Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

“This is an extraordinarily thoughtful and insightful analysis of major contemporary problems dealing with the physician-patient relationship and the attitudes of society toward health, illness, and death. I know of no work that attempts to do what Gadamer does here. The book will serve educators in the humanities—especially those in philosophy, psychology, and sociology—as well as many persons in the health professions. I would be pleased if its message were absorbed by every student and practitioner of medicine.”—Victor Vaughan, M.D., Stanford University School of Medicine

Synopsis:

The book brings together thirteen essays presented to medical and psychiatric societies, mainly during the 1970’s and 1980’s. In these essays, Gadamer justifies the reasons for a philosophical interest in health and medicine, and a corresponding need for health practitioners to enter into a dialogue with philosophy.
