ABSTRACT

However, such a historic shift in our cultural perspective requires a deeper understanding of what health is. So far such an evolving health perspective has grown as a subculture phenomenon through self-help groups, complementary medicine, holistic clinics and personal health consciousness. It has made little headway in the academic world. For this reason the ‘Think Tank’ on the New Science of Health was held at Louvain-la-Neuve, and this book was compiled.
