Fritz Jahr and the Foundation of Global Bioethics: the Future of Integrative Bioethics

The foundations of bioethics seem to be deeply rooted in human nature and human culture and thus bioethics and ethics have been and are global phenomena associated with human strive, human failure and human culture. The recent discovery of long forgotten works of Fritz Jahr (1895-1953), being based in the Bioethical Imperative, is slowly changing the history of bioethics, signalizing a new integating and integrative step forward into a global (bioethics) future. A first International Conference 'Fritz Jahr and European Roots of Bioethics: the Establishing of International Scholars' Network' was held in Rijeka and Opatija (Croatia) in March 2011 (www.eurobionethics.com) exploring Jahr's ideas and work. Some contributions in this volume were presented at that conference, which had been supported by the Kennedy Institute of Ethics at Georgetown University in Washington DC and by the Zentrum für Medizinische Ethik in Bochum. The proceedings containts following chapters: A Seed of Integrative Bioethics (16 articles by Jahr) ; Roots of Integrative Bioethis, Stems of Integrative Bioethics and Braches of Integrative Bioethics, as well as 2011 Rijeka Declaration on Future of Bioethis .
