Introduction to Nonideal Theory and Its Contribution to Bioethics

Victor, Elizabeth; Guidry-Grimes, Laura K.

Pages: 3 –15

[At its core, nonideal theory is an attempt not only to address issues of justice, but it also provides us a lens through which we can articulate our limitations as knowers and reasoners, the ways in which we are relational in our autonomy needs, and the ways in which we are deeply dependent upon...

Ideal and Nonideal Theories: The Challenges of Decision-Making in an Imperfect World

Luna, Florencia

Pages: 17 –40

[In this paper, I will explore the relationship between ideal (ITs) and nonideal theories (NITs) and bioethics. I explore the challenges we face in their implementation in the real world. I argue that there is no sole theory (IT or NIT) that can guide the multiplicity of real world cases and...

The Positioning of Moral Agents and Its Relationship to Nonideal Bioethics

Beck, Daniel

Pages: 41 –69

[This chapter considers several prominent methods in bioethics and evaluates each according to how well they avoid idealizing assumptions and account for the effects of three kinds of positioning of moral agents: (1) within institutions, (2) along axes of social oppression, and (3) as...

Critical Theoretical Methodology for Nonideal Contributions to Bioethics

Neitzke, Alex B.

Pages: 71 –97

[Karl Marx argued that the preferable starting point for influencing social practices is to understand their workings—not to simply moralize social systems through idealization. This thread in Marx informs contemporary critical social theories such as feminism and critical race theory. Such work...

Conditioning Principles: On Bioethics and the Problem of Ableism

Reynolds, Joel Michael

Pages: 99 –118

[This paper has two goals. The first is to argue that the field of bioethics in general and the literature on ideal vs. nonideal theory in particular have underemphasized a primary problem for normative theorizing: the role of conditioning principles. I define these as principles that implicitly...

Bioethics Education and Nonideal Theory

Liebow, Nabina; Cratsley, Kelso

Pages: 119 –142

[Bioethics has increasingly become a standard part of medical school education and the training of healthcare professionals more generally. This is a promising development, as it has the potential to help future practitioners become more attentive to moral concerns and, perhaps, better moral...

Individual Moral Responsibility in the Anthropocene

Powers, Madison

Pages: 145 –168

[Modern life is full of examples of environmentally-mediated “group harms” – what Derek Parfit describes as harms produced by “what we all do together.” Typically, the harms are unintended and arise from the uncoordinated actions of many individuals. Their actions ordinarily are not inherently...

An Institutional Ethic of Care

Lanphier, Elizabeth

Pages: 169 –193

[Care ethics has a curious relationship to justice. Care theorists alternately portray justice as separate from yet at times intersecting with, parallel and distinct from, or falling within yet secondary to care. Theories of justice tend to imagine an ideal world, and reason about justice from an...

Power, Identity, and Liminality in an American Hospital

Gotlib, Anna

Pages: 195 –215

[Losing the sense of oneself is no trivial matter regardless of the reasons. But when these reasons have to do with the doubly-marginalizing circumstances of serious physical illness and subsequent hospitalization, the loss can be devastating in ways that extend beyond the patient’s release....

“Being at Home”, White Racism, and Minority Health

Bhandary, Asha

Pages: 217 –234

[The negative health effects of stress are well documented in medical and psychological research, but these effects are underexplored in political philosophy. This essay evaluates these effects in relation to the explanatory and normative value of the concept that I call “being at home.” The...
