Care and Cure

Care and Cure offers an introduction to fundamental issues in the philosophy of medicine, covering the conceptual distinctions between care and cure and the epistemic foundations of clinical practice.

Jacob Stegenga examines how medical knowledge is produced, assessed, and applied, addressing topics such as evidence, causation, and the ethics of clinical decision-making.

The book aims to be accessible to students and general readers while engaging with contemporary debates in philosophy and medical practice.

Through examples and critical analysis, it clarifies how philosophical tools can inform better medical reasoning and policy.

It serves as both a textbook and a primer for those interested in the theoretical underpinnings of medicine.
