摘要
This paper argues that there is a need to move yet further than has already been suggested by some from the individual to the collective as a base for public health. A communitarian approach is one way to achieve this. This has the advantage of allowing not only the community's voice to have a say in setting the values for public health but also more formally the development of a constitution on which public health might then be built. It also sees public health as a social institution which can be valued in its own right.
