Maël Lemoine

Maël Lemoine, a Professor of Philosophy at the University of Bordeaux and author of Philosophy of Physiology, delves into the intricate relationship between health and disease. He explores the divide between naturalists and normativists in defining disease and contrasts the philosophy of medicine with the philosophy of physiology. Lemoine emphasizes viewing health as an evolved trait shaped by natural phenomena, challenges traditional notions of homeostasis, and advocates for a broader understanding of pathology. His insights bridge philosophy, science, and our understanding of well-being.
