Sinopsis
This book is a contribution to the current philosophical discussion on the nature of health and illness. It contains a comparative analysis and reevaluation of four influential contemporary theories in this field. These are the biostatistical theory of Christopher Boorse which represents the mainstream thinking in medicine, and three versions of a holistic and normative understanding of health and illness which are the theories of Lawrie Reznek, K. W. M. Fulford, and Lennart Nordenfelt. In this unusual volume of assessment, Nordenfelt critically reexamines his own theory, and George Khushf and K. W. M. Fulford contribute critical responses.

Críticas
"... an excellent, careful and critical overview of the abovementioned four theories [Boorse's biostatistical theory of health, disease and illness, Rezneck's theory of disease, Fulword's (reverse) theory of illness, and Nordenfelt's own welfare theory of health] ... I can strongly recommend this book for anyone who is interested in the philosophy of health, disease and illness." in: Medicine, Health Care and Philosophy, Vol. 5, No. 2, 2002 "I would recommend Health, Science and Ordinary Language as a core component around which to develop a course, or as reading for someone already fairly well familiar with contemporary debates on health and disease, looking to think a bit more about the particular debate at issue." in: Metapsychology, December 2002
