Description

Explore the social determinants of health through a rigorous theoretical lens. Sociology, Health and the Fractured Society provides a philosophical framework to examine how social structures influence health care and wellness in the twenty-first century. This volume is part of the Routledge Studies in Critical Realism and offers a deep dive into the nature of contemporary health systems. The text uses an ontologically and epistemologically grounded approach to deliver a comparative sociology of modern health care. By applying the basic and dialectical critical realism of Roy Bhaskar alongside the critical theory of Jurgen Habermas, the book addresses the complex connections between society and medical outcomes. It is an essential resource for students and researchers looking for a structured way to analyze the social drivers behind health and disease in a fractured world.
