Health as Liberation

Exploring the intersection of Latin American and feminist liberation theologies with philosophical insights from Kant and Rawls, the book addresses the moral obligations individuals have toward one another. It critiques the current health-care system in the U.S., arguing that societal definitions of health relate closely to personal and social freedoms. In a compelling conclusion, ethical standards for equitable health-care delivery are proposed, emphasizing the importance of religious faith and community care in achieving justice in health services.
