进化医学中的概念和伦理挑战

English | 2023 | ISBN: 303145765X | 357 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 2 MB

This book analyses the concept of disease, as defined in the context of evolutionary medicine. Upon introducing the reader to evolutionary medicine in its current form and describing its approach to disease instances, the book leverages thoughts and instruments of knowledge of epistemology, social sciences, and ethics to answer the question: “How can we build a timely and appropriate concept of disease?” At first, it looks at the social concerns of medicalization, for example focusing on the suffering of people who have not been diagnosed, or whose suffering is not caused by certain elements that falls under the definitions of disease. In turn, it merges different, both conceptual and empirical considerations in one comprehensive analysis, with the aim of fostering a multidisciplinary understanding of the phenomenon of disease. This book also highlights certain kinds of epistemic injustices that are taking place in the healthcare system, as this is currently conceived in post-industrial societies, thus offering a timely contribution to the current debate around social justice in healthcare.


这本书分析了在进化医学背景下定义的疾病概念。在介绍了当前形式的进化医学及其对疾病实例的看法后,该书利用知识论、社会科学和伦理学的思想与工具来回答问题:“我们如何构建一个及时且合适的疾病概念?”首先,它关注医疗化带来的社会关切,例如,专注于那些尚未被诊断的人们的痛苦,或是其痛苦不源于某些可归类为疾病的元素。然后,它将不同的、既有概念性的也有实证性的考虑融合在一起进行综合分析,旨在促进对疾病现象的多学科理解。该书还指出了目前工业后社会中医疗系统中存在的某些形式的知识论不公,并因此在当前关于医疗卫生领域社会正义的讨论中做出了及时贡献。
