Slow Cures and Bad Philosophers: Essays on Wittgenstein, Medicine, and Bioethics Review "Carl Elliott always writes intriguing essays at the intersection between ethics, medicine, and general philosophy, so it is a real pleasure to have a new installment in his continuing reflections on the fascinating problems that arise in this territory. Aside from anything else, he writes well for the general reader, who can enjoy and learn from his work."-Stephen Toulmin, University of Southern California "A startlingly original and very important collection of essays.

This is a high quality, useful work."-Martin Benjamin, author of Splitting the Difference: Compromise and Integrity in Ethics and Politics 				    	 					 From the Back Cover "Carl Elliott always writes intriguing essays at the intersection between ethics, medicine, and general philosophy, so it is a real pleasure to have a new installment in his continuing reflections on the fascinating problems that arise in this territory.
