultural perspectives as equal participants<br />

in discussions on specific bioethical issues as well as in efforts for a pluriperspective<br />

formation of orientational knowledge. The broadly defined notion<br />

of cultural perspectives includes the positions (social, cultural, worldview,<br />

religious, activist, artistic, etc.) that develop their particular views on<br />

bioethical problems created by the scientific-technological development,<br />

and are not characterised by scientific methodology and thus do not belong<br />

to the sphere of scientific perspectives. The intention of this paper is to<br />

consider some questions and potentials of thus conceived notion of cultural<br />

perspectives on the example of one of those perspectives – Confucian tradition<br />

of thought. Namely, Confucianism as one of the longest traditions<br />

in the history of mankind has greatly influenced the formation of Far East<br />

civilisation’s worldview. Therefore it surely seems worthy to examine specific<br />

Confucian understanding of the self, the person and its relationship to<br />

society, as well as the relationship of man and nature. These views, especially<br />

in the contemporary attempts to include Confucianism in the global<br />

bioethical discussion, are raising challenging questions on the theoretical<br />

and practical level, so we need to take into account the possible Confucian<br />

contributions in the dialogue on orientational knowledge.<br />
