Medicine, Health and Being Human

Bag om Medicine, Health and Being Human

This book explores how the medical has defined us: that is, the ways in which perspectives of medicine and health have affected understandings of what it means to be human. With chapters that span from the early modern period to the contemporary world, and are drawn from a range of disciplines and around the world, it holds that historical and cultural influences have brought about an understanding of humanity in which the medical is ingrained, sometimes unconsciously, usually as a mode of legitimisation. This volume is a valuable contribution for those interested in the medical humanities, history of medicine, history of ideas and the social approaches to health and illness.
