Abstract

It starts with the definitive twentieth century analysis of the Hippocratic Oath and then shows how most religious and philosophical traditions differ from the ethical commitments contained in that classic document. Some like the quaint, medieval "Hippocratic Oath In So Far as a Christian May Swear It," show how it is impossible to commit to both the Hippocratic Oath and the Christian (or Jewish) religion at the same time. Others, representing modern secular liberal political philosophy, show how the mainstream of Western law and philosophy are radically at odds with the Hippocratic tradition. Still others reflect ancient Eastern cultures--Hinduism, Buddhism, and the philosophies of China--or other traditions outside the modern, liberal West, such as Islam and Marxism. The second edition includes, for the first time, articles presenting perspectives on both African and African-American medical ethics.
