Bioethics: a worldview based on analytical psychologyWhat we understand as ethics, and what generates the discussion on bioethics, is based on the notion of “right” and “wrong” derived from morality or current codes of conduct. These codes often distort the notion of human principles, which, in theory, precede any moralizing model that denies antinomies and paradoxes in science production. Since analytical psychology is one of the areas of knowledge most dedicated to studying the issue of opposites and ambiguities in the human sphere, we benefit from its premises to propose a reflection on a worldview of bioethics that also considers what is denied, hidden, repressed or even unfairly defended in the name of an idea of science. To support our arguments, in addition to reference authors in the field of bioethics, works by Leonardo Boff, Erich Neumann, Adolf Guggenbühl-Craig, and Carl Gustav Jung are used.
