Isi artikel

In The Nature of Diease, Lawre Reznek argues that diease is not a natural kind term. I raise objections to Reznek's two central arguments for establishing that diease is not a natural kind. In criticizing his a priore, conceptual argument against naturalism, I argue that his conclusion rests on a weaker argument that appeals to the empirical diversity in the symptoms and manifestations of diease. I also raise questions about the account of natural kinds which Reznek utilizes and his point that conventions for classification are wxcluded by there being natural kinds.
