Public health
In Fred Gifford (ed.), Philosophy of Medicine. Elsevier (2011)
| Abstract | Public health involves the application of a wide variety of scientific and non-scientific disciplines to the very practical problems of improving population health and preventing disease. Public health has received surprisingly little attention from philosophers of science. In this chapter we consider some neglected but important philosophical aspects of the science of public health. | |||||||||
