It is now accepted that many of the determinants of health and
health care are social. This volume offers a philosophical and
theoretical frame within which the nature and extent of this might
be optimally examined. The analysis is rooted in Roy Bhaskar's
basic and dialectical critical realism, although it draws also on
the critical theory of Jurgen Habermas. It purports to provide an
ontologically and epistemologically grounded comparative sociology
of contemporary health and health care in the twenty-first century.
Carrying a fourfold agenda, the volume sets out a dialectical
critical realist frame for a comparative sociology of health and
health care; it clarifies sociology's potential and limitations; it
suggests a research programme and a series of questions for
investigation; and it offers an argument for an action sociology
embedded in a dialectical theory of transformative action. This
volume will be of interest to students and scholars in the areas of
philosophy, sociology and critical realism, as well as those
working in health and social care.
