Synopsis "Standing on Principles: Collected Essays "

Tom L. Beauchamp of Georgetown is one of the founding fathers of contemporary bioethics, and is particularly influential as one of the co-authors (with James Childress) of PRINCIPLES OF BIOMEDICAL ETHICS, first published by OUP over 25 years ago and a true cornerstone of contemporary bioethics. This volume is both an introductory textbook as well as a definitive expression of what is known as the dominant "principlist" approach which views bioethical reasoning developing out of four key principles: respect for autonomy, nonmaleficence, beneficence, and justice. This view has been highly influential over the last two decades and has set the agenda for the field. This volume will collect Tom Beauchamp's 15 most important published articles in bioethics, most of which were published over the last 25 years, and most of which have a strong connection to the principlist approach. Most of the essays included here augment, develop, or defend various themes, positions and arguments in that earlier book, both adding depth as well as taking off in new directions. Among the topic discussed are the historical origins of modern research ethics, to moral principles and methodological concerns. Beauchamp will include a new introduction to explain the history of the essays and their relationship to the principlist theory.

Tom Lamar Beauchamp fue un influyente filósofo estadounidense, pionero en el campo de la bioética y especialista en la obra de David Hume, la filosofía moral y la ética animal. Profesor emérito de Filosofía en la Universidad de Georgetown y Senior Research Scholar en el Kennedy Institute of Ethics, contribuyó de manera decisiva al Informe Belmont de 1978, redactando gran parte de este documento fundamental para la protección de sujetos en investigación biomédica.

Coautor junto a James F. Childress de la obra clásica Principios de ética biomédica —conocida en español como Principios de ética biomédica—, un texto seminal que articula los cuatro principios centrales: respeto a la autonomía, no maleficencia, beneficencia y justicia, y que ha moldeado la enseñanza y práctica ética en medicina a nivel global. Otras publicaciones destacadas incluyen Principles of Animal Research Ethics (con David DeGrazia) y colecciones de ensayos como Standing on Principles, enfocadas en dilemas éticos en investigación, uso de animales y justificación moral en salud pública y clínica. Su legado perdura en el análisis riguroso de cuestiones éticas contemporáneas.
