A great book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This is a great book. It shows the effects of the categories we use in a specific context and provides insight of why in some places doctors use a language that is not transfarable to other contexts in their rigid form. As the author shows, categories are inmersed in social, political and epistemological mileu. For those who love Foucault, Harre, Hacking Parker or Rose, this is a very complementary reading.
