Description

What is illness? Is it a physiological dysfunction, a social label, or a way of experiencing the world? Havi Carel explores these profound questions by weaving together her personal story of illness with philosophical insights and reflections from her work as a philosopher. This remarkable book examines how the physical, social, and emotional worlds of a person change when they become ill, and asks whether well-being can exist within illness. Carel's fresh approach challenges uncomfortable questions about how healthcare professionals and society view the ill, offering readers a thought-provoking perspective that bridges personal narrative with academic philosophy. Published by Routledge, this work spans anthropology, sociology, and medical philosophy, making it essential reading for anyone interested in understanding illness beyond conventional medical frameworks.
