Presented by Joey Tuminello (Assistant Professor of Philosophy at McNeese State University)

Abstract

In this presentation, Gadamerian philosophical hermeneutics is applied to identify and examine interpretations of the ontological categories of ‘food’ and ‘drugs’ in allopathic medicine, psychology, and psychiatry, unearthing the implicit interpretive modes in these views to draw attention to emerging patterns of interpretation.
