Reclaiming the Soul of Science and Medicine

Articles


This is what Hearts and Minds is about: restoring the lost place of ourselves in our own understanding of the world.

Two articles, the one on placebos and the one on an alternative model of heart function, appear in modified form as chapters in Hearts and Minds. The third article is a review in Holistic Primary Care (starts on page 14) of a recent book (Anthroposophy and Science) by Peter Heusser, MD. It is a superb book, but rather on the technical side and quite challenging. Reading it, though, gave me confidence that I could offer a book for non-expert but concerned readers showing how these crucial issues are affecting everyone's  lives.
