The Biopolitics of Health Pseudoscience and the Role of Bioethics
I will explore the analytical answers to the following questions:
- What are the characteristics of science, pseudoscience, and anti-science in the realm of health, including clinical medicine, public health, and basic sciences?
- What are the definitions and characteristics of biopolitics, and which definition provides the best conceptual tool to address the role of biopolitics in promoting health disinformation?
- How and why did the religious and political ideologies, powers, and figures promote health pseudoscience (with an emphasis on the experiences of Iran, the United States, China, and Germany)?
- What are the components and structure of a bioethical framework for addressing the problem of politically promoted health pseudoscience?
The outcome of my stay will be a book published by an academic publisher. It will provide a bioethical normative framework to address the politically promoted health pseudoscience.
