Helmut Lauschke - World - Being a medical Doctor - Humanity

For as far as life in this world is concerned, it is the concepts of justice, respect, righteousness, humanity and charity that are summarized in the word and raised in terms of content and held in this bundling and ethically "stored". Ethics does not know perfection as long as man lives, thinks and works on the planet. Because in the imagined self-perfection there are too many egoisms which, as disruptive factors, block true perfection with the fulfillment of ethical duties and principles.

Human action ultimately happens for the sake of the future, which the perpetrator only comes to mind in the second or third series of thoughts. From there the obligation to the now emanates, which is time-bound and therefore also provisional. The ethics of the preliminary differ from the ethics of the final in that one can speak of a "transitional" or "intermediate ethic" on the intermediate section from "preliminary" to "final".

In the age of modern technology, action communicates with the control and warning center of ethics in terms of meaning, value and its breadth and consequences. Man struggles to adapt against the changing facts of external life in order to bring the "sense of proportion" between "good" and "bad" to the state of his time so that he can put the deed in the light of truth. Man tries his luck in the awareness and knowledge that he is incomplete in terms of ethical requirements and so imperfect in life.

Philosophically it is less the validity than the frugality to keep pace as a person with the gigantic tasks and to cope with them. It is the incompatibility with ethics that makes life more difficult from generation to generation, whether in terms of the value of human life or in the most comprehensive sense of the coexistence of man and nature and further still under the aspect of peace and peacefulness.

The higher the standards of technique and technology and the narrower the social life in modern civilization with its painful notches becomes, the greater and more demanding it is. Too often technology sets inhuman accents, as if ‘ homo faber’ were doing a lot to raise the top floors above the clouds and into the sky.

Mortality is part of human nature, in which the years of life determine the time of death due to the conditions of life with its ups and downs. The time of the last breath is the subject of lamentation, sadness and resignation. The fear of death with the fear of dying lies in the fact that man has not acquired the wisdom necessary to die and feels therefore unprepared and immature for death.

Humans and humanity are in danger of becoming lonely and losing each other. So the longevity of life is at stake with the crash of no return. Life on the planet has a beginning and an end, so that the equilibrium on which the eternal harmony of life is based, which reaches deep into medicine, is maintained.Nothing and no one can fall out of the role of the great life cycle without being punished for it. This is also how ethics see it, which is more closely related to ‘World Reason’ than people believed and expected during their lifetime.

Knowledge is part of the truth, also with regard to the future conditions of man and the world. It is straight-line causal thinking into the future, in which probable and possible consequences are shown and in some cases extrapolated. It is ‘preliminary’ knowledge ( from reality and possibility ) that fits in between the ideal knowledge of ethics and the applied knowledge of practical life.

The difference between health and illness comes from knowledge. The peculiarity of the observation is that the knowledge in focusing on the object does not lose sight of the comparison object in order to maintain the power of the dialectic in relation to being. It is about recognizing the strength of the opposite, because part and opposite determine the whole. Knowledge strives from provisional to final without ever becoming final, because there is no one thing in the cosmic sense that is final and without change.

Whether intent, caution or consideration: The certainty of provisionality carries people further, and if it is to correspond to nature, then downstream, because people are permanently deprived of the strength to swim against the current of truth and its inherent ethics. Man is in doubt about himself when he submits to the duty of responsibility in expanding and deepening ethics. The fear is based on the loss of self-worth and self-renewal.

The problem is balancing in the reorientation, because without it the right way into the future cannot be found and epilepsy spreads along the wrong paths. Man needs the leading hand, just as the adult leads the amazed child into the world and explains things to him and, as he walks on, removes or tries to take away his fear of the world of the unknown. Knowledge alone does not solve the problems of fear. The leading hand is necessary as long as the known is short and the unknown is long.

The fear of violent death comes first in the greatest danger. Death provokes the utmost fear as the compelling response of struggling to save one's life. The feeling of fear is stronger than compassion for the other person with the exception of the life of one's own child. We lift the feeling of fear above our heads and lead it deep into the language of poetry, music and the visual arts. This tour is the individual preparation for overcoming the many hurdles up to the final readiness to walk the path over the last bridge out of temporality and alone. It is the last duty that we have to fulfill in our responsibility to ethics.

The mandatory character of life extends to the basic ethical principle, which must be recognized and affirmed. The extrapolation calls for a higher degree of science than is used in the design of the factory, because what is sufficient for the near is no longer sufficient for the distance in its immeasurability. The certainty of one extrapolation leads to the uncertainty of the other extrapolation with the waiting unfathomable. The prediction from close up may be possible, but such a prediction is not possible into the distance.

The knowledge of the possible is an approach in understanding to gain knowledge. It is the thought attempts from the acceptance of the premise to the final then. This illuminates the principles of morality in reflection on what is initially possible. Their safety is independent of scientific analyzes and their conclusions. This certainty leads in the certification to the certainty of the existence of reason with the will decision going beyond the object. The usefulness of the discovery depends on the nature of the thought processes and their thought experiments.

The ideal sphere comes closest to the truth. The danger lies in ‘science fiction’, in other words in those thought experiments whose results simulate the heuristic function. The general danger is that we know too little to exchange the known for the unknown. This leads to uncertainties and delays when decisions have to be made that the practical implementation in terms of the prognosis will take place late or not at all. Because of the delay, the principles of ethics come into effect too late or no longer.

Humanity has a duty to exist. This duty is essential for the bigger picture. The conditional duty of the individual to exist differs from the principle of unconditionality by and large. It rises the principle that experiments on humans are prohibited. The ethical principle supports the prohibition that neither suffering nor harm may be inflicted on humans in their being and existence.

For the life of mankind as a whole, the absolute inviolability principle applies, which applies only to a limited extent to the individual patient in the case of a malignant disease if palliative treatment is preferred to radical medical measures under which the patient can die.
