This article try to analyze why, although personalistic bioethics is expanding, there are so few theoretical studies on its characteristics and identity, and concludes it is due to a problem of lack of specificity. Personalistic bioethicists rely either on movements or institutions that have a weak theoretical foundation or in the realist philosophy taken in a very broad sense, which generates a problem of internal inconsistency due to its great diversity. To solve this problem the author proposes: 1) be aware of the existence of this theoretical problem; 2) solve it through the use of personalistic philosophy understood as a particular philosophical school of the XX century. In this sense, the author proposes: 1) a detailed description of personalistic philosophy; 2) states that a particular version, the modern ontological personalism, developed from an anthropological point of view by Wojtyla, from a bioethical point of view by Sgreccia and from the theory of personalism by Burgos is the best choice to put the foundations of personalistic bioethics. The author concludes exposing the contributions and limits of this theory for personalistic bioethics, and the steps that should be followed to promote it and develop it.
本文试图分析为何尽管个人主义生命伦理学正在扩展,但其特征和身份的理论研究却如此之少,并得出结论认为这是由于缺乏特异性的问题。个人主义生命伦理学家要么依赖理论基础薄弱的运动或机构,要么依赖非常广义的现实主义哲学,这因其多样性而产生了内部不一致的问题。为了解决这个问题,作者提出:1)意识到这个理论问题的存在;2)通过运用被理解为20世纪特定哲学流派的个人主义哲学来解决它。从这个意义上说,作者提出:1)对个人主义哲学进行详细描述;2)指出一个特定版本,即现代本体论个人主义,由沃伊蒂瓦从人类学角度、由斯格雷恰从生命伦理学角度以及由布尔戈斯从个人主义理论角度发展而来,是奠定个人主义生命伦理学基础的最佳选择。作者在结尾阐述了该理论对个人主义生命伦理学的贡献和局限性,以及推广和发展它应遵循的步骤。
