  • More about The Routledge Handbook of Philosophy of Public Health

The Routledge Handbook of Philosophy of Public Health is a comprehensive and interdisciplinary collection of 26 chapters that explore the ethical, political, methodological, and conceptual aspects of global public health. It is essential reading for students and scholars in political philosophy, bioethics, public health ethics, and the philosophy of medicine, as well as for professionals and researchers in related fields.

Format: Hardback
Length: 430 pages
Publication date: 07 October 2022
Publisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd


Public health is a lesser-known professional field compared to medicine, and it is essential to understand what it is and what it should become. Causal concepts shape the public health agenda, study designs can promote or demote environmental causal factors or health inequalities, risk is understood, expressed, and communicated, and public health research is centered on various topics. Additionally, there is a need to develop technologies that distribute benefits more fairly and integrate ethics into public health practice. The Routledge Handbook of Philosophy of Public Health is the first collection of its kind, comprising 26 chapters by an international and interdisciplinary team of contributors. It is divided into four clear parts: Concepts and distinctions, Reasons and actions, Distribution and inequalities, and Rights and duties. This handbook is an essential reference source for students and scholars working in political philosophy, bioethics, public health ethics, and the philosophy of medicine, as well as for professionals and researchers in related fields such as public health, health economics, and epidemiology.
