American Society for Bioethics and the Humanities [ASBH] Philosophy Affinity Group Call for Abstracts: 2007 Meeting Richard Zaner, a phenomenologist and clinical ethicist, recently wrote, “I believe that the practice of clinical ethics is of a piece with the practice, if I may so express it, of philosophy; vice versa, the ‘‘doing’’ of philosophy – which is to say, systematic and highly focused reflective practice – is the same, ultimately, as what is done in the practice of clinical ethics.” Connections between the practice of philosophy, in particular the aspects of philosophy outside of practical ethics, and the understanding of clinical ethics extend to many if not most areas associated with the traditional practice of philosophy. The understanding of these philosophical endeavors, and their interaction with clinical ethics, will have significant implications for the understanding and practice of clinical ethics. The Philosophy Affinity Group of ASBH welcomes abstracts of papers in any area of philosophy that show the interaction and/or value of that area of philosophy for the understanding and practice of clinical or medical ethics, for presentation at the ASBH Annual Meeting in Washington, DC, in October 2007. We welcome abstracts from all areas of philosophy, though we will show a preference for abstracts discussing aspects of philosophy outside of ethics. Abstracts of no more than 750 words should be submitted electronically by June 15 to: Stephen S.
