Synopsis

Following up from the previous book, Human Emotions and the Origins of Bioethics, this
volume focuses on four psychological problems, anxiety, narcissism, restlessness,
and emotional numbness, and explores how these problems influence bioethical issues and what bioethics can do to fix them.

The Role of Bioethics in Emotional Problems presents a phenomenological exploration of
emotional intention and describes how one’s choices can determine a better relationship to
themselves and their community. Not only does this book provide the reader with an exhaustive account of the philosophical and psychological meaning of practical intentionality within Husserl’s phenomenology, but it also applies Husserl’s ethics to contemporary studies of human emotions and bioethical problems. Offering a non-reductionist model for an interdisciplinary inquiry into an emotional experience, it integrates clinical practice and articulates foundational knowledge of human emotional life at a professional level.

Aimed at students of philosophy, psychology, psychotherapy, and bioethics, this book is a unique phenomenological dialogue between these disciplines on emotional well-being.
