Abstract

Chapter two of the book "Health, Science & Ordinary Language" is presented. It offers an evaluation of the work of Christopher Boorse and uses the theories in his work "A Rebuttal on Health" as basis of the study. The biostatistical theory differentiates normal from pathological state of a person. Normal refers to the natural design of the species while pathological refers to the disruption of the function of any part of the natural design of the species.
