From the castigation and stigmatization of victims of AIDS to our
celebration of diet, exercise and fitness, the moral categorization
of health and disease reflects contemporary notions that disease
results from moral failure and that health is the representation of
moral triumph. Ranging across academic disciplines and historical
time periods, the essays in Morality and Health offer a compelling
assessment of the powerful role of moral systems for judging the
complex questions of risk and responsibility for disease, the
experience of illness, and social and cultural responses to those
who are sick. Contributors include Keith Thomas, Charles Rosenberg,
Richard Shweder, Arthur Kleinman, David Mechanic, Nancy Tomes and
Linda Gordon.
