Reviews

"The Enigma of Health is a thoroughly wise book and should be compulsory reading for anyone with a direct or passing, professional or lay, interest in medicine and health-care. It is also an excellent introduction to the intricacies and subtleties of Gadamer's thought." Milltown Studies
"Anyone interested in Gadamer, and anyone seeking quotable quotes from a famous and influential philosopher who is sceptical of the claims of modernism in medicine, would do well to peruse this book." Medical History "There is much of interest ... Gadamer has written wide-ranging essays which will generate reflection ... thought provoking." Health
