An ethic for health promotion : rethinking the sources of human well-being

"The author explains why health promotion is inescapably a moral and political endeavor. He demonstrates that the realization of human well-being is best achieved by promoting autonomy and responsibility through putting into practice the use of practical reason to gain self-knowledge, self-control, self-direction, and mutual support in civil society."--Jacket
