Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medicine raises numerous philosophical issues. This volume approaches the philosophy of medicine from the broad naturalist perspective.

The upshot is a unique volume that ties medicine to contemporary issues in philosophy of science and metaphysics.
