«The book follows up on questions arising from Barnes' work on disability (2016), and contributes to the debate in philosophy of medicine about the concepts 'health' and 'pathology' (or 'disease'). It provides a refreshingly broad discussion of the concept of health, and its focus on disability is particularly valuable. The application of David Lewis' contextual response to the puzzle of the statue and the clay, and of Delia Graff Fara's work on vagueness, to health are intriguing original contributions.»
