Zusatztext Recent decades have seen nearly every area of philosophy, from semantics to epistemology to metaethics, fruitfully engaging with methods of experimental philosophy. Now Hens and De Block have put together an excellent and pathbreaking collection of essays that examine how those methods illuminate core issues in the philosophy of medicine. Informationen zum Autor Kristien Hens is Research Professor in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Antwerp, Belgium. Andreas De Block is Full Professor in the Institute of Philosophy at KU Leuven, Belgium. Klappentext This open access collection brings together a team of leading scholars and rising stars to consider what experimental philosophy of medicine is and can be.While experimental philosophy of science is an established field, attempts to tackle issues in philosophy of medicine from an experimental angle are still surprisingly scarce. A team of interdisciplinary scholars demonstrate how we can make progress by integrating a variety of methods from experimental philosophy, including experiments, sociological surveys, simulations, as well as history and philosophy of science, in order to yield meaningful results about the core questions in medicine. They focus on concepts central to philosophy of medicine and medical practice, such as death, pain, disease and disorder, advance directives, medical explanation, disability and informed consent. Presenting empirical findings and providing a crucial foundation for future work in this dynamic field, this collection explores new ways for philosophers to cooperate with scientists and reveals the value of these collaborations for both philosophy and medicine.
