From methodological transdisciplinarity to philosophical specificity The example of a qualitative study on end of life care and the Claeys-Leonetti law

This article questions the specificity of applied philosophy on the basis of bioethicist Ghislaine Cleret de Langavant’s complex method and through its use in a study on end-of-life care and the Claeys-Leonetti law. The aim is to show that methodological transdisciplinarity in ethics does not prevent us from respecting actual philosophical requirements such as the formulation of a problem and the systemic understanding of knowledge.
