BIOETHICS FROM A PERSPECTIVE OF THE POSTMETAPHYSICAL THINKING

In this article the author investigates some bioethical theories and reveals non-reflexive philosophical ground, assuming metaphysical understanding of human as a rational being. Such uncritical vision of homo sapiens one can find in conceptions of bioethics, that reducing it to the practice. An original approach to this problem can be seen in contemporary feminist bioethics concepts, which presupposes radical transformation of the anthropological view. The author substantiates the origin of feministic bioethics by appearance in the Western philosophy the idea of "overcoming of the metaphysics". Transition to a "postmetaphysical" vision of human provokes the disclosure of its corporality as a social construct. On the one hand, the interpretation of human being as a being with the body opening possibilities of technological transformation of man, on the other hand, this understanding can helps to solve some bioethical problems, such as a passive euthanasia.
