Sammanfattning
In medicine, there are value-neutral scientific as well as value-laden relational notions of disease. This chronicle will discuss the practical use of value-laden notions of health and disease within the system of the Norwegian Labour and Welfare Administration (NLWA). I will use the health philosophy of the Swedish philosopher Lennart Nordenfelt, who focuses on human abilities. Ability-based notions of health and disease help establish a space for professional and ethical reflection in the encounter between users/patients and NLWA professionals.
