Although it is seldom stated explicitly, research into this area is inexorably tied to questions of morality and ethics. In this study, Yukiko Asada seeks to acknowledge the role that morality and theories of justice play in health inequality research, and to articulate the moral philosophy underlying this field of inquiry.Comprised of two distinct parts, Health Inequality first proposes a framework for measuring health inequality reflecting moral concern, then goes on to show how this framework can be applied to quantitative study. Using a specific time period as a case study, Asada questions whether or not health equity improved in the United States between 1990 and 1995. She suggests that the question of whether, and by how much, health inequity changed in the United States is dependent on the morality and accompanying empirical strategy used in the analysis.A unique blend of philosophy and quantitative research, Health Inequality will prove a valuable tool for academics and policymakers alike. 606 $aEquality$xHealth aspects 606 $aPublic health$xMoral and ethical aspects 606 $aPublic health$xSocial aspects 606 $aHealth services accessibility 606 $aEquality$xHealth aspects$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEquality$xHealth aspects. 615 0$aPublic health$xMoral and ethical aspects. 615 0$aPublic health$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aHealth services accessibility. 615 0$aEquality$xHealth aspects 676 $a362.1/042 700 $aAsada$b Yukiko$0906433 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455092703321 996 $aHealth inequality$92027081 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04210nam 22006975 450 001 9910785154703321 005 20210423032355.0 010 $a1-282-76714-3 010 $a9786612767142 010 $a1-4008-2376-5 024 7 $a10.1515/9781400823765 035 $a(CKB)2670000000044543 035 $a(EBL)617326 035 $a(OCoLC)699474633 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000442412 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11284907 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000442412 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10447435 035 $a(PQKB)10989057 035 $a(DE-B1597)446219 035 $a(OCoLC)979881390 035 $a(DE-B1597)9781400823765 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC617326 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000044543 100 $a20190708d2010 fg 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|nu---|u||u 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aSilence in the Land of Logos /$fSilvia Montiglio 205 $aCourse Book 210 1$aPrinceton, NJ :$cPrinceton University Press,$d[2010] 210 4$dİ2000 215 $a1 online resource (327 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 0 $a0-691-14658-6 327 $tFront matter --$tContents --$tAcknowledgments --$tA Note on Sources --$tSILENCE IN THE LAND OF LOGOS --$tIntroduction --$tChapter One.

But how did silence fit into the mental framework of a society that valued speech so highly? Here Silvia Montiglio provides the first comprehensive investigation into silence as a distinctive and meaningful phenomenon in archaic and classical Greece. Arguing that the notion of silence is not a universal given but is rather situated in a complex network of associations and values, Montiglio seeks to establish general principles for understanding silence through analyses of cultural practices, including religion, literature, and law. Unlike the silence of a Christian before an ineffable God, which signifies the uselessness of words, silence in Greek religion paradoxically expresses the power of logos--for example, during prayer and sacrifice, it serves as a shield against words that could offend the gods. Montiglio goes on to explore silence in the world of the epic hero, where words are equated with action and their absence signals paralysis or tension in power relationships. Her other examples include oratory, a practice in which citizens must balance their words with silence in very complex ways in order to show that they do not abuse their right to speak. Inquiries into lyric poetry, drama, medical writings, and historiography round out this unprecedented study, revealing silence as a force in its own right. 606 $aGreece -- Civilization 606 $aGreek literature -- History and criticism 606 $aLiterature and anthropology -- Greece 606 $aLiterature and society -- Greece 606 $aSilence in literature 606 $aSilence 615 4$aGreece -- Civilization. 615 4$aGreek literature -- History and criticism. 615 4$aLiterature and anthropology -- Greece. 615 4$aLiterature and society -- Greece. 615 4$aSilence in literature. 615 4$aSilence. 676 $a880.9/38 676 $a880.938 676 $a938 700 $aMontiglio$b Silvia$0169296 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785154703321 996 $aSilence in the land of logos$9305136 997 $aUNINA
