“…Yet, to say that welfare is agent neutral is another way of saying that it is not a subjective issue. So, we think that Dall'Agnol is on the right track in inviting us to twist the metaethical debate from the problem of looking at if moral statements are true or false statements (the controversy between moral realism versus moral irrealism in metaethics) to the issue of knowing how to care. And he is right that objectivity in ethics has nothing to do with finding “queer objects out there.” If we figure that moral norms guide behaviour, and if these norms are not subjective, then objectivity in ethics is saved from the burden of postulating unnecessary entities, p. 104.…”

Objective In this article, we offer an extended critical review of a new conception of bioethics, presented by Darlei Dall'Agnol, in the book Care and Respect in Bioethics. Methods Critical philosophical analysis of background assumptions of a new approach to bioethics, enriched with critical discussion of related philosophical literature. Results In Care and Respect in Bioethics, through an approach filled with hard cases, Dall'Agnol argues that the metaethics of respectful care has theoretical advantages over the intuitionist metaethics of principlism and the particularism of casuistry, offering an original comprehensive approach that crosses the three dimensions of ethical inquiry: metaethical, normative, and applied ethics. Conclusions Dall'Agnol offers an insightful and persuasive account of how the single attitude of respectful care can express practical moral knowledge in healthcare. In this paper, we evaluate, criticize, and suggest refinements. One of them concerns Dall'Agnol's interpretation about Stephen Darwall's views on care and respect as two attitudes supported, respectively, by a third‐ and a second‐personal moral point‐of‐view. Other is about the Dall'Agnol's Wittgensteinian description of the moral language‐games of Clinical Bioethics, adding to the approach the “language‐game of rights.”

“…The ontological status of values is debatable, conceivable as either the natural properties of the objects of valuation or as constructs of the individuals and societies that do the valuing. A helpful book edited by Sayre‐McCord covers the extensive debate between moral realists and antirealists. The nature of the justifications for the epistemological status of values is also debatable.…”

Philosophically, values refer to the basic commitments that justify judgements, beliefs and practices, both at the community and personal levels. The study of these kinds of values is axiology. We suggest that all people subscribe to three foundational values – survival, security and flourishing – and that these foundational values are expressed by way of concepts, systems, principles and practices that may differ substantially from culture to culture. Values can stand on their own as foundational justifications for health care and medicine. Many ethical quandaries can be better understood, even though they may remain unsolved, by reference to the foundational values that people can agree upon. This version of values‐based health care has strong claims to prior logical status as a justification for the whole enterprise of health care, and values‐based medicine is a part of this larger domain.

“…Gowans (2012) is a good summary of the position, and Kirk (1999) is a good introduction to the issue of relativism generally. Two other collections that are still valuable and which have excellent introductions are Sayre-McCord (1988), and Darwall, Gibbard and Railton (1992). Similarly, see Skorupski (2009).…”
