In our scientific and cultural context, clinical ethics and organizational ethics play a crucial role in the field of nursing care, but they need a so-called meta-ethics whose aim is to verify and to justify their use of concepts and procedures. Such a meta-ethics allows a fundamental competence—empathy, in a very specific sense—to appear, as well as a meta-principle that regulates the application of classical biomedical principles.
