“…Unfortunately, the topic is rarely addressed in textbooks or introductory seminars on applied ethics. Philosophical-ethical theories are presented and discussed much more often without much explanation regarding their inherent relatedness or the ways of selecting one for the treatment of a concrete ethical issue [27-29]. It is also rather uncommon for authors writing in applied ethics to declare explicitly why they feel themselves committed to a specific ethical theory ([30], p. 62).…”

The normative background of empirical-ethical research: first steps towards a transparent and reasoned approach in the selection of an ethical theory

BackgroundEmpirical-ethical research constitutes a relatively new field which integrates socio-empirical research and normative analysis. As direct inferences from descriptive data to normative conclusions are problematic, an ethical framework is needed to determine the relevance of the empirical data for normative argument. While issues of normative-empirical collaboration and questions of empirical methodology have been widely discussed in the literature, the normative methodology of empirical-ethical research has seldom been addressed. Based on our own research experience, we discuss one aspect of this normative methodology, namely the selection of an ethical theory serving as a background for empirical-ethical research.DiscussionWhereas criteria for a good ethical theory in philosophical ethics are usually related to inherent aspects, such as the theory’s clarity or coherence, additional points have to be considered in the field of empirical-ethical research. Three of these additional criteria will be discussed in the article: (a) the adequacy of the ethical theory for the issue at stake, (b) the theory’s suitability for the purposes and design of the empirical-ethical research project, and (c) the interrelation between the ethical theory selected and the theoretical backgrounds of the socio-empirical research. Using the example of our own study on the development of interventions which support clinical decision-making in oncology, we will show how the selection of an ethical theory as a normative background for empirical-ethical research can proceed. We will also discuss the limitations of the procedures chosen in our project.SummaryThe article stresses that a systematic and reasoned approach towards theory selection in empirical-ethical research should be given priority rather than an accidental or implicit way of choosing the normative framework for one’s own research. It furthermore shows that the overall design of an empirical-ethical study is a multi-faceted endeavor which has to balance between theoretical and pragmatic considerations.

“…Er weist darauf hin, dass es die Aufmerksamkeit war für konkrete Fälle, konkrete Situationen, für die Obligationen, die Personen als Individuen oder professionelle Rollenträger darin erfahren, und für die Beziehungen zu den in der Situation Involvierten, die der Ethik ein neues Betätigungsfeld und gesellschaftliche Relevanz gesichert haben -im Wesentlichen das, was dann "angewandte Ethik" im Kontrast zur "allgemeinen Ethik" genannt wurde (vgl. Pieper und Thurnherr 1998;Stoecker et al 2011). Aber diese angewandte Ethik ist wesentlich eine Individual-und keine Organisationsethik.…”

ZusammenfassungOrganisationen sind wichtige Intermediäre in modernen ausdifferenzierten und pluralen Gesellschaften. In ihnen und durch sie werden ein Großteil der Entscheidungen verfertigt. Das betrifft nicht zuletzt Organisationen des Gesundheitssektors. Durch Digitalisierung und Vernetzung werden solche organisationalen Prozesse erneut und in erheblichem Maße herausgefordert, was auch die Organisationsethik zu Rekonzeptualisierungen zwingt. Der Artikel skizziert einige Grundprobleme einer der Digitalisierung angemessenen Organisationsethik.
