Hello everyone, welcome to a new episode of the Decenter. I'm your host as always, Ricardo Lopes, and today I'm joined by Dr. Mael Lemoine. He is a professor of philosophy at the University of Bordeaux, and he today we're going to talk about his book, Philosophy of Physiology. So Dr.
Lemoine, welcome to the show. It's a huge pleasure to have you one. Yeah, shared pleasure for me. Thank you for having me here. So the book is centered on philosophy of physiology, but of course, if I understood it correctly, there's a lot of overlap with questions that people explore in the philosophy of medicine, and we can talk more about that and clarify that issue.
How do people tend to approach the question what is health? and disease in the philosophy of medicine? I think they tend to approach it as a practice. And so they see medicine as a practice, which it is, of course, and they are mostly interested in, for instance, questions like values that would um uh be active in that practice or you know play a role in the decisions that are taken and that kind of uh so that's the kind of approach they generally have.
