We attempt to redefine bioethics epistemologically and politically, taking into account the metaphysical transformations we are witnessing in the present day. In this process of redefinition, we believe that it is necessary to research the conditions that led to what is now, and in this way plan the guidelines for the future. To this end, we propose a historical review of the contextual conditions in which bioethics emerged as a disciplinary field of research and transformation of socio-historical realities. In this becoming, we first see the epistemological and institutional disputes of bioethics at its origin, and the way in which bioethics is embedded in the processes of ecological awareness and the advent of the Capitalocene. It aims to replace ethics with bioethics, based on the precautionary principle, the heuristics of fear, and a post-normal science removed from power and at the service of the community.
