Returning to phylosophical foundation of bioethics (Review of the monograph by B.A. Navrotskiy and M. V. Reymer “Philosophical anthropology as the methodology of “culturological turn” in bioethics”)

At the end of 2016 year the monograph “Philosophical anthropology as the methodology of “culturological turn” in bioethics” by Volgograd scientists Boris Alexandrovich Navrotskiy and Maria Vladimirovna Reymer was published [1]. The authors have collected the comprehensive material for bioethical discussions in the modern western intellectual community which is compared to the domestic bioethical tradition, though they do not apply the scale 'good-bad'. The main advantage of the book is the freedom of thought which the authors give to readers. There are not any absolute judgments and definite conclusions in the monograph. The authors are likely to suggest that the readers could reflect on the fate of modern bioethics. In fact, there were many difficulties in the development of that field of science.
