Descripción
Svenaeus (health and society, U. of Linkeping, Sweden) offers insights into the philosophical undertones of modern medicine, incorporating Heidegger's phenomenology and Gadamer's hermeneutics to help make sense of a variety of themes in Western medicine. By evaluating the rise of modern medical practice and epistemology, as well as the phenomenology of health and illness, the author proposes a new way of understanding medical concepts such as health and the physician/patient relationship. Ultimately Svenaeus is interested in the encounter between doctor and patient and what that meeting reveals ontologically and epistemologically. Annotation c.
