Classification, Disease and Evidence: New Essays in the Philosophy of Medicine by Philippe Huneman
English | 14 Dec. 2014 | ISBN: 9401788863 | 227 Pages | PDF | 2 MB

This anthology of essays presents a sample of studies from recent philosophy of medicine addressing issues which attempt to answer very general (interdependent) questions: (a) what is a disease and what is health? (b) How do we (causally) explain diseases? © And how do we distinguish diseases, i.e. define classes of diseases and recognize that an instance X of disease belongs to a given class B? (d) How do we assess and choose cure/ therapy?
