Abstract

In this chapter, we propose a methodology of Ethical Counselling addressed to the physician and/or the medical team. The aim of this second methodology is to help clinicians to have a more complete picture of the moral issues raised by the clinical case they encounter in their daily practice. We show that this methodology is philosophically grounded upon the way Medieval philosophers structured their argumentations.

    As known, between the twelfth and the thirteenth centuries, the first universities arose (even before, if we consider the Medical School of Salerno: ninth–tenth centuries) as pearls of a precious necklace: Bologna (1088), Paris (1090), Oxford (1096), Montpellier (1150), Cambridge (1209), Padova (1222), Napoli (1224), Toulouse (1229), Siena (1240), Coimbra (1290), Rome (1303), Perugia (1308), Firenze (1321), Pisa (1343), Valladolid (1346), Prague (1348), Pavia (1361), Krakow (1364), Vienna (1365), Heidelberg (1386), Ferrara (1391), etc.
