Více o knize
The book explores the transformation of religion's role in society, highlighting how modern medicine is increasingly fulfilling functions once associated with religious institutions. As social changes diminish religion's influence, the medical profession rises to prominence, shaping well-being and controlling various aspects of life. This examination reveals the growing medicalization of social life, suggesting that medical practitioners are assuming a position of authority similar to that of religious priests, thus redefining the landscape of social solidarity and cohesion.
