We are honored to have Professor Jonathan D. Moreno as a keynote speaker at “Bioethics, Ai Politics, and a New World Order” 2025 School Online, December 15-20, 2025

In my new book Absolutely Essential, I explore the field of bioethics as both a creature and a key element of the post–World War II rules-based order. According to this order, international relations are to be organized according to principles of open markets, liberal democracy, and multilateral organizations. In the book I raise key questions about the future of bioethics in a changed world order, while also theorizing new ways to think about bioethics after the COVID-19 pandemic and the reordering of global alliances.
