AbstractA dominant characteristic of critical-care medicine today is the emergence of powerful institutions functioning within a framework of a noncoherent set of values and philosophical perspectives. Anyone who would assign a significant role to the philosophy of medicine for today's era must not simply account for the quandaries of critical-care medicine, but also attend to the antecedent values, conflicts, and absurdities that form the ethical issues, as well as the models of ethical response (market ethos, professional ethos, etc.) that indicate which moral principles might be relevant. These considerations form the new agenda for the philosophy of critical-care medicine. This broad philosophical task is an urgent one, for critical-care medicine is rapidly molding the moral dimensions of all of medicine.
