Christian Perspective of the Nature of Spirituality and Ethics in Contrast to Postmodern Relativism Perspective in Healthcare
Many individuals think that ethics involves making choices related to doing the right thing and avoiding wrong. The decision-making process mainly entails a shared set of canons, including justice, autonomy, and beneficence in bioethics. Christianity’s bioethics perspective relates to the Ten Commandments, the Golden rule, and the Great Commandment of love. These Christian perspectives work concurrently to avoid adverse consequences as well as presumes the duty and obligation for an ethical position in terms of the ramifications and principles that influence the final choice. Christian spirituality suggests a commitment to God, revealed through Jesus Christ, as the end and source of love. In that vein, Christians assume responsibility for others, themselves, and the world, including taking care of patients (Gula, 2000). Therefore, the Christianity perspective shapes the way a believer views handles other human beings since it shapes how they see everything and informs them how to integrate their life’s fragments into a meaningful whole. Christian spirituality prompts its adherents to have compassions for the sick and show mercy to those in pan and suffering, thus informing patient management within health care environments.
On the other hand, believers in the postmodern relativism perspective embrace the argument that factual issues should be attributed to invention rather than discovery. Truth does not exist within postmodern relativism. Its proponents believe that a given act could be termed as permissible or wrong by considering the context and factors at hand. For instance, abortion or murder could be viewed as morally right or wrong in certain circumstances and deemed feasible to other contexts. That said, postmodernism proponents consider human beings as equal to other animals or rather living things. In that vein, human beings should be handled just the same way other living things are handled (Forghani, Keshtiaray, & Yousefy, 2015). Therefore, it is increasingly challenging to apply postmodern relativism within healthcare practice, given its questionable principles.
Scientism Definition and Arguments Against It
Scientism is defined as an “over-enthusiastic and uncritically deferential attitude towards science, an inability to see or an unwillingness to acknowledge its fallibility, its limitations, and its potential dangers” (Hietanen et al., 2020). Most descriptions of scientism typically consider this definition, in one approach or the other, as exceeding the appropriate scientific limits. Therefore, scientism is mainly viewed as amounting to an unjustified and unwarranted belief in natural sciences in specific ways.
The first objection to scientism is centered on the concept’s false or dilemma. This argument is anchored on the objection that scientific evidence is relying on non-scientific grounds. For example, it is suggested that some fundamental metaphysical assumptions, including the presupposition of other minds or external world existence, are essential for science. Additionally, particular human being abilities – including memory, inference, introspection, and senses – are mostly viewed to be associated with non-scientific grounds of science itself. This creates that dilemma that the scientism proponent is forced to accept or reject non-scientific belief sources, including memory and senses. The other significant global criticism noted against scientism is that the concept is self-referentially self-regulating or incoherent. The argument’s rough idea is that as per scientism, one could rationally believe or accept solely those theories and claims that are scientifically formulated. Considering that the scientism proponent is geared towards adhering to his principles, it follows that scientism should be scientifically justified. The scientism critics noted that such rationalization could be barely traced; even more vitally, it is infeasible to generate an original scientific concept for scientism (Hietanen et al., 2020). In that way, scientism is increasingly unable to attain its standards.
Personal Perspectives and Worldview on Worldview Concepts
What is Ultimate Reality?
In my research on ultimate reality, I concluded that it constitutes the strategic logos comprising a concealed universal life-system that empowered life forms to embrace the social and biological complexities to levels that could hardly be forecasted by hypothetical individuals familiar solely with the universe’s physical forces. Many scientists have argued that human society results from strategic logos emergence rather than “cosmic self-organization,” Human society results from strategic logos emergence. The logos imply a physical structure, including the “biosphere,” as certain physicists claim, but instead a social network comprising concealed yet super-powerful forces that created human society and life’s complexities and order. In that vein, I view the ultimate reality as the strategic logos or instead of the ultimate truth within the human community and life. Therefore, the ultimate reality is the holistic system that explains other structures, truths, and procedures within life. There could be nothing beyond the strategic logos. However, the logos consist of a mate...
