ISBN: 9781844657537.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat is illness? Is it a physiological dysfunction, a social label, or a way of experiencing the world? How do the physical, social and emotional worlds of a person change when they become ill? And can there be well-being within illness? In this remarkable and thought-provoking book, Havi Carel explores these questions by weaving together the personal story of her own serious illness with insights and reflections drawn from her work as a philosopher. Carels fresh approach to illness raises some uncomfortable questions about how we all - whether healthcare professionals or not - view the ill and challenges us to become more thoughtful. Illness unravels the tension between the universality of illness and its intensely private, often lonely, nature. It offers a new way of looking at a matter that affects every one of us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44968499707957,"sku":"ByrdShop_1844657531","price":315.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781844657537_6eba2c9a-3860-44d0-8d9b-1cd58706dd8d.jpg?v=1778812313","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/illness-9781844657537","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
