Description

This Springer publication offers a critical examination of contemporary medical culture, exploring the meanings, values and social processes embedded within biomedical knowledge and practice. Through detailed case studies, the book investigates how 20th century medicine-spanning education, research, medical knowledge creation, technology development and everyday clinical practice-reflects an industrial-capitalistic worldview. The essays analyse the value systems that permeate modern biomedicine, providing readers with insight into how cultural and economic frameworks shape medical institutions, professional training and patient care. Ideal for academics, healthcare practitioners and students seeking to understand the philosophical and sociological foundations of contemporary medicine.
