Philosophy in Medicine

Charles M. Culver and Bernard Gert Philosophy in Medicine... 

Philosophy in Medicine, by Charles M. Culver and Bernard Gert, both at Dartmouth College, represents the most ambitious job of deconstructing disease so that nothing is left but its identity with mental illness. Although the thrust of their thesis is that mental illness is a bonafide disease and that psychiatry is an integral part of medicine, the book s subtitle. Conceptual and Ethical Issues in Medicine and Psychiatry, belies this view, if psychiatry were a part of medicine, it would be redundant to speak of medicine and psychiatry. ...

The homeland, like the discipline as a whole, is a terrain that is recognized for what it is both by its native members and by outsiders. External recognition is an important element of disciplinary identity. Chemistry can be said to have existed as a clearly defined discipline earlier than physics partly because it was a domain clearly recognized by others as a well-defined body of knowledge and of laboratory practice, useful in medicine, agriculture, and industry. Chemistry was of more immediate interest than natural philosophy or physics to civic and entrepreneurial interests.
