This book critiques the way key normative conceptions of science in advanced capitalism both incite, and limit possibilities for, healthcare and render compassion itself prey to ideology. The author examines the concepts of health, knowing through science, and human subjectivity in relation to philosophical and psychoanalytic ideas.
