Pellegrino’s Philosophy of Medicine\u003c\/h1\u003e \u003ch2\u003eThomasma, David C.\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis volume is dedicated to the philosophy of medicine advanced  by Edmund D. Pellegrino, a renowned physician educator and  philosopher. Pellegrino's thinking about the philosophy of medicine  centers on the importance of illness in the life of the patient, and  the professional relationship established by promising to alleviate  suffering. From this relationship norms are established that  contribute to the staying power of medicine as a moral enterprise.  \u003cbr\u003e  Chapters are included from established thinkers and newcomers to the  field, all of whom have been influenced by Pellegrino. Some chapters  expand upon his thinking for primary care, managed care, and other  delivery systems. Other chapters explain in more detail certain key  concepts in Pellegrino's thought, like beneficence, doing no harm, and  clinical phronesis or prudential decision making. Still others explore  areas of difficulty like the reliance on role modeling and virtue  ethics, the problem of pluralism and a loss of professional normative  ethics, and the search for the foundations of the philosophy of  medicine. \u003cbr\u003e  Constructing a viable philosophy of medicine for the next century is  an essential task for grounding the morality of medicine during  enormous social and economic change. Pellegrino's thinking and the  ideas of those he has influenced will contribute immensely to this  challenge.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1997-03-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9780792344124\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792344124\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-017-3364-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 215\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44358431867020,"sku":"9780792344124","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792344124_ff3be0dd-fea8-43e9-885d-28d2614d36db.jpg?v=1755106758","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792344124","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
