Synopsis: Understanding the Dynamics of Health develops a comprehensive framework for understanding health and its impairments, drawing on the work of Bernard Lonergan. By integrating perspectives from common sense, theory, practice, and finitude , this book examines health as a multidimensional phenomenon shaped by organic, psychological, cognitive, and social-historical factors. Providing a systematic and critical foundation for uniting diverse health-related disciplines, from network biology and neuroscience to narrative medicine, bioethics, and public health philosophy, this book’s holistic framework not only emphasizes the lived experience of the whole person but also establishes a methodological approach for integrating the ever-expanding fields of health science and healthcare. This book is essential reading for scholars, practitioners, and students in medicine, healthcare, and philosophy, as well as anyone seeking a deeper, more integrated understanding of health in today’s complex world.
