Description

This comprehensive volume from North Holland's Handbook of the Philosophy of Science series explores fundamental conceptual, epistemological and methodological issues arising from medical science and practice. The collection examines how key meta-scientific concepts including discovery, reduction, theories, models, causal inference and scientific realism apply specifically to medicine. Alongside these broader frameworks, the volume addresses concepts central to medical practice itself, such as diagnosis, health, disease and brain death. Evidence is explored at multiple levels, from the social mechanisms that guide evidence-based medicine to the philosophical foundations underpinning how medical professionals evaluate and apply research findings. This detailed treatment bridges pure philosophy of science with practical medical epistemology, making it essential reading for philosophers, medical practitioners and researchers seeking deeper understanding of how medical knowledge is formed and justified.
