- W81544142 abstract "The concept of autonomy has acquired paramount status in English medical law, medicalethics and philosophy. Using the methodology of grounded theory, and three iterativecycles of enquiry of the medical law reports and the literature, this thesis investigateshow and why judges use and interpret autonomy in ethically-contentious medical lawcases. Each cycle of enquiry reveals its internal limitations, prompting furtherengagement with the data in order to overcome those limitations and deepen the level ofunderstanding and explanation.The first cycle of empirical enquiry describes variation in judicial usage of the autonomyconcept in the law reports but gives way to a second cycle of hermeneutical enquiry inorder to advance understanding of what judges mean in their use of it. Concurrentanalysis of the literature on autonomy reveals a progressive development from a partialview of autonomy as body and mind towards an emerging holistic concept as the identityand capability of the person. The failure of hermeneutical enquiry to explain judicialvariations in meaning and interpretation leads to a third cycle of enquiry based on criticalrealist analysis, examining the underlying social structures and traditions that mayinfluence judicial variations in usage. Using MacIntyre’s concept of tradition, andBrandom’s tools of inferential analysis, the thesis explores whether the law reportsreveal the influence on judicial usage of traditions of legal rationality – common law,statute law, and European human rights law – and whether these legal traditions areinfluenced by wider traditions of moral and political order.The emergent theory of the research, developed through the iterative cycles of enquiry ofthe data is that judges have developed a community of practice which has over timeelaborated a sophisticated ethical language of autonomy to mediate the influence ofdifferent legal traditions and, in so doing, has constituted a new practice of medicaljurisprudence." @default.
