Peter Conrad has not only coined the term "medicalisation", but also the notion of "healthisation". He says that "[o]ne turns the moral into the medical, the other turns health into the moral". In my paper I want to explore the idea of healthisation and potential problems with its political dimension in public health settings. I will aim to link these considerations to the philosophical debate about the concept and the value of health.
Thomas Schramme joined the University of Liverpool in 2016. His background is in philosophy, but he has often worked in interdisciplinary projects, for instance in a research group on Normative Aspects of Public Health at the Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Bielefeld. Thomas held positions at the Universities of Hamburg, Swansea, and Mannheim. He has published widely in philosophy of medicine and psychiatry, mainly on the concepts of health and disease. Most recently he has published the Handbook of the Philosophy of Medicine (co-edited with Steven Edwards), which will be released this December.
All welcome. Tea, coffee and biscuits will be provided.
