The Prologue describes the general context and the principles of bioethics, the analytic method and Continental Philosophy; the approach followed here is distinguished from analytical and continental philosophies. The presentation of the analytical method follows.The Introduction describes the epistemological context and defines the concepts of consent, information and knowledge, issues related to education, culture and science, and the distinction between consensus and consent and between science and episteme.The first part, titled "Analytical Method and Consent", deals with the theoretical background of the analytical model presented. Specifically, the introductory chapter analyzes the concepts of empiricism and relativism. It establishes an ethical approach to ethics and makes the corresponding working hypotheses which, along with the prohibitive principles set forth, form the basis for the development of the next chapters. Finally, the analytical method is critically examined, and a specific approach is proposed. The second chapter of the first part analyzes the consent through the presentation of its analytical model. All the analytical poles of the informed consent are listed, and then the meaning deemed more appropriate is proposed. In the third chapter, the contribution of each distinct moral system to the model of consent as presented here, as well as its contribution to the connection of mathematics and morality, are developed briefly. The inability to be authentically connected to mathematics is examined, and so it becomes more obvious to see how the approach followed in this thesis is more fertile to this parameter, namely the construction of a mathematical model of consent.The second part, titled "The Analytical Model of Consent in Case Studies," examines the applicability of the consent model developed in the second chapter. Specifically, the fourth chapter discusses the issue of genetically modified food, but also consent on their consumption, as well as the problem of eating meat, both from an ecological point of view (environmental impact) and from the point of view of rights of the animals themselves. Consequently, there are concrete conclusions about the need for consumer education. In the fifth chapter, the cases of special and charismatic education are examined and the possibility and the kind of consent that these two groups of pupils can or should provide is examined. Both groups have inherent (the group with autistic spectrum with concomitant mental retardation) or environmental (the charismatic group) restrictions preventing fully informed consent about the type of education they are provided with. In the sixth chapter we are dealing with issues of consent on exposure to different cultures, as is the case in refugee inflows, but also in group-resistance actions, as might be the case in specific cases of terrorism. In terms of consensus capacity, both social reception groups and refugee flows that filter these groups are assessed. In terrorism, terrorists themselves often have a peculiar to their state form of consent, which is also promoted by their environment. Finally, in the seventh chapter, issues of information and consensus on personal data on the Internet are examined on the basis of data management of the genome. The case of Ancestry is being studied, and the scandal that broke out due to some specific formulation in Terms of Use that left room for commercial exploitation of the genetic data of users of the company's services, with many implications for the kind of consensus given by the users of the service.The Conclusions attempt to assess the overall success of the model in the individual cases examined. The value of the analytic method in ethics is confirmed and the need for special educational policies is underlined.
