Analytic Philosophy of Clinical and Community Medicine

Focusing on the philosophy of medicine, this volume integrates it within the broader context of the philosophy of science. It offers a comprehensive exploration of the entire field of medicine, including psychiatry, while emphasizing a first-order perspective that remains closely aligned with clinical and community practices. Rather than serving as a literature review or a comparative analysis of differing viewpoints, it presents an epistemological approach that develops a distinct philosophical understanding of medicine.
