Morality and health

Description:

Morality and Health: Interdisciplinary Perspectives provides a compelling assessment of the powerful role moral systems play in addressing matters of health and disease. Encompassing a wide range of academic disciplines, the essays draw on the fields of psychology, medicine, history, sociology, political science, anthropology, sociology, and law. Contributors focus on the history of attitudes and values associated with diseases and disease-related behaviors, such as drinking, smoking, drug use, and diet, as well as the social, psychological and cultural perspectives of the ways morality shapes our understanding of who gets sick and why.
