応用倫理学

applied ethics

池田光穂

★応用倫理学とは、道徳的配慮の実践的側面である。私生活や公的生活、専門職、健康、技術、 法律、リーダーシップなどにおける現実の行為とその道徳的考察に関する倫理学である。例えば、生命倫理は、安楽死、希少な医療資源の配分、研究におけるヒ ト胚の使用など、生命科学における道徳的問題に対する最善のアプローチを特定することに関わる。環境倫理学は、公害を浄化する政府や企業の責任など、生態 系の問題を扱う。企業倫理には、一般市民や雇用主に対する内部告発者の義務も含まれる(→応用倫理学語彙集)。

Applied ethics is the practical aspect of moral considerations. It is ethics with respect to real-world actions and their moral considerations in private and public life, the professions, health, technology, law, and leadership.[1] For example, bioethics is concerned with identifying the best approach to moral issues in the life sciences, such as euthanasia, the allocation of scarce health resources, or the use of human embryos in research.[2][3][4] Environmental ethics is concerned with ecological issues such as the responsibility of government and corporations to clean up pollution.[5] Business ethics includes the duties of whistleblowers to the public and to their employers.[6]

History

Applied ethics has expanded the study of ethics beyond the realms of academic philosophical discourse.[7] The field of applied ethics, as it appears today, emerged from debate surrounding rapid medical and technological advances in the early 1970s and is now established as a subdiscipline of moral philosophy. However, applied ethics is, by its very nature, a multi-professional subject because it requires specialist understanding of the potential ethical issues in fields like medicine, business or information technology. Nowadays, ethical codes of conduct exist in almost every profession.[8]

An applied ethics approach to the examination of moral dilemmas can take many different forms but one of the most influential and most widely utilised approaches in bioethics and health care ethics is the four-principle approach developed by Tom Beauchamp and James Childress.[9] The four-principle approach, commonly termed principlism, entails consideration and application of four prima facie ethical principles: autonomy, non-maleficence, beneficence, and justice.


歴史

応用倫理学は、学術的な哲学的言説の領域を超えて倫理の研究を拡大してきた[7]。今日見られる応用倫理学の分野は、1970年代初頭に急速な医療や技術 の進歩をめぐる議論から生まれ、現在では道徳哲学の一分野として確立している。しかし、応用倫理学はその性質上、医療、ビジネス、情報技術などの分野で起 こりうる倫理的問題を専門的に理解する必要があるため、多職種が関わる学問である。今日では、ほとんどすべての職業において倫理的行動規範が存在する。

道徳的ジレンマの検討に対する応用倫理学的アプローチは、様々な形態をとることができるが、生命倫理学や医療倫理学において最も影響力があり、最も広く利 用されているアプローチのひとつが、トム・ボーシャン(Tom Beauchamp)とジェームス・チルドレス(James Childress)によって開発された4原則アプローチである[9]。4原則アプローチは、一般的にプリンシプル主義と呼ばれ、自律性、非マレフィケン ス、恩恵、正義という4つの一応の倫理原則の検討と適用を伴う。


Underpinning theory
Applied ethics is distinguished from normative ethics, which concerns standards for right and wrong behavior, and from meta-ethics, which concerns the nature of ethical properties, statements, attitudes, and judgments.[10]

Whilst these three areas of ethics appear to be distinct, they are also interrelated. The use of an applied ethics approach often draws upon these normative ethical theories:

Consequentialist ethics, which hold that the rightness of acts depends only on their consequences.[11] The paradigmatic consequentialist theory is Utilitarianism, which classically holds that whether an act is morally right depends on whether it maximizes net aggregated psychological wellbeing. This theory's main developments came from Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart Mill who distinguished between Act and Rule utilitarianism. Notable later developments were made by Henry Sidgwick who introduced the significance of motive or intent, and R. M. Hare who introduced the significance of preference in utilitarian decision-making. Other forms of consequentialism include Prioritarianism.
Deontological ethics, which hold that acts have an inherent rightness or wrongness regardless of their context or consequences. This approach is epitomized by Immanuel Kant's notion of the categorical imperative, which was the centre of Kant's ethical theory based on duty. Another key deontological theory is natural law, which was heavily developed by Thomas Aquinas and is an important part of the Catholic Church's teaching on morals. Threshold deontology holds that rules ought to govern up to a point despite adverse consequences; but when the consequences become so dire that they cross a stipulated threshold, consequentialism takes over.[12]
Virtue ethics, derived from Aristotle's and Confucius' notions, which asserts that the right action will be that chosen by a suitably 'virtuous' agent.
Normative ethical theories can clash when trying to resolve real-world ethical dilemmas. One approach attempting to overcome the divide between consequentialism and deontology is case-based reasoning, also known as casuistry. Casuistry does not begin with theory, rather it starts with the immediate facts of a real and concrete case. While casuistry makes use of ethical theory, it does not view ethical theory as the most important feature of moral reasoning. Casuists, like Albert Jonsen and Stephen Toulmin (The Abuse of Casuistry, 1988), challenge the traditional paradigm of applied ethics. Instead of starting from theory and applying theory to a particular case, casuists start with the particular case itself and then ask what morally significant features (including both theory and practical considerations) ought to be considered for that particular case. In their observations of medical ethics committees, Jonsen and Toulmin note that a consensus on particularly problematic moral cases often emerges when participants focus on the facts of the case, rather than on ideology or theory. Thus, a Rabbi, a Catholic priest, and an agnostic might agree that, in this particular case, the best approach is to withhold extraordinary medical care, while disagreeing on the reasons that support their individual positions. By focusing on cases and not on theory, those engaged in moral debate increase the possibility of agreement.

Applied ethics was later distinguished from the nascent applied epistemology, which is also under the umbrella of applied philosophy. While the former was concerned with the practical application of moral considerations, the latter focuses on the application of epistemology in solving practical problems.[13]
基礎理論

応用倫理学は、善悪の行動基準に関する規範倫理学や、倫理的特性、声明、態度、判断の性質に関するメタ倫理学とは区別される[10]。

これら3つの倫理学領域は別個のように見えるが、相互に関連している。応用倫理のアプローチは、しばしばこれらの規範的倫理理論を利用する:

結果論的倫理学は、行為の正しさはその結果のみに依存するとするものである[11]。典型的な結果論的理論は功利主義であり、ある行為が道徳的に正しいか どうかは、それが正味の集合的心理的幸福を最大化するかどうかに依存すると古典的に考えられている。この理論の主な発展は、行為功利主義と規則功利主義を 区別したジェレミー・ベンサムとジョン・スチュアート・ミルによるものである。その後の発展としては、動機や意図の重要性を導入したヘンリー・シジウィッ クや、功利主義的意思決定における選好の重要性を導入したR.M.ヘアが注目される。結果主義の他の形態としては、優先主義がある。
非論理的倫理学(Deontological Ethics):行為には、その背景や結果に関係なく、固有の正しさや悪さがあるとする。このアプローチは、イマヌエル・カントの定言命法の概念に象徴さ れ、義務に基づくカントの倫理理論の中心であった。トマス・アクィナスによって大きく発展し、カトリック教会の道徳に関する教えの重要な部分を占めてい る。閾値論的脱ontologyは、不利な結果にもかかわらず、ある時点までは規則が支配すべきであるとする。しかし、結果が規定された閾値を超えるほど 悲惨になると、結果論が引き継がれる[12]。
徳倫理学は、アリストテレスや孔子の考え方から派生したもので、正しい行動は適切な「徳のある」行為者によって選択されると主張する。
規範的倫理理論は、現実世界の倫理的ジレンマを解決しようとする際に衝突することがある。結果主義と脱ontologyの間の分裂を克服しようとする一つ のアプローチは、casuistryとしても知られるcase-based reasoningである。詭弁論は理論から始めるのではなく、現実の具体的なケースの事実から始める。casuistryは倫理的な理論を利用するが、 倫理的な理論を道徳的な推論の最も重要な特徴として見ない。アルバート・ジョンセンやスティーブン・トゥールミン(The Abuse of Casuistry, 1988)のような詭弁家は、応用倫理の伝統的なパラダイムに異議を唱えている。理論から出発して特定のケースに理論を適用するのではなく、特定のケース そのものから出発し、その特定のケースに対してどのような道徳的に重要な特徴(理論と実践的考察の両方を含む)を考慮すべきかを問うのである。医療倫理委 員会を観察したジョンセンとトゥールミンは、参加者がイデオロギーや理論ではなく、ケースの事実に焦点を当てたとき、特に道徳的に問題のあるケースについ てのコンセンサスがしばしば生まれると述べている。従って、ラビ、カトリック司祭、不可知論者は、この特定のケースでは、特別な医療を差し控えることが最 良のアプローチであることに同意するかもしれない。理論ではなくケースに焦点を当てることで、道徳的な議論に携わる人々は、合意の可能性を高めることがで きる。

応用倫理学は後に、同じく応用哲学の傘下にある新興の応用認識論と区別されるようになった。前者が道徳的考察の実際的な適用に関心を寄せていたのに対し、後者は実際的な問題の解決における認識論の適用に焦点を当てている[13]。
