Description

This Routledge academic text explores the philosophical and theoretical foundations of health and healthcare through the lens of critical realism. Grounded in Roy Bhaskar's basic and dialectical critical realism, the volume integrates Jurgen Habermas's critical theory to provide an ontologically and epistemologically rigorous framework for examining social determinants of health. The book addresses how social factors shape health and healthcare systems in contemporary society, offering scholars and researchers a comprehensive comparative sociology approach to understanding the complex relationships between societal structures and health outcomes in the twenty-first century. Ideal for postgraduate students, academics, and professionals engaged with sociology, health policy, and social science research.
