Casuistry: A Complement to Principle Ethics and a Foundation for Ethical Decisions
Freeman, Stephen J.; Francis, Perry C.
Counseling and Values, v50 n2 p142 Jan 2006
Ethical dilemmas within any system are created when moral/ethical principles, rules, or guidelines can be cited for opposing actions with neither side presenting the obvious, right course to follow. This condition exposes the intricate interrelationship between abstract moral/ethical principles and the description and evaluation of real-life situations. What is called for in addressing ethical dilemmas is a process that acknowledges this interrelationship and weaves these factors into a prudent solution. This article describes such a process known as casuistry.
