Epilogue: Towards a Toolbox for a Pragmatist Approach to Conceptualization of Health and Disease

Abstract

In this Epilogue, we bring together the different strands of the volume, and reflect on the lessons learned in the international workshop. We discuss next questions to be asked and steps to be taken for the further development and application of our pragmatic approach. We end by tentatively proposing a ‘toolbox’ intended to give guidance to further inquire on the concept and conceptions of Disease, specific diseases, and health, as they function in numerous practical contexts.
