ANNOUNCEMENT
National Endowment for the Humanities
Summer Seminar for College and University Teachers
"Bioethics in Particular"
12 June - 14 July, 2000
The University of Tennessee, Knoxville
If medicine is properly seen as persistently needing to strike a balance
between the generalities of the life sciences on which it draws and the
particularities of each patient it seeks to serve, bioethics can be seen in
much the same way. In this seminar, we will explore the ways in which
ethical reflection on health care practice and policy must balance general
moral insights against particular configurations of technologies, practice
patterns, and patients' social and personal situations. Working with
seminar co-directors James Lindemann Nelson and Hilde Lindemann Nelson, and
with William Ruddick, Sara Ruddick, and John Hardwig as guest faculty,
fifteen college and university teachers from a variety of disciplines will
consider the relationship between general ethical principles and such human
particularities as gender, familial connections, age, race, and physical
ability, as these bear on bioethical issues at the beginning and end of
life. The NEH provides a stipend of $3,250 for seminar participants.
Inquiries should be directed to Professor James Lindemann Nelson,
Department of Philosophy, 801 McClung Tower, University of Tennessee,
Knoxville TN 37996-0480. Phone: (423) 974-7216; e-mail:
