Description

Explore the deep connection between individual health and social structures with The Social Pathologies of Contemporary Civilization. Published by Routledge as part of the Classical and Contemporary Social Theory series, this book provides a multi-disciplinary look at how modern malaises, diseases, and psychosomatic syndromes relate to the cultural pathologies of the social body. Instead of focusing solely on individual patients, this work examines how the social bodies politic are affected by current societal trends. It offers a necessary critique of the hegemony found in reductive biomedical and individual-psychologistic perspectives. Readers will find a deep analysis of how contemporary illnesses are not just biological events, but are tied to the way our modern civilization functions. This text is an essential resource for students and professionals in anthropology and sociology. It challenges standard medical viewpoints by looking at the broader social context of health and sickness. This used book is in good condition, making it a practical choice for academic study and social theory research.
