JOHN GREGORY’S WRITINGS ON MEDICAL ETHICS AND PHILOSOPHY OF MEDICINE

This intensity reprints in a scholar’s edition the prototypal English-language texts on bioethics, Evangelist Gregory’s (1724–1773) Observations on the Duties and Offices of a Physician and on the Method of Prosecuting Enquiries in Philosophy (London, 1770) and Lectures on the Duties and Qualifications of a Physician (London, 1772). Five previously unpublished manuscripts of Gregory’s lectures are also included. An launching places Gregory’s scrutiny motive and belief of penalization in their eighteenth-century contexts of English Enlightenment story and culture, Baconian power and belief of medicine, scrutiny practice, the female and reformist belief of the Bluestocking Circle, and moralistic significance philosophy, specially king Hume’s construct of sympathy, and provides a bibliography of direct and alternative sources as an assistance to doctrine and forthcoming scholarship. The book’s finger provides admittance to Gregory’s texts, by using both arts cost and underway word of bioethics. A intensity in the subseries Classics of Medical Ethics.
