Modern medicine and bioethics: principles of non reconciliation

Abstract

This paper has the purpose to demonstrate the theoretical authors of the first generation of Frankfurt, modern medicine is an offshoot of reason, through Cartesianism, Enlightenment, Positivism and technicality. A medical technique and grounded in rational mythologizing totalitarian modernity, must not coexist with ethical reflections, so that the proposed bioethics inside this reason will always be innocuous. Thus, medicine and bioethics are irreconcilable since their genesis and, through its methods, even its teleology. For an ethical medicine, so the concrete path should start from the break with the rational structure that gives it modern contours.
