Philosophy of Population Health Philosophy for a New Public Health Era

Population health has recently grown from a series of loosely connected critiques of twentieth-century public health and medicine into a theoretical framework with a corresponding ﬁeld of research—population health science. Its approach is to promote the public’s health through improving everyday human life: afford-able nutritious food clean air safe places where children can play living wages etc. It recognizes that addressing contemporary health challenges such as the prevalence of type 2 diabetes will take much more than good hospitals and public health departments. Blending philosophy of science/medicine public health ethics and history this book offers a framework that explains analyses and largely endorses the features that deﬁne this relatively new ﬁeld. Presenting a philosophical perspective Valles helps to clarify what these features are and why they matter including: searching for health’s upstream causes in social life embracing a professional commitment to studying and ameliorating the staggering health inequities in and between populations; and reforming scientiﬁc practices to foster humility and respect among the many scientists and non- scientists who must work collaboratively to promote health. Featuring illustrative case studies from around the globe at the end of all main chapters this radical monograph is written to be accessible to all scholars and advanced students who have an interest in health—from public health students to professional philosophers. | Philosophy of Population Health Philosophy for a New Public Health Era
