Full Description
Introduction to Contemporary Philosophy of Medicine explores philosophical approaches to the nature of medicine, ranging from the Analytic Philosophy of Medicine to Feminist and Gender Medicine. Digital, Complementary, and Alternative Medicines are also discussed, with each diverse approach informed by different ontological and epistemological concepts, such as causation, disease, and health, which are introduced and discussed in detail. This is a key guide for students and other healthcare professionals interested in philosophical issues in contemporary medicine.
Contemporary philosophy of medicine is certainly a growing discipline in the 21st century, with substantial literature. But the discipline has no overarching paradigm that reflects consensus. Rather, contemporary philosophy of medicine is diverse, with various approaches not only to the problems facing contemporary medicine, but also how best to address and potentially resolve them. This book explores these concepts and their diverse approaches.
