Owen Dempsey

Anticipation and Medicine (eBook, PDF)

A Critical Analysis of the Science, Praxis and Perversion of Evidence Based Healthcare

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book critiques the way key normative conceptions of science in advanced capitalism both incite, and limit possibilities for, healthcare and render compassion itself prey to ideology. The author examines the concepts of health, knowing through science, and human subjectivity in relation to philosophical and psychoanalytic ideas.
