Vortrag
Bilder, Zahlen und die Medizin der Zukunft: Das ‚Als ob‘ als Philosophie der Prävention

Zeit: 22. November 2023, 18:00 – 19:30 UHR
Ort: Hörsaal 542 (UMG Hauptgebäude)

Vortragender: Prof. Dr. Heiner Fangerau (Universitätsklinikum, Heinrich Heine Universität Düsseldorf)
In Kooperation mit: Institute of Advanced Studies for Ethics of Science

Kaum ein Thema scheint im privaten wie gesellschaftlichen Leben so umstritten zu sein wie die gesunde Lebensführung – Prävention ist ein Kampfplatz von politischen Steuerungsinteressen, ökonomischem Kalkül und weltanschaulichen Positionen. Durch die Aufarbeitung der soziohistorischen Entwicklung verschiedener Präventionsverständnisse trägt dieser interdisziplinäre Sammelband zu einem umfassenden Verständnis von Gesundheitsfürsorge und -vorsorge bei und lässt die politischen, soziologischen, rechtlichen und philosophischen Aspekte klar hervortreten.
