Abstract
The first part of an issue devoted to Alex Broadbent's essay titled "Prediction, Understanding, and Medicine," this article notes the under-development of a variety of issues in the philosophy of medicine that transcend bioethics and the longstanding debates about the nature of health/illness and of evidence-based medicine. It also indicates the importance of drawing on non-Western, and particularly African, traditions in addressing these largely metaphysical and epistemological matters.
