ZIP : Medicine and the temporal structure of the good life – theory and method of an empirically and hermeneutically-informed ethics

该研究小组的重点是医学和时间结构的美好生活之间的相互关系，需要系统地结合哲学，生物伦理学和药理学，血液学的研究观点。只有这种多视角的方法揭示了处理慢性病，计划生育和老年医疗保健提供这些看似不同的问题之间的总体联系，这些问题通常在完全不同的医学和传记背景下考虑。对学科方法、问题和方法的基本理论和方法论讨论，包括相关社会行为者的观点，对于在现代医学背景下全面详细地了解美好生活的时间条件至关重要。在此背景下，Zentral- und Integrationsprojekt（ZIP）追求三个主要目标。首先，它概述了关于美好生活的哲学观点与医学、健康科学以及社会和文化研究中的类似概念之间的概念联系。第二，从生命历程的整体角度，对不同的传记阶段和医学专业进行历时性的综合。第三，它有助于在理论和方法上反映的哲学和生物伦理讨论的结合，对美好生活的时间性和相应的经验社会和文化分析的日常生活取向和媒体叙事，以使他们生产的不同学科，特别是医学。心理心脏病学，生殖医学和老年护理各自的医学和传记背景的概要将提供全面的概念，理论和方法论的角度对现代医学背景下的美好生活的时间结构。对正在进行的研究进程的反思也将有助于确定在伦理学与社会、文化和健康研究的交叉点上进行这种跨学科合作的理论方法要求。最后，ZIP还促进公众在医疗选择和可能性的背景下审议美好生活的时间条件。

The research group’s focus on interrelations between medicine and the temporal structure of the good life requires a systematic combination of philosophical-bioethical and empirical-hemeneutical research perspectives. Only this multi-perspective approach reveals overarching connections between seemingly disparate questions of dealing with chronic diseases, planning reproduction, and healthcare provision in old age that are usually considered in completely different medical and biographical contexts. A fundamental theoretical and methodological discussion of disciplinary approaches, questions, and methods, including the perspectives of relevant social actors, is crucial for the development of a comprehensive and detailed understanding of temporal conditions of the good life in the context of modern medicine. Against this backdrop, the Zentral- und Integrationsprojekt (ZIP) pursues three main objectives. First, it outlines conceptual connections between philosophical perspectives on the good life and similar conceptions in medicine, the health sciences, and social and cultural research. Secondly, it aims for a diachronic synthesis of the different biographical phases and medical specialities in view of the life course as a whole. Thirdly, it contributes to a theoretically and methodologically reflected combination of philosophical and bioethical discussions on the temporality of the good life and corresponding empirical social and cultural analyses of everyday life orientations and media narratives in order to make them productive for the different disciplines and for medicine in particular. The synopsis of the respective medical and biographical contexts of psychocardiology, reproductive medicine, and geriatric care will provide comprehensive conceptual, theoretical, and methodological perspectives on the temporal structure of the good life in the context of modern medicine. The reflection of the ongoing research process will also help to identify theoretical-methodological requirements of this kind of interdisciplinary cooperation at the intersection of ethics and social, cultural and health research. Finally, the ZIP also promotes public deliberation on the temporal conditions of a good life in the context of medical options and possibilities.
