Hans-Georg Gadamer, now ninety-five, is one of Germany's most eminent philosophers. Many of his books have appeared in English translation, including the seminal Truth and Method (Sheed and Ward, Ltd., l975) and, closest in topic, perhaps, to this book, Reason in the Age of Science (MIT, l982).
"This is an extraordinarily thoughtful and insightful analysis of
major contemporary problems dealing with the physician-patient
relationship and the attitude of work that attempts to do what
Gadamer does here. The book will serve educators in the
humanities--especially those in philosophy, psychology, and
sociology--as well as many persons in the health professions. I
would be pleased if its messages were absorbed by every student and
practitioner of medicine.
