Abstract

This work concerns with a philosophical reflection that emphasizes the role of bioethics, like a question on man. In this sense, it calls for the relationship between Bioethics and Philosophy. It argues that Philosophy has not given an answer to this greatest questions, leaving its job to the positive sciences which cannot answer the questions: "What thing is man?" In this sense. The author assures that this question could be only answered on "the thought to be", if the question on the being is taken seriously. It is also criticism to contemporary "principlism" which cannot answer the moral being of man. As he asphyxiated by the pragmatic, he lacks true Anthropology that articulates man un his origin, end and destiny.
