Abstract: This talk discusses a connection between the philosophical literatures in bioethics and philosophy of science. The main point of the talk is that these two literatures can benefit from each other, which I demonstrate by showing how the philosophy of understanding can inform how we think about informed consent, and conversely. Specifically, I argue that possession of objectual understanding is one good-making feature of informed consent.
