casuistry  

Definition

  • Casuistry is a case-based method of reasoning used in business ethics, bioethics, and the ethics of various professions. Casuistry typically uses general principles in reasoning analogically from clear-cut cases, called paradigms, to vexing cases. [Source: Encyclopedia of Business Ethics and Society; Casuistry]
