- Title
Le idee di salute e di malattia - Quinta parte.
- Authors
Perozziello, Federico E.
- Abstract
The ideas of health and illness appear immediate and simple and a reflection on their formation is not usually conducted. Instead, these are two conditions of life that are not rigidly separated. It is not possible to safely divide a state of health from one of illness, as these moments do not have a simple biological characteristic, but are also the result of cultural rather than medical evaluations. Accepting the complexity that precedes and sustains the state of illness, or that of health, also means accepting one's own human condition and fragility, stopping to pursue at all costs stereotypes of appearance and well-being that can generate a feeling of inadequacy linked to consumption and non-care logics.
