L'histoire de la médecine, activité longtemps réservée et consacrée aux seuls médecins, a connu depuis un demi-siècle de nombreuses mutations. Investis par les historiens, les philosophes et diverses sciences sociales, elle s'est progressivement développée sous la forme d'une histoire de la santé visant à comprendre comment les hommes et les femmes du passé vivaient, pensaient et agissaient pour maintenir, recouvrer ou améliorer leur santé.

C'est un panorama de ces recherches francophones en histoire de la santé à l'époque moderne et contemporaine que propose cet ouvrage collectif. Résultat des activités du réseau de recherche Historiens de la santé, il présente une sélection de travaux originaux réalisés par des chercheuses et des chercheurs francophones issus de différents pays, afin de témoigner de la vitalité de l'histoire francophone de la santé.
The Routledge Handbook of the Philosophy of Economics
The most fundamental questions of economics are often philosophical in nature, and philosophers have, since the very beginning of Western philosophy, asked many questions that current observers would identify as economic. The Routledge Handbook of Philosophy of Economics is an outstanding reference source for the key topics, problems, and debates at the intersection of philosophical and economic inquiry. It captures this field of countless exciting interconnections, affinities, and opportunities for cross-fertilization. Comprising 35 chapters by a diverse team of contributors from all over the globe, the Handbook is divided into eight sections: I. Rationality II. Cooperation and Interaction III. Methodology IV. Values V. Causality and Explanation VI. Experimentation and Simulation VII. Evidence VIII. Policy The volume is essential reading for students and researchers in economics and philosophy who are interested in exploring the interconnections between the two disciplines. It is also a valuable resource for those in related fields like political science, sociology, and the humanities.
Experts, sciences et sociétés

Une des grandes forces de ce livre tient à son caractère multidisciplinaire, qui accorde une place importante à la philosophie, à la science politique, Ã...
Learning to Practise
How does one become a professional? This interdisciplinary collection offers new insights into that fundamental question. Employing a wide variety of approaches and methodologies, the original and thematically linked essays discuss such problematic issues as the most appropriate site for professional education, the proper focus and content of the initial and on-going preparation of professionals, and the nature of both continuity and change in professional education. In the process, they raise challenging questions about the development of professional education in Canada and elsewhere from the early 19th century to the present day, in fields as diverse as the health sciences, law, engineering, social work, theology, and university teaching. An essential resource for those studying the professions, this book will also appeal to practitioners, professional associations, administrators, and faculty in professional schools, and to all those interested in the past, present, and future state of their professions.
