Abstract

In bioethics, the contrast between normative and empirical approaches has commonly been aligned with disciplinary differences: bioethics defines itself as a form of normative inquiry, while empirical methods have traditionally been viewed as principally the tools of the social sciences (Chan and Coggon 2013). Framed in this way, the empirical bioethics enterprise appears as a form of “disciplinary sociality”: what can social science do for bioethics, we might ask; or, perhaps more equitably, what can bioethics and social science do together?
