    Edited by S.F. Spicker, H. Tristram Engelhardt Jr. ...
    Series series Philosophy and Religion (R0)
    Although the investigation and regulation of the faculties of the human mind appear to be the proper and sole concern of philosophers, you see that they are in some part nevertheless so little foreign to the medical forum that while someone may deny that they are proper to the physician he cannot deny that physicians have the obliga tion to philosophize.

    Value Conflicts for the 21st Century

    Edited by S.F. Spicker, S.R. Ingman, Ian Lawson ...

    Series series Philosophy and Religion (R0)
    Over a period of a year, the symposium on clinical judgment has taken shape as a volume devoted to the analysis of how knowledge claims are framed in medicine and how choices of treatment are made.
