Course Content (Syllabus)
Our aim in the present series of lectures is to investigate the origins of Medical Ethics and Bioethics, and to examine whether they can be traced back to classical antiquity. For this reason we study in a systematic way the most representative texts of the ancient Greek and Roman philosophers - physicians in an effort we make to trace the starting point of contemporary medical ethics back to antiquity.
