Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes philosophical ideas about illness and suffering, exploring how humanity's conceptualization of these inevitable aspects of life have changed with the evolution of Western culture. The author argues that the Enlightenment and the rise of modern medicine fostered a view of illness as a problem to be solved, a malfunctioning of a machine that could be fixed. The book traces this idea to antiquity, with the Greeks and Romans playing a significant role in shaping the Western worldview toward illness. The author argues that while the modern perspective has led to advancements in medical technology, it has also led to a dehumanization of the experience of illness and disregards the intrinsic meaning of bodily existence. This book offers valuable insights for those seeking to understand the philosophical underpinnings of the human experience of illness and how these concepts have evolved alongside the history of medicine. Its thoughtful and thought-provoking analysis will be of interest to scholars and students in philosophy, medicine, and the humanities.
