"This volume is a collection of philosophy of medicine chapters that deal, in one way or another, with the three linked themes of the title. ... The chapters are well-researched and well-written and provide the reader with a useful snapshot of contemporary philosophy of medicine. ... this book is a valuable addition to the research literature. " (Brendan Clarke, Metascience, Vol. 25, 2016)
