The working group for medical ethics at the Department of Philosophy (Prof. Dr. Annette Dufner) examines the philosophical foundations of practical ethics as well as specific contexts from the field of medicine that have particular ethical relevance. The group’s research work is oriented towards existential questions of philosophy and at the same time geared towards the practical requirements in clinical and regulatory practice. In the area of teaching, the group is involved in the development of the new medical course with innovative concepts together with the history and scientific theory of medicine (Prof. Dr. Lara Keuck) and medical law (jun.-Prof. Dr. Friederike Gebhard).
