In this paper it will be argued that Beauchamp and Childress' principle-based approach to bioethics has strongly pragmatic features. Drawing on the writings of William James, I first develop an understanding of methodological pragmatism as a method of justification. On the basis of Beauchamp's and Childress' most recent proposals concerning moral justification in the fifth edition of their Principles of Biomedical Ethics (2001), I then discuss different aspects that the principle-based approach and methodological pragmatism have in common.
在本文中，我们将论证博尚和奇尔德雷斯基于原则的生物伦理学方法具有强烈的实用主义特征。借鉴威廉·詹姆斯的著作，我首先阐述对方法论实用主义作为一种证成方法的理解。基于博尚和奇尔德雷斯在其《生物医学伦理学原则》第五版（2001年）中关于道德证成的最新提议，我接着讨论基于原则的方法与方法论实用主义的共同之处。
