Isi artikel

In The Nature of Diease I argued that a value-free account of our concept of diease cannot be given. Part of this argument consisted in showing that dieases as a class do not constitute a natural kind. To understand this, we need only see that we define and classify conditions into dieases and non-dieases not in terms of their causes but in terms of their effects. While no philosophical position is watertight, the arguments overwhelmingly favour the conclusion that dieases do not constitute a natural kind.
