Thinking through breast cancer : a philosophical exploration of diagnosis, treatment, and survival / Mary Ann G. Cutter.
Author:
Cutter, Mary Ann Gardell, author.
General Notes:
Includes bibliographical references (pages 207-219) and index.
Introduction -- How is breast cancer described ? -- How is breast cancer explained ? -- How is breast cancer evaluated ? -- How is breast cancer a social phenomenon ? -- What is the relation among the descriptive, explanatory, evaluative, and social dimensions of breast cancer ? -- What are the ethical implications of understanding and treating breast cancer? -- Extended musings -- Glossary of medical terms -- Glossary of philosophical terms -- References -- Index.
"Thinking Through Breast Cancer is a philosophical investigation of how breast cancer is described, explained, evaluated, and socialized in medicine. Written by a breast cancer survivor, the book interweaves personal experience with a systematic breakdown of key and highly pertinent philosophical concepts, and brings to light insights that emerge in metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, social and political philosophy, and bioethics. Further, it is an investigation of the ethical implications of understanding breast cancer. Cutter seamlessly combines clinical information with philosophical analysis and makes recommendations as to how we can navigate the complex and, at times, uncertain terrain of breast cancer knowledge and care. In this way, the book is not simply a survey of what we know about breast cancer, but a personal search for guidance about navigating the complex, confusing, and frightening terrain of breast cancer diagnosis, treatment, and survival."--Dust jacket.
