Newell","doi":"10.5840/PHILCONTEXT1984148","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5840/PHILCONTEXT1984148","url":null,"abstract":"Any attempt to argue in favor of deceptive practices is bound to meet with at least initial resistance. In the context of health care activities, where what goes on is often quite literally a matter of life and death, deceptive practices would seem to be totally objectionable. But with a little reflection, we might be led to alter our generally negative attitude toward using deceptive techniques in medical experimentation. One of the aims of this essay is to engage the reader in this sort of reflection. In what follows, I shall argue that deception, when properly understood, can justifiably be used in research involving human subjects even where informed consent is not obtained. The case for deception will be presented in two phases. In the first section, I will attempt an analysis of the concept of deception itself, with a view to showing the many and diverse forms which deceptive practices may take. The argument there is designed to show that deception can be understood as a morally neutral strategy. I maintain that this is the sense of the term which is needed to establish a moral justification for the use of deception in human experimentation. In the second section, I shall use this sense of the term in presenting an argument for deceiving human subjects in certain circumstances. If my arguments succeed, I hope to have taken some of the edge off our general reticence to approve of deceptive research techniques which could result in monumental gains in medicine for modern man.","PeriodicalId":82314,"journal":{"name":"Philosophy in context","volume":"14 1","pages":"51-9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1984-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71071500","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In any case, the exercise is at first, necessarily, the practical activity of only a single individual, the analyst (or, in the still rare case of a joint effort, the analysts). There are, of course, familiar ways of multiplying this activity of practical reasoning: notably, by delivering a more or less formal lecture about it, or by writing about it. The original analyst's listeners and/or readers will presumably never exactly repeat his or her original activity; they may, in their own thinking, add to it, probably more often reconstruct a partly inaccurate and less detailed version of it, and sometimes react to it in such a way as to produce a very different analytic outcome. This is what all of us expect, optimally, when we publicly engage in the activity of philosophizing, whether as practical philosophers or in some purely theoretical area of the discipline. In this admittedly minimal sense the much-discussed union of theory and practice, said to be so difficult to attain, is constantly being achieved — if we take seriously A l thusser's idea of theoretical practice. It is widely believed, however, that the practical philosopher is by definition committed to more ambitious expectations if he or she is to be able validly to claim success. In short, the practical philosopher is ordinarily expected to want to exert some effect — to have an influence or an impact, as we say — on the social world. In Western thought, this expectation goes back at least as far as Plato's advocacy of philosopher-kings in the Republic. It is true, as we all know, that Plato's own attempt at influencing government poHcy through his pupil in Syracuse was, let us say, counterproductive, but it is also true that he was working under very imperfect conditions there. A t any rate, it is possible to dist inguish, as commentators frequently have done, between the practical effects of the","PeriodicalId":82314,"journal":{"name":"Philosophy in context","volume":"13 1","pages":"31-44"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1983-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.5840/PHILCONTEXT1983134","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71070914","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
