Towards a healthy concept of health.
This chapter focused on the One Health approach, its definition as well as implications of the definition, what 'One' implies in terms of trans- and interdisciplinarity, and how to define 'Health' within the One health approach.
Abstract
Abstract This chapter focused on the One Health approach, its definition as well as implications of the definition. In order to aim for a 'healthy' concept one always needs to analyse how the concept is defined and where the boundaries to other concepts are. In everyday work, many crucial concepts such as health are not explicitly defined, rather one uses an implicit working definition. However, in dilemmas when one needs to think whether a certain state belongs to health or not, one needs to start thinking of the explicit definition of the concept of health. Thus, the concept analysis will focus on different definitions of the One Health approach, what 'One' implies in terms of trans- and interdisciplinarity, and how to define 'Health' within the One Health approach.
