The Cult and Science of Public Health de Kevin Dew

The Cult and Science of Public Health

Autor Kevin Dew
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 apr 2014
In contemporary manifestations of public health rituals and events, people are being increasingly united around what they hold in common - their material being and humanity. As a cult of humanity, public health provides a moral force in society that replaces 'traditional' religions in times of great diversity or heterogeneity of peoples.

Recenzii

" - an outstanding overview of public health, neatly traversing complex theoretical fields and developing a fascinating account of the moral significance of modern public health and its rituals - the book truly breaks new ground in allowing us to think through the complexities and paradoxes of public health as it acts at one time to free and protect the individual and at others to tend towards a moral absolutism of control." * Keith White, Australian National University, Canberra " - the text is impressive, in terms of the amount of material brought together and the accessibility afforded to potential readers." * Mike Bury, Royal Holloway, University of London
