In this important book, Hans-Georg Gadamer discusses the transformations in human self-understanding wrought by the scientific world-view, focusing in particular on the unparalleled achievements of modern medicine. He explores the ethical and humanist issues raised by the technological successes of modern clinical practice, and relates them to the classical conception of 'praxis' in the philosophical tradition. In a series of lucid and engaging analyses, Gadamer eloquently defends the idea of medicine, not only as a 'science' of health, but as an 'art' of hermeneutic relevance, requiring the exercise of practical judgement and personal interpretation. We should, he argues, recognize the limits of a purely technical approach to healing, as well as the importance of a qualitative approach to medical treatment. Written by one of the leading philosophers of the twentieth century, this brilliant meditation on health, illness and the art of healing will be of interest to general readers as well as students of philosophy and social thought.
