| Description: |
This text offers a concise explanation of how philosophical concepts underpin much medical activity, and how being aware of this can improve everyday practice. It is not a basic introduction to philosophy, but restricts itself to those aspects that have a direct impact on medical professionals. |
| Synopsis: |
This book is an introduction to the philosophical questions which inevitably arise in medical practice and in the conceptions of human life which inform medical theory. It brings these questions to the attention of medical practitioners of patients and of everyone interested in medicine's gaze upon the modern human condition. The questions range from the reliability and applicability of medical knowledge through the roles of ethics aesthetics and spirituality to the way in which our experience of the world is dominated by our bodily form and nature - be that experience a normal or a pathological one. Philosophy for Medicine provides a clear and concise explanation of how philosophical concepts underpin much medical activity and shows how being aware of them can improve everyday practice. It helps readers be aware of assumptions they make and to challenge them where appropriate. The book tackles head-on the question of the relevance of philosophy for medicine and demonstrates it is more than relevant - it is the very basis of medical practice. |
