摘要
This is a review article of Elizabeth Barnes' new book, Health Problems. In this article, I try to offer a sense of where this exciting sub-discipline of philosophy of medicine has got to. I do that in three ways. First, I make a few comments on the general idea that there are theories of health competing in the field of philosophy of medicine; second, I offer specific comments on the phenomenological approach; and finally, I comment on Barnes' claim that health is messy. I do not provide an overview of the book but a response to some of its themes.
