Doctors and Rules is a unique and immensely scholarly book. It
draws on material which has informed our civilization, including
many of the social sciences-history, sociology, and psychology, as
well as law. The author accesses the current importance of the
Hippocratic tradition within medicine, and puts forward various
models of its practice. He seeks to expose the often inarticulated
foundation of contemporary debates about the law, medicine, and
health, and to question some common assumptions of the functionsand
structures of social and legal order. The book challenges the idea
that legal rules should be respected merely because they exist and
because they play a part in centralizing the organization of
society. It rejects the notion that the courts always, or even
often, offer useful mechanisms for defining and settling disputes.
On the contrary, the author sees in their formalism many things
which hinder the common cause of humanity. Only a skeptic trained
in law but also deeply concerned by our fate and circumstances
could have produced it. It also contributes both to the sociology
of law and the sociology of medicine. Out of a reassertion of old
ways, this book presents a new blueprint for future professional
conduct. It is rich in questions and ideas for researchers,
teachers, and professionals in the fields of law, medical
sociology, and medicine and generally for those concerned with the
place of professional conduct.
