Meaning and Medicine
Routledge (Verlag)
978-0-415-91915-9 (ISBN)
A chief aim of this resource is to rekindle interest in seeing health care not solely as a set of practices so problematic as to require ethical analysis by philosophers and other scholars, but as a field whose scrutiny is richly rewarding for the traditional concerns of philosophy.
