{PDF} Means, Ends and Medical Care (Philosophy and Medicine) HG Wright (Author)

In this remarkable book, Gary Wright focuses thirty years? experience as a family physician, and his Ph.D. in philosophy, to address the nature of good medical reasoning. Wright folds cognitive science into a pragmatist framework developed by John Dewey; this alternative view of mind and medical judgment leads to a model of reasoning that offers realistic guidance for medical decisions, one that each of us would want our own physicians to adopt.
