Description
The purpose of this chapter is to determine if FTD does cause a breakdown in the moral order of interaction, and if so, examine how that occurs procedurally through others’ actions in relation to the patients. Before attempting this, it will be necessary to discuss the assumptions for how morality will be expected to appear in the data and the limits and strengths of the analysis.
