Abstract:
Virtue ethics and normative ethics are corresponding ethical concepts, and their collision and integration promote the development of ethical system. On the issue of doctor-patient relationship, from virtue to norm is the objective requirement of social transformation and development, and is also the inevitable choice to resolve doctor-patient conflicts and reshape doctor-patient relationships. In the new era, the construction of doctor-patient relationship faces ethical dilemma such as one-sided emphasis on doctors’ virtue cultivation, unclear ethical responsibilities between doctors and patients, and lack of trust and tolerance between doctors and patients. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the institutionalization of doctor ethics, clarify the ethical responsibilities of both doctors and patients, optimize the social ethical ecological environment, so as to realize the ethical reconstruction of doctor-patient relationship from virtue to norm.
