Understanding the Relationship of Law and Bioethics from Ronald Dworkin′S Philosophy of Law – Ideas, Significance and Scope

Abstract

Law and bioethics are important social phenomena. While Law, on the one hand, represents traditional social science, bioethics, on the other hand, is a relatively new scientific discipline. What characterizes both Law and Bioethics is a social practice that is considered and interdisciplinarity in the approach to the concepts, challenges and processes that social practice imposes. The paper seeks interdisciplinarity of Law and Bioethics and the importance of their mutual relationship fromfrom the perspective of Ronald Dworkin′s Philosophy of Law, one of the most important contemporary legal philosophers. The paper deals with the basic concepts, the significance and the comprehension of such an opinion on the understanding of law and bioethics, that is, the intersections in which they are inevitable.
