Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Confronting the crises of care and professionalism in today’s medicine with the notion of the ‘virtuous’ physician, this book is a comprehensive analysis of what a virtuous physician is, in the context of analytic and phenomenological philosophical traditions.
MoreLong description:
I propose a notion of virtuous physician to address the quality-of-care and professionalism crises plaguing modern medicine. To that end, I discuss the nature of the two crises and efforts to resolve them. I then briefly introduce the notion of virtuous physician and outline its basic features. Next, I discuss virtue theory, along with virtue ethics and epistemology, and specific virtues, especially as they relate to medicine. I then explore the ontological priority of caring as the metaphysical virtue for grounding a notion of virtuous physician, and two ontic virtues—care and competence. Next, I examine the transformation of competence into prudent wisdom and care into personal radical love to forge the compound virtue of prudent love, which is sufficient for defining the virtuous physician. I then reconstruct two clinical case stories, which illustrate the various virtues associated with medical practice. Finally, I discuss how the notion of virtuous physician addresses the quality-of-care and professionalism crises.
