Abstract

Abstract: From the perspective of ethics,the most general sense of consent is that the consenting person,based on his own will,in some form of act or omission,gives a positive or negative expression of intention to the request,suggestion or opinion put forward by the consentee.In addition to the general concept of consent,there are concepts at the secondary level,such as express consent,implied consent,hypothetical consent and presumed consent.Some relevant concepts,such as refusal to consent,withdraw of consent and disconsent should also arouse people's attention.The concept of consent at the second level should be specifically understood according to its special situation on the basis of understanding the concept of consent in the general sense.

Key words: consent, politics, philosophy, ethics
