| Description: |
Contemporary medicine is a rich source of controversies and examples that raise important issues in philosophy of science, philosophy of biology, and metaphysics. This volume presents a collection of essays in the philosophy of medicine. It also ties medicine to contemporary issues in philosophy of science and metaphysics. |
| Synopsis: |
Medicine raises numerous philosophical issues. This volume approaches the philosophy of medicine from the broad naturalist perspective. This holds that philosophy must be continuous with, constrained by, and relevant to empirical results of the natural and social sciences. The upshot is a unique volume that ties medicine to contemporary issues in philosophy of science and metaphysics. |
