Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. Etat de la jaquette : Fair. 1st Edition. First edition, first printing of this interdisciplinary collection edited by philosopher of science Larry Laudan, examining fundamental problems of explanation, causation, evaluation, and theory formation in psychiatry and the biomedical sciences. Contributors approach psychiatry and medicine from the perspectives of philosophy of science, psychoanalysis, epistemology, and biomedical explanation. Subjects include the nature of psychoanalytic explanation, standards of scientific evaluation, causation in biomedical science, interpretation of human action, and philosophical problems surrounding psychiatric theory. Published as Volume 8 of the Pittsburgh Series in Philosophy and History of Science. 365 pages, with bibliographical references and index. The complete number line 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 confirms the first printing. Bibliographic records confirm the 1983 University of California Press edition, 365 pages, and ISBN 0-520-04623-4. Detailed Condition Very Good+ hardcover in Fair original dust jacket. Binding appears firm and square. Interior is clean and bright, with clean title and copyright pages and no writing, highlighting, or ownership markings visible in the photographs. Dust jacket shows substantial edge wear, including several tears and chips along the upper edge, wear and small losses at corners and spine ends, rubbing and surface wear, and a larger torn/chipped area at the lower rear corner. Jacket remains complete enough for display and retains strong color and legible lettering, but the edge damage warrants a Fair grade. Significance / Collector Appeal An interesting crossover title for collections in the philosophy of medicine, philosophy of science, psychiatry, psychoanalysis, and history of medical thought. Larry Laudan was an important twentieth-century philosopher of science, and this volume brings philosophical analysis directly to questions surrounding psychiatric and biomedical explanation. Contributors include prominent figures in philosophy, medicine, and psychoanalytic criticism. The first printing in its original dust jacket is considerably more desirable than an ex-library or jacketless reference copy despite the jacket wear. Shipping / Returns Carefully packed and shipped by KC Midwest Books. USPS Media Mail shipping within the United States unless otherwise requested. International shipping available at cost. Returns accepted in accordance with AbeBooks' return policy. SCI 4a.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This volume inaugurates a series concerning philosophy and medicine. There are few, if any, areas of social concern so pervasive as medicine and yet as underexamined by philosophy. But the claim to precedence of the Proceedings of the First Trans-Disciplinary Symposium on Philos ophy and Medicine must be qualified. Claims to be 'first' are notorious in the history of scientific as well as humanistic investigation and the claim that the First Trans-Disciplinary Symposium on Philosophy and Medicine has no precedent is not meant to be put in bald form. The editors clearly do not maintain that philosophers and physicians have not heretofore discussed matters of mutual concern, nor that individual philosophers and physicians have never taken up problems and concepts in medicine which are themselves at the boundary or interface of these two disciplines - concepts like 'matter,' 'disease,' 'psyche. ' Surely there have been books published on the logic and philosophy of medi 1 cine. But the formalization of issues and concepts in medicine has not received, at least in this century, sustained interest by professional phi losophers. Groups of philosophers have not engaged medicine in order to explicate its philosophical presuppositions and to sort out the various concepts which appear in medicine. The scope of such an effort takes the philosopher beyond problems and issues which today are subsumed under the rubric 'medical ethics.…
