Sobre IBD

Merited attention to the scientific basis of Medicine should not eclipse the philosophical associations that run through its theory and practice as discussed in this book, especially its phenomenology. The role of precision in defining medical concepts like normality, knowledge, existence, signs and symptoms of disease, illness, and disability are discussed in the book; so are the controversial and divisive topics of abortion and euthanasia. Finally a plea is made for the inclusion of Darwinian Medicine in the study and understanding of many disease processes. Above all, the importance of understanding, communication, and empathy with patients in their diverse types of existential predicaments as well as their less serious medical afflictions is emphasized throughout the book.

    Edward Makhene
    In this book is a short discussion of the presumed nature of things and objects and the intriguing question of how they persist through time and change, whether as wholes as contended by endurantists, or as temporal parts or stages of the whole object as claimed by perdurantists and exdurantists. The discussion is preceded by a brief excursion into the implications for the natu...
  • PERSPECTIVES ON THE CONCEPT OF BELIEF
    Edward Makhene
    Everyone believes something. Belief is the logical and epistemic prelude to knowledge; but belief should be governed by evidence rather than by fantasy or by transcendent faith. Concepts and truth serve as background to definitions of belief and of knowledge as true belief justified by relevant evidence. Ethical theory and practice also demand similar validation.Science is re...
