Historiography of bioethics, bioethical theories, epistemology of bioethics.Abstract
The history of bioethics can be told from two perspectives: as a discursive formation (Foucault, 2007) and as a scientific field (Bourdieu, 2004). The hypothesis is that when the first initiatives towards systematization of bioethics arose, they found an audience that was receptive to bioethics problems and had already become aware of these through the literature and the mass media. The constitution of the scientific field was preceded by the discursive formation, which was responsible for dissemination and publicity of the moral dilemmas posed by science. The conclusion is that coexistence between significant political power and fragile scientific capital places bioethics in a condition of heteronomy. In other words, it is susceptible to intrusions by non-scientific forces and, instead of providing a new theory of ethics, it has been converted into a kind of biomoralism.
