On disease

theories of disease and the ascription of disease

Loretta Kopelman

pp. 143-150

Abstrakt

Dr. Engelhardt has argued that the concept of disease is ambiguous because it has both an explanatory and an evaluative role.1 I would like to examine this. To do so I will begin by distinguishing between theories of disease on the one hand and the ascription of disease on the other.
