At a time when the practice of medicine is subject to technical and biopolitical imperatives that give rise to defensive bioethics, it is essential to revitalize the ethical dimensions of care at the very heart of the clinic, in order to give new meaning to the moral responsibility that inhabits it. This contribution seeks to meet this challenge by drawing on the ethical resources of the work of Emmanuel Levinas. In Levinas' view, ethical responsibility is the response to the injunction, the interpellation, of the other's face, and humaneness is conceived entangled in the other's face. Against this background, I suggest that Levinas' philosophical insight constitutes a turning point from a traditional to a new conception of responsibility that may bear great significance to a renewed understanding of an hermeneutics and an ethics of care. By drawing on this aspect of Levinas' thought, I would like to reveal the ethical core of an ethics of clinical care that shapes a new insight on medical judgment.
在医学实践受到技术和生物政治要求的影响，从而产生防御性生物伦理学的时代，振兴临床核心关怀的伦理维度至关重要，以便为其中所蕴含的道德责任赋予新的意义。本贡献旨在通过借鉴 Emmanuel Levinas 的伦理资源来应对这一挑战。在 Levinas 的观点中，伦理责任是对他人面孔的命令、召唤的回应，而人道性被认为与他人的面孔纠缠在一起。在此背景下，我认为 Levinas 的哲学洞察力构成了从传统到新的责任观念的转折点，这可能对重新理解解释学和关怀伦理学具有重大意义。通过借鉴 Levinas 思想的这一方面，我想揭示临床关怀伦理学的伦理核心，为医疗判断提供新的见解。
