Bøger af Christian Munthe

This book applies philosophical methods of conceptual analysis to the ethical, political and philosophical questions that surround health-oriented screening programs, including issues that arise when health care interacts with other societal institutions.

Christian Munthe undertakes an innovative, in-depth philosophical analysis of what the idea of a precautionary principle is and should be about. A novel theory of the ethics of imposing risks is developed and the author analyses the political implications.
