Whose values? Whose reasons? A commentary on ‘Rethinking disease: a fresh diagnosis and a new philosophical treatment’ by Powell and Scarffe
Journal of Medical Ethics 45 (9):592-593 (2019)
Abstract
In this short commentary, I reflect on the new definition of disease proposed by Powell and Scarffe. I suggest that the method they appeal to as objective, namely, rational justification, is open to several criticisms, which I outline and discuss.Author's Profile
