Philosophical Investigations into the Essence of Pediatric Suffering

What is pediatric suffering, and how is the suffering of sick children different from that of sick adults? This book attempts to answer these pressing questions. Through philosophical engagement with a clinical case, the essays in this book approach the problem of pediatric suffering from a set of unique perspectives reflecting diverse philosophical traditions, disciplinary formations, and clinical experiences.Previously published in Theoretical Medicine and Bioethics Volume 41, issue 4, August 2020
