In this article, I write about dialogue on ethical issues in the flied of death and dying. I leave it to others to address the specific ethical issues. My focus is applied ethics in general and especially our manners of speaking about ethical issues. I first consulter an appropriate approach to applied ethics that places great emphasis on narrative and dialogue. I then treat the theme of dialogue itself. The title “Can We Talk?” defines the shape of my treatment of that them. As talk, dialogue has distinctive contour and value. To engage in dialogue, persons must conceive of themselves and behave as a distinctive type of we, and through dialogue they aim to define the kind of we they wish to be. Persons can engage in dialogue only if they avoid personal and social, factors that tend to inhibit or undermine it. The near unavoidability of these inhibitors makes necessary dialogue about ethical issues elusive. |
