Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Focusing on a bottom-up perspective, the book explores the philosophy of medicine through the lens of clinical practice and epidemiology, critiquing the search for overarching generalities that often alienates philosophical discourse from medical science. Drawing on Ludwig Wittgenstein's ideas, particularly the concept of family resemblances, it advocates for a philosophy deeply connected to real-world medical contexts, emphasizing practical engagement over abstract theorizing. The author encourages readers to observe rather than merely contemplate, aligning philosophy closely with healthcare.
