Papers presented at a symposium on philosophy and medicine at the
Institute for the Medical Humanities at the University of Texas
Medical Branch in 1974 were published in the inaugural volume of
this series. To help celebrate more than 20 years of extraordinary
success with the series, another symposium was convened in
Galveston in 1995. The convenors asked the participants these
questions: In what ways and to what ends have academic humanists
and medical scientists and practitioners become serious
conversation partners in recent years? How have their dialogues
been shaped by prevailing social views, political philosophies,
academic habits, professional mores, and public pressures? What
have been the key concepts and questions of these dialogues? Have
the dialogues made any appreciable intellectual or social
difference? Have they improved the care of the sick? Authors
respond from a variety of theoretical perspectives in the
humanities. They also articulate conceptions of philosophy of
medicine and bioethics from various practice experiences, and bring
critical attention to aspects of the contemporary health policy.
