Abstract

In this article, I side with those who argue that the debate about the definition of "disease" should be reoriented from the question "what is disease" to the question of what it should be. However, I ground my argument on the rejection of the naturalist approach to define disease and the adoption of a normativist approach, according to which the concept of disease is normative and value-laden. Based on this normativist approach, I defend two main theses: (1) that conceptual analysis is not the right method to define disease and that conceptual engineering should be the preferred method and (2) that the method of conceptual engineering should be implemented following the principles of Alexandrova's account of social objectivity in the context of the definition of disease.

超越概念分析:定义疾病的社会客观性和概念工程。
在这篇文章中,我赞同一些人的观点,他们认为关于 "疾病 "定义的辩论应该从 "什么是疾病 "的问题转向 "疾病应该是什么 "的问题。然而,我的论点是基于摒弃自然主义的方法来定义疾病,而采用规范主义的方法,根据规范主义的方法,疾病的概念是规范性的,是有价值的。基于这种规范主义方法,我提出了两个主要论点:(1) 概念分析不是定义疾病的正确方法,概念工程学才是首选方法;(2) 在定义疾病时,应遵循亚历山德罗娃关于社会客观性的论述原则来实施概念工程学方法。

期刊介绍: This bimonthly publication explores the shared themes and concerns of philosophy and the medical sciences. Central issues in medical research and practice have important philosophical dimensions, for, in treating disease and promoting health, medicine involves presuppositions about human goals and values. Conversely, the concerns of philosophy often significantly relate to those of medicine, as philosophers seek to understand the nature of medical knowledge and the human condition in the modern world. In addition, recent developments in medical technology and treatment create moral problems that raise important philosophical questions. The Journal of Medicine and Philosophy aims to provide an ongoing forum for the discussion of such themes and issues.
