Several conjectures on the theme of AIDS

Ivan Koprek ; Filozofski fakultet Družbe Isusove u Zagrebu, Zagreb, Hrvatska

Sažetak

Through a series of philosophical conjectures, (including an attempt to link Marxism and psychoanalysis), the author analyzes the cultural and scientific background of the disease AIDS, noting that this disease has drawn fear into current ethical discourse but also a cynical call to a revival of chastity, morality and restraint.
According to the author, it is incorrect to reduce morality to the emotional level and a merely instrumental function. A constructive approach when confronted with the fact and danger of AIDS is glimpsed in the establishment of a normative ethic of chastity, responsibility and solidarity. The author proposes that a meaningful answer be found to the question of what should be done reagarding AIDS. The meaning of that which accompanies the solution must be love.
