This book offers a philosophically-based, yet clinically-oriented
perspective on current medical reasoning aiming at 1) identifying
important forms of uncertainty permeating current clinical
reasoning and practice 2) promoting the application of an abductive
methodology in the health context in order to deal with those
clinical uncertainties 3) bridging the gap between biomedical
knowledge, clinical practice, and research and values in both
clinical and philosophical literature. With a clear philosophical
emphasis, the book investigates themes lying at the border between
several disciplines, such as medicine, nursing, logic,
epistemology, and philosophy of science; but also ethics,
epidemiology, and statistics. At the same time, it critically
discusses and compares several professional approaches to clinical
practice such as the one of medical doctors, nurses and other
clinical practitioners, showing the need for developing a unified
framework of reasoning, which merges methods and resources from
many different clinical but also non-clinical disciplines. In
particular, this book shows how to leverage nursing knowledge and
practice, which has been considerably neglected so far, to further
shape the interdisciplinary nature of clinical reasoning.
Furthermore, a thorough philosophical investigation on the values
involved in health care is provided, based on both the clinical and
philosophical literature. The book concludes by proposing an
integrative approach to health and disease going beyond the
so-called "classical biomedical model of care".

This book presents and discusses methodological approaches and
operational tools aimed at increasing the awareness and skills
necessary to face the social, economic and environmental challenges
usually encountered in spatial planning. In addition, it deals with
the concepts of risk and resilience from both a theoretical and
operational point of view. The book promotes a better understanding
of risk, resilience, and related notions such as vulnerability,
fragility and anti-fragility in urban and landscape studies, while
also analyzing new planning policies. Accordingly, it will benefit
all researchers and public decision-makers looking for an
interdisciplinary approach to risk and resilience.
