Philosophy, Medicine, and the Concept of "Normal"
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: The concept of "normal" has long been a subject of debate, bridging the realms of philosophy and medicine. What does it mean to be normal? This article critically reflects on the origins, implications, and limitations of this concept, exploring its philosophical underpinnings, medical applications, and societal impact. By examining this complex interplay, we aim to provide insights into how redefining "normal" can lead to more inclusive and empathetic approaches in healthcare and beyond.
