This book is a collection of articles about communication and
ethics in the field of medicine and health care. Common to all the
articles is that they are not directly based on empirical
investigations. The discussions refer to research, but this is
research that has already been carried out and documented in
existing literature. In this sense the articles belong to what is
often called applied philosophy. All the articles address
communicative and ethical challenges in patient interaction on the
basis of assumptions in modern moral philosophy and philosophy of
language. There is a great need for literature that deals more
comprehensively with the themes in this book than many introductory
books do. It is particularly difficult to find suitable reading
material that can be used in teaching at graduate and master
levels. This book is designed to meet this need. It is suitable for
use in all higher-level courses where the aim is to give students a
theoretical understanding of ethical dilemmas and communicative
challenges in health care.
