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, from a first-order perspective. Emphasizing a bottom-up epistemological approach, the book remains closely aligned with clinical and community medicine. Rather than reviewing existing literature or framing debates, it develops its unique philosophical viewpoint, occasionally referencing relevant authors to support its arguments.
