Existential questions relating to mortality are bound to arise sooner or later during the course of the study. For the sake of humanized clinical practice, these questions must be confronted. In response to a request by a student association, an accompanying curriculum with active student's contribution through encounters with death in anatomy and clinical situations was created in Lausanne. Students will benefit from this new program throughout their curriculum. This program is the first of its kind in Switzerland

I argue that the meaning Levinas gives to the term « face » is a central aspect related to this issue. The face is in this French philosopher's view an ambiguous phenomenon, an enigma, that bears high ethical significance : beyond its physical appearance, the face of the other escapes every affort at representation, it indicates the way in which the representation of the other exceeds any idea of the other in me, and it is precisely this irreducibility of alterity that lights up its ethical meaning. In Levinas' view, to be oneself is to be for the other, and the otherness of the other manifests itself in the face-to-face encounter. Accordingly, responsibility is the response to the injunction, the interpellation, of the other's face, preceding the claim of justice, and humaneness is conceived as entangled in the other's face. Against this background, I suggest that Levinas' philosophical insight constitutes a turning point from a traditional to a new conception of responsibility that may bear great significance to a renewed understanding of an hermeneutics and an ethics of care

Cette contribution cherche à relever ce défi en puisant aux ressources anthropologiques, épistémologiques et éthiques des travaux de Viktor von Weizsäcker, de Georges Canguilhem, de Paul Ricœur et d’Emmanuel Lévinas, dont les recherches ont ouvert, dès le milieu du XXe siècle, la voie d’une anthropologie clinique qui pose les jalons d’une éthique de responsabilité propre à l’exercice de la médecine. À la lumière de ces recherches, où médecine et philosophie se nourrissent mutuellement, cette étude propose une éthique du soin qui contribue à maintenir vivants les liens unissant éthique et médecine.

On this basis, the project "Organ transplantation between the rhetoric of the gift and a biomedical view of the body" studies the logics at stake in the organ donation decision-making process. Results highlight many tensions within practices and public discourses in the field of organ donation and transplantation and suggest lines of inquiry for future adjustments.

Comment sortir de sa discipline ? Comment surmonter la difficulté, toujours répétée, de s’introduire dans la forteresse d’un espace de connaissance voisin avec l’humilité nécessaire pour éviter des simplifications et des appropriations grossières ? A l’interdisciplinarité traditionnelle, et à ses limites maintes fois observées, l’ouvrage oppose la voie de l’indisciplinarité, s’agissant d’inventer et de pratiquer une certaine forme de transgression disciplinaire. La transgression demande une forme de renoncement aux explications stéréotypées propres à chaque discipline. L’ouvrage présente dès lors une démarche de recherche nouvelle par une manière de perception partagée en l’illustrant par des objets communs aux différentes (in)disciplines, qu’’il s’agisse du phénomène placebo, de l’effet symétrie ou du langage scientifique.
Cette réflexion est l’œuvre du Groupe π, un collectif d’enseignants-chercheurs de l’Université de Lausanne, travaillant dans des disciplines diverses : droit, économie, éthique, linguistique, mathématiques, médecine, philosophie et psychophysiologie. Les auteurs de l’ouvrage sont Lazare Benaroyo, Anne-Claude Berthoud, Jacques Diezi, Gilles Merminod, Alain Papaux, Françoise Schenk, Jean-Claude Usunier et Henri Volken.
