In Quest of Justice: Islamic Law and Forensic Medicine in Modern Egypt

In Quest of Justice: Islamic Law and Forensic Medicine in Modern Egypt by Khaled Fahmy
English | September 28th, 2018 | ISBN: 0520395611, 0520279034 | 392 pages | True EPUB | 3.44 MB

In Quest of Justice provides the first full account of the establishment and workings of a new kind of state in Egypt in the modern period. Drawing on groundbreaking research in the Egyptian archives, this highly original book shows how the state affected those subject to it and their response. Illustrating how shari'a was actually implemented, how criminal justice functioned, and how scientific-medical knowledges and practices were introduced, Khaled Fahmy offers exciting new interpretations that are neither colonial nor nationalist. Moreover he shows how lower-class Egyptians did not see modern practices that fused medical and legal purposes in new ways as contrary to Islam. This is a major contribution to our understanding of Islam and modernity.

Rethinking Medical Humanities: Perspectives from the Arts and the Social Sciences (Medical Traditions)

Rethinking Medical Humanities: Perspectives from the Arts and the Social Sciences (Medical Traditions) by Rinaldo F. Canalis, Massimo Ciavolella, Valeria Finucci
English | December 19th, 2022 | ISBN: 3110788004 | 420 pages | True EPUB | 8.41 MB

Medical Humanities may be broadly conceptualized as a discipline wherein medicine and its specialties intersect with those of the humanities and social sciences. As such it is a hybrid area of study where the impact of disease and healing science on culture is assessed and expressed in the particular language of the disciplines concerned with the human experience. However, as much as at first sight this definition appears to be clear, it does not reflect how the interaction of medicine with the humanities has evolved to become a separate field of study. In this publication we have explored, through the analysis of a group of selected multidisciplinary essays, the dynamics of this process.

Vitalism and Its Legacy in Twentieth Century Life Sciences and Philosophy

Vitalism and Its Legacy in Twentieth Century Life Sciences and Philosophy by Christopher Donohue, Charles T. Wolfe
English | PDF,EPUB | 2023 | 270 Pages | ISBN : 3031126033 | 3.8 MB

This book combines philosophical and historical analysis of various forms of alternatives to mechanism and mechanistic explanation, focusing on the 19th century to the present. It addresses vitalism, organicism and responses to materialism and its relevance to current biological science. In doing so, it promotes dialogue and discussion about the historical and philosophical importance of vitalism and other non-mechanistic conceptions of life. It points towards the integration of genomic science into the broader history of biology. It details a broad engagement with a variety of nineteenth, twentieth and twenty-first century vitalisms and conceptions of life. In addition, it discusses important threads in the history of concepts in the United States and Europe, including charting new reception histories in eastern and south-eastern Europe. While vitalism, organicism and similar epistemologies are often the concern of specialists in the history and philosophy of biology and of historians of ideas, the range of the contributions as well as the geographical and temporal scope of the volume allows for it to appeal to the historian of science and the historian of biology generally.

Work and Occupation in French and English Mental Hospitals, c.1918-1939

Work and Occupation in French and English Mental Hospitals, c.1918-1939 by Jane Freebody
English | PDF,EPUB | 2023 | 392 Pages | ISBN : 3031131045 | 19.6 MB

This book demonstrates that, while occupation has been used to treat the mentally disordered since the early nineteenth century, approaches to its use have varied across different countries and in different time periods. Comparing how occupation was used in French and English mental institutions between 1918 and 1939, one hundred years after the heyday of moral therapy, the book is an essential read for those researching the history of mental health and medicine more generally. It provides an overview of the legislation, management structures and financial conditions that affected mental institutions in France and England, and contributed to their differing responses to the new theories of occupational therapy emerging from the USA and Germany during the interwar period.
