Description

Explore one of the most controversial contemporary debates in medical philosophy with this Routledge publication. This book examines the fundamental clash between naturalist and normativist views regarding the concept of health. While naturalists suggest that health is an objective and value-free concept, normativists argue that health is inherently contextual and value-laden. Understanding these perspectives is essential for grasping the complexities of modern medical discourse. This text addresses the disputes arising from the claims of health, disease, and disability activists, as well as the impact on public policy. By analyzing the tension between human biology and social norms, this work provides a deep look into how we define wellness and dysfunction in a modern society. It is a necessary resource for those studying the philosophical foundations of medicine and the social implications of health definitions.
