Bioetyka a wiara

Abstract

The problem of a relation between bioethics and faith is complex when it refers to Christian religion. It begins on the plane of the relationship between philosophy and Christian philosophy, more exactly, of the disputable question whether philosophy can have a Christian character. In the light of methodological principles, philosophy (the natural one) seems to exclude religious motives in advance. A similar problem can be observed in the field of ethics. In its proper sense, it is a philosophical science (as has been stated in the above definitions of bioethics). If so, ethics is, in its wrong sense, a form of moral theology, as it has occurred in the so-called ‘theological ethics’ being the field of research of some authors.
