A scholarly exploration of character-based ethics in healthcare, examining how moral virtues can guide clinical conduct beyond rigid rules and laws. Organized into units addressing moral theory, virtue, and practical dilemmas, the collection uses case studies to illuminate complex bioethical challenges.
Through a collection of scholarly articles, Bioethics in Search of Virtue: A Character-Based Approach explores the character-based ethics embedded within healthcare practices, addressing a pivotal but often overlooked aspect of medical ethics. The anthology dissects the role of virtues as opposed to rules and laws in guiding healthcare practitioners' conduct, offering a unique and vital perspective that navigates through moral theory, moral virtue, and specific bioethical issues.

The content is organized into three core units, which explore moral theory, the essence and structure of moral virtue, and a range of moral issues as they manifest in healthcare scenarios. It discusses ethical theories such as consequentialism and deontology and their applicability to clinical practices. The text includes case studies and real-world applications, grounding complex theoretical discussions in practical healthcare dilemmas.

Bioethics in Search of Virtue encourages students to critically explore the moral landscape of contemporary healthcare, fostering a nuanced understanding of ethical principles as they pertain to healthcare providers' vocational integrity and the broader field of bioethical debate. It is well suited for coursework in bioethics, medical humanities, and philosophy of healthcare.

James H. Joiner is a lecturer in the Department of Philosophy at Northern Arizona University. His areas of concentration include philosophy of religion, medieval philosophy, and bioethics. He also works as an ethicist and serves on the ethics board at a regional medical center.
