The contributions gathered in this volume endeavour to evaluate the role played by medical empiricism in the emergence of a philosophy of human nature in the 17th century and the role played by philosophical anthropology in the 18th century. Divided into three parts, “1. The Dispute between Metaphysics and Empiricism”, “2. Arts of Empirical Research,” and “3. Relevance of Case Studies,” the volume questions the position of medicine within so-called “natural philosophy”, which encompasses physiology and anatomy, as well as physics, astronomy and chemistry. One of its aims is to understand the tension between the goals pursued by the “natural philosopher” and the objectives set by the 'physician'. Within natural philosophy, the primary goal is to know nature, the body and the living, and this knowledge implies an effort to understand the causes of natural phenomena. For the physician, on the other hand, the primary goal is to cure the patients’ bodies that are presented to him. Contributors include: Claire Crignon, Claire Etchegaray, Guido Giglioni, Domenico Berto Meli, Anne-Lise Rey, Yvonne Wübben, and Carsten Zelle.

In alle steden vind je ze: appartementsgebouwen met grijze, anonieme gevels, vol sociale huurwoningen. In die flats wonen heel wat mensen met hun eigen dromen, verlangens en verwezenlijkingen. Het grijs maakt dan plaats voor kleur. Maar vaak kennen deze flatbewoners ook ziekte en tegenslag, en vaak verbergt de gevel heel wat tragedies. Het boek volgt het verhaal van enkele mensen in zo’n appartementsblok, vanuit het standpunt van een huisarts die, weliswaar van een afstand, zijn leven voor een stuk met hen deelt. Soms wordt hij getroffen door de loyaliteit die er tussen de buren heerst

Zowat ieder van ons wordt vroeg of laat geconfronteerd met een orthopedisch of traumatologisch probleem. Zowel voor de geneesheer, de kinesist als fysiotherapeut is een goede basiskennis van de orthopedie en traumatologie dan ook van primair belang. Dit boek komt aan deze nood tegemoet en geeft een up-to-date beschrijving van de belangrijkste orthopedische aandoeningen en traumata van het bewegingsstelsel. De inhoud is gebaseerd op de basiskennis die elk geneesheer, kinesist en fysiotherapeut hieromtrent zou moeten kunnen verwerven, en is daarom uitermate geschikt als cursustekst bij de lessen orthopedie en traumatologie, en de lessen kinesitherapie en fysiotherapie. Het duidelijke taalgebruik en de talrijke illustraties maken dit werk erg vlot leesbaar, waardoor het ook een handig naslagwerk wordt voor iedereen die geïnteresseerd is in musculoskeletale letsels. Naast artsen, kinesisten en fysiotherapeuten, zullen andere paramedici en mensen actief in de sportwereld eveneens hun gading vinden in dit werk.
