Abstract

In his Theory of Recognition, Honneth states that it is the interaction between human beings that determines their constitution, being recognition, the fundamental element for said constitution in three spheres: love, law and solidarity. Pellegrino identifies that medicine is a moral enterprise, built on certain beliefs of good and bad, and presents a characterization of the medical act consisting of three elements: the fact of illness, the act of profession and the act of medicine. This article will evaluate the ethical implications of the medical act, within the framework of Honneth's Theory of Recognition and the tripartite model of the doctor-patient relationship proposed by Pellegrino.
