I am doing research in medical ethics and the methodology of EBM and since Values-Based Medicine offers a different approach to many of EBM's problems, it would be interesting to see how different or similar personal values concerning medicine can be.
I would start with deliberation on how we make valuations.
One, two, three…esthetics, ethics, logic…
Logic (3) depends on ethics (2), which depends on esthetics (1).
_______________
That of first (1) is so tender that you cannot touch it without spoiling it…
That of second (2) is eminently hard and tangible. It is very familiar, too; it is forced upon us daily; it is the main lesson of life.
But at last they are found inadequate, and the Third is the conception which is then called for.
The Third (3) is that which bridges over the chasm between the absolute first and last, and brings them into relationship.
~Peirce, Guess at the Riddle
…logic can be understood as the study of correct reasoning, and correct reasoning consists of reasoning which follows an ultimate goal. (Sorensen and Thellefsen, and c.f., CP 1.611, CP 5.36)
The only moral evil is not to have an ultimate aim that can be consistently pursued. ~Peirce
I just realised that I asked this questions about two years ago and still have not received any real answers to it. I will post it again. Surely there must be thinks like emotional skills, etc that you consider to be important once you consult your GP.
