This book about philosophy of medicine bestows a bottom-up and not
a top-down approach. It starts from clinical medicine and
epidemiology, analyzing their interrelations with philosophical
instruments. The book criticizes the constant search for
generalities and the essentialism that too often characterizes this
discipline, which results in philosophers of medicine dialoguing
with each other without direct contact with medical science. In the
light of Ludwig Wittgenstein's philosophy, this book proposes an
approach to the philosophy of medicine based on the quorum of
language, what Wittgenstein calls family resemblances. In this way
the author establishes a philosophy of medicine that is closely
related to the medical clinic and to public health and as such
avoids armchair philosophy. “Don’t think, but look", wrote
Wittgenstein.
