      ab: In this paper it will be argued that Beauchamp and Childress' principle-based approach to bioethics has strongly pragmatic features. Drawing on the writings of William James. I first develop an understanding of methodological pragmatism as a method of justification. On the basis of Beauchamp's and Childress' most recent proposals concerning moral justification in the filth edition of their Principles of Biomedical Ethics (2001). I then discuss different aspects that the principle-based approach and methodological pragmatism have in common.
