Public health is a particular area of medical practice that raises
a series of philosophical issues that require urgent discussion.
The philosophy of public health includes metaphysical questions
such as, what do we mean by 'public' in public health? How ought we
to conceptualise the idea of 'populations'? Are they merely
aggregations of individuals? It also includes epistemological
questions such as, what methods are most appropriate for thinking
about public health? How do empirical and normative issues relate
to each other? Controversial ethical, political and social issues,
including those relating to vaccinations, the threat of pandemics
and possible restrictions to individual liberties, public health
research, screening and obesity policy should also be considered.
This volume includes a diverse set of papers exploring a number of
the most important theoretical and practical issues that arise
across the whole field of the philosophy of public health.
