Kieran Keohane

The Social Pathologies of Contemporary Civilization (eBook, ePUB)

Redaktion: Petersen, Anders

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Rejecting a reductive, biomedical and individualistic diagnosis of contemporary problems of health and well-being, this book contends that many such problems are to be understood in the light of radical changes in social structures and institutions, extending to deep crises in our civilization as a whole. Rather than considering such conditions in isolation - both from one another and from broader contexts - this volume argues that health and well-being are not just located at the level of the individual body, the integral human person, or even collective social bodies; rather, they encompass the health of humanity as a whole and our relationship with Nature.
