Reviews for Medicine in the Post-consumerist Society: A Philosophical Overview

"""A book that sheds light on how medical practice changes in the era of high technology and digitalized infrastructure. It combines both continental and analytic traditions to explore diverse topics – such as the mechanisms of manipulation, the progress of artificial intelligence in relation to neuroscience, the models of medical reasoning, the impact of big data on medicine, the doctor and patient relationship, and finally the new forms of embodiment. I strongly recommend it for medical practitioners, students and anyone interested in the philosophy of medicine."" — Themistoklis Pantazakos, Honorary Research Fellow, UCL "" A provocative and insightful work, challenging us to rethink the role of medicine in a society that values consumption over care, efficiency over empathy, and profit over health. Being truly interdisciplinary, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in philosophy of medicine and its implications for ethics, policy and human well-being."" — Stergios Aidinlis, Lecturer in Law & Programme Director, MSc/LLM in Law, Artificial Intelligence and New Technologies at Keele University Evangelos Komparoudis' book comprises very strong interdisciplinary insights into various ethical dimensions related to the everydayness of the medical decision-making process in the XX. century.  — Piotr Pietrzak, Ph.D., Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski"
