The chapter ETHICS is written in Dutch. This chapter originates from the time when the site was in Dutch only. Remarks from philosophy students made me decide to keep this chapter here in the English site. Apologies to the only-English (or better the non-Dutch) speaking readers of this site.

DrWillem has a longstanding interest in philosophy, ethics in particular. He became even more aware of this when he started practicing medicine.

This section of his site is dedicated to ethics. Some pages are in Dutch. All of his opinion pages are in English. Of course here DrWillem expresses his own opinion. Even if you don't agree (something philosophers like) than that doesn't mean he is wrong, even is he is the only one with this opinion. DrWillem is more than happy to hear your arguments against his opinion.

The pages deal with a bird's eye view over philosophical ethics. Various ways of looking at ethics are briefly discussed. The texts give a reasonable idea of what it is all about. There is no need to know anything about ethics, just to be curious.

Dit zijn de enige pagina's in het Nederlands. Ze gaan over een algemene inleiding in de verschillende aspecten van wijsgerige ethiek en geven een goed idee van waar het over gaat. Voorkennis is niet vereist, alleen nieuwsgierigheid.

In this section DrWillem gives his ideas about ethics in medicine, that of children (paediatrics) in particular.

Do not expect the whole of medical ethics to be discussed. There are many books that do a better job. Here you can just find DrWillem's ideas as they have found to be relevant for his practice.

A recent inavsion of this site by Trojan horses made it necessary to completely review all the pages. Therefore these will re-appear one by one over time

In FORUM DrWillem shows you the essays he has written about several subjects in ethics. Some are about ethics in general, others about specific subjects in ethics. Your opinion will be highly appreciated, but it will not be possible to display this here on the site (DrWillem just lacks the time to do all that).
