Written by a leading proponent of the philosophy and ethics of
healthcare, this volume is filled with thought-provoking and
frequently controversial ideas and arguments. Accessibly written,
it provides readers with a timely contribution to the current
literature on medical ethics, in which the concept of subjectivity
is a key issue characterizing current medical humanities. Examining
the critical assumption that scientifically-demonstrable facts will
remove all uncertainty, the author argues that ethical dimensions
of clinical practice do not always arise from undisputed facts, but
that they are sometimes to be found at the level of the
determinations of the facts themselves. Firmly placing the patient
back on centre stage, without underestimating the crucial role
which science plays in modern medicine, this volume is an excellent
account of ethics and science in healthcare and their proper place
in assessing and meeting people's health needs.
