Abstract

This recent book by Cristian Saborido on philosophy of medicine, which, as it is not abundant, is titled foundationally with the same name, Philosophy of Medicine, is a text dedicated to both philosophers of science and health professionals. In this sense, it is a book for the study of a discipline of philosophy and, at the same time, a text to investigate and provoke reflection to whom carry out the practice of medical sciences. Here we will analyze the main concerns presented by Saborido in order to disaggregate them and understand their implications.
