Integrative Bioethics and Problem of Truth

Summary/Abstract: The integrative bioethics is methodologically determined by the idea of pluri-perspectivism. According to this idea, the “orientational knowledge” can be attained only through the interaction of different cognitive perspectives within the certain subject field. This methodological standpoint, in its philosophical background, presupposes strictly determined understanding of truth, which can accordingly be called (pluri)perspectivistic. The aim of this article is to explicate the presupposed notion of truth in order to philosophically legitimize pluri-perspectivistic cognitive methods and to ground the new paradigm of knowledge. This paper consists of three sections: the definition of the integrative bioethics is given in the first section; then the author gives systematic review of various philosophical approaches to the concept of truth; and, finally in the third part, the string of the pluri-perspectivistic understanding of truth within the history of philosophy is being reconstructed.
