Savoir dire adieu. Savoir accueillir. Éthique et théorie des jeux

French philosophers of ethics have a regrettable tendency to refer to Kantian notions and categories in medical ethics (the person, personality, autonomy, dignity, responsibility), whereas they neglect the ethical value of the Game Theory and of Utilitarianism, which they mistake for bargaining on the market. Here, I would like to take the opposite view of this bias, which may be found even in the official decisions of the French Comité consultatif national d'éthique and to uphold the as yet paradoxical thesis that intimacy values are better defended by Harsanyi's Utilitarianism, for instance, than by a Kant-inspired personalism, that is less ethics than morals.
