Abstract

https://doi.org/10.21860/j.15.2.5

One of the promising ways of constructing bioethics outside the global mainstream – characterized by a perspective narrowed down to issues related to medical ethics and research – is undoubtedly the Mediterranean bioethics, based on the rich intellectual heritage of the basin between European, Asian, and African continents. This bioethics, addressing the entire bios and thus far closer to the original ideas of Fritz Jahr and Van Rensselaer Potter, has particularly been nourished in Spain, Italy, Croatia, and Greece, producing an extensive corpus of publications. Following an international project devoted to investigating those cultural traditions and their bioethical roots, the present paper offers a tentative overview of the most influential individuals and their ideas and the most active institutions in the area.
