SACRED SCIENCE - GREGORY LOEWEN GEBUNDEN

Sacred Science is an analysis of post-war discourses concerning health and illness. These
discourses are an attempt to grasp the meaning of health in our modern human condition  and as
such they provide both new insights into the genealogy of conceptualizations of both health and
illness  but also serve as a viable hermeneutic summary of many important textual moments in
the recent history of health studies  including Foucault  Gadamer  Illich  Sontag  and others.
This book is the result of a phenomenological disquisition of the ideas employed by health
scholars and philosophers  and its import rests both on its uniqueness in the relevant fields
and its new ideas  including 'indefinitude'  'deontic facticity'  and illness as the experience
of the simultaneous 'inexistence' of both life and death.
