Nowhere is an evaluation of this interplay more important than in the  ethics of diagnosis. Traditionally, diagnosis has been understood as  an epistemological activity which is concerned with facts and excludes  the intrusion of values. The essays in this volume challenge this  assumption. Questions of knowledge in diagnosis are intimately related  to the concerns with intervention that characterize the applied  science of medicine. Broad social and individual goals, as well as  diverse ethical frameworks, are shown to condition both the processes  and results of diagnosis. This has significant implications for  bioethics, implications that have not previously been developed. With  this volume, `the ethics of diagnosis' is established as an important  branch of bioethics. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2010-12-15\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789048141104\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-0-585-28333-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 315\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44481539833996,"sku":"9789048141104","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789048141104.jpg?v=1779935302","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789048141104","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
