Abstract
In this paper we see the personality of man through his comprehension as a moral entity. An entity that emerges, thinks morally
and/or behaves morally, inseparable from the society in which he lives as a moral being, and by its moral thinking and/or behaviour
further defines the morals of the whole society. Accordingly, we present (post)modern society as a society of tolerance of value
ambiguity. In that kind of society we perceive medical situation as moral situation and define the role of medical ethics in the field of
biomedicine. In that kind of society politics is perceived as one of the social spheres where different varieties of systems of values of
individuals or groups are publicly embraced, touched, or terribly unhappily pursued... all in the name of understanding man and his
world. In order to prevent the victory of Thanatos, who prevails in the contemporary concept of politics and in postmodern global
society, we suggest implementing applied bioethics as a form of metapolitics as an answer. We explain the idea of bioethics and suggest
bioethical education as the operationalisation of metapolitics through bioethics as orientation knowledge, in both medicine and politics.
