Recenzii
"Talking about Health offers a set of conversations that contribute significantly to our understanding of how to characterise health and related notions. Nordenfelt combines subtle philosophical argument with secure understanding of medicine to provide a book that will be of value to anyone with an interest in health care." - in: Journal of Medical Ethics 25 (1999)
"Nordenfelt’s theory of health is one of the most elaborated in the field. The book is well-written, the [Socratic] conversations are simple but not simplifying… Thus it can be highly recommended, even to those who are not familiar with the definitional problems of health concepts" - in: Medicine, Health Care and Philosophy: A European Journal, Vol. 2, No. 2 (1999)
