Principlism
View through CrossRef
This chapter provides a survey and critical evaluation of the theory of principlism, as expounded by Tom Beauchamp and James Childress in their increasingly authoritative work The Principles of Biomedical Ethics (editions 1979, 1983, 1989, 1994, 2001, 2009, 2013). It explains the main elements of the theory and how Beauchamp and Childress’s conception of principlism evolved through different editions of their book, as they assimilated their responses to criticisms into an increasingly expansive account. The chapter ends with a discussion of two criticisms of principlism that remain outstanding: the first concerns the interpretation of principles and their application to actual cases, while the second questions the source and justification of principles.
