Abstract
Such moral questions are obviously not uniquely abstract, but must be applied in the world. What does the metaxological rethinking of the community and goodness imply for discussions in bioethics? Roberto Dell’Oro argues that contemporary bioethics would benefit from a metaxological reappreciation of the goodness of being, and especially the value of givenness.
