Gesundheitskonzepte Im Wandel

In an era of seemingly unlimited possibility, German society has developed a pluralistic appreciation of health. Under the influence of medical, demographic and social variation, the ideas of both health and disease are subject to continuous change. This conference transcript, supplemented by selected articles, examines - from different perspectives - the historical conditions and the present state of this change and discloses possible consequences. The contributions describe and analyze concisely and in many distinct ways the latest developments concerning the idea of health in regard to the involved sciences: medicine, history, theology, philosophy, jurisprudence, social policy, economics, and ethics.
