Capitalism, Citizenship and the Arts of Thinking: A Marxian–Aristotelian linguistic account
Capitalism, Citizenship and the Arts of Thinking proposes a historical materialist ethic of human flourishing understood in terms of the practice of citizenship. It focuses on the ways in which capitalism’s necessary mode of thinking – analytical thinking – impedes the nurturing of capabilities for citizenship as understood from a Marxian-Aristotelian point of view. It includes a systematic discussion of the Aristotelian resonances in Marx’s crit…

Capitalism and Citizenship: The Impossible Partnership
Can capitalism and citizenship co-exist? In recent years advocates of the Third Way have championed the idea of public-spirited capitalism as the antidote to the many problems confronting the modern world. This book develops a multi-disciplinary theory of citizenship, exploring the human abilities needed for its practice. It then argues that capitalism impedes the nurturing of these abilities. In advancing these arguments, Kathryn Dean draws on t…
After Blair: Politics After The New Labour Decade. Edited by Gerry Hassan
Realism, Marxism and Method
The contemporary social sciences are in a state of theoretical fragmentation. A dizzying array of approaches jostle for attention, each making grander and often increasingly radical claims about the nature of human life and the best method of studying it. The roots of this fragmentation lie in the 1960s, when a deeply held sense of dissatisfaction with mainstream social theory led to the search for alternatives to the positivism that had come to …
Realism, Philosophy and Social Science
The authors examine the relationship between social science and philosophy and ask what sort of work social science and an accompanying philosophy should do. They reintroduce the question of ontology

The imperative of health: Public health and the regulated body
Using theory to guide policy relevant health promotion research
The concept of health promotion has evolved into a strategy for improving health that goes beyond individual behaviour to include the physical, social and economic environments in which health and behaviour are shaped. The core of the strategy is to stimulate action against the root causes of ill health in communities. A prerequisite for effective health promotion action is valid knowledge about how forces protect or damage health in daily life. …

New directions for health: Towards a knowledge base for public health action
Health related behavior in health promotion: Utilizing the concept of self care
The concepts of health promotion and seif care have common origins. Both represent new thinking about the roles of the professional and lay sectors in health protection. The two concepts developed quite d however. The concept of self care did not attain the same level of legitimacy and stability as health promotion, which has evolved from an alternative approach to the dominance of traditional disease prevention into a rapidly developing health f…
Symptom Consultation in Lay Networks in an Elderly Population
Although lay referrals are known to be important as factors affecting the use of professional services, less is known about how individuals use lay consultation in evaluating symptoms. The amount and type of advice given by persons in the social network is especially important with respect to self care of symptoms that never reach the attention of professional caregivers. This article provides information on how often and from whom elderly citize…

Furthermore, statistically significant independent relationships were found between workloads in the fa…
Relationships between Knowledge and Belief Variables and Health Maintenance Behaviors in a Danish Population Over 45 Years of Age
The growing body of evidence regarding the importance of self-care behavior for the maintenance of health and functional capacity has stimulated research interest in identifying the factors and processes that influence health-related behavior.

Self-care responses to illness: A selected review
Self-Care of Common Illnesses in Denmark
Survey data collected from a random sample of the Danish population in the first phase of a research investigation of self-care behavior are discussed.

Social support and health: Pathways of influence
Variables measuring aspects of social support and/or social network have been correlated with morbidity and mortality in multiple investigations. However, the findings from these investigations are inconsistent. Both conceptual and methodological issues in the literature on social support and health need to be resolved in order to clarify the health promotion implications of this subject. This paper discusses issues in the literature on social su…

Issues in the development of health promotion indicators
The rapid adoption of the concept of health promotion in recent years, with the corresponding need to monitor health promotion endeavours, raises issues for the development of valid indicators of progress. A first step in such development is the differentiation of health promotion indicators from indicators of health status. The former constitute the means or methods to achieve the goal of enhancing health. The two types of indicators should be c…
