Rudolf Virchow a społeczne nauki stosowane AB - „Medicine is a social science, and politics is nothing else than medicine on a large scale”: Rudolf Virchow and applied social sciences The present article discusses the influence on the development of applied sciences exerted by Rudolf Virchow (1821–1902) – a German physician, pathologist, anthropologist and political activist, who is considered the father of Public Health and Social Medicine. His research on medical aspects of poverty lead him to conclusion that radical solutions are needed in providing medical care, but also in education and public policies. The main stress is put on the social dimension of Virchow’s thinking and its impact on practice.  VL - 2019 IS - Tom 24, Numer 4 PY - 2019 SN - 1507-4285 C1 - 2449-6138 SP - 245 EP - 252 DO - 10.4467/24496138ZPS.19.021.12005 UR - https://ejournals.eu/czasopismo/zeszyty-pracy-socjalnej/artykul/medycyna-jest-nauka-spoleczna-a-polityka-to-nic-innego-jak-medycyna-na-szeroka-skale-rudolf-virchow-a-spoleczne-nauki-stosowane KW - Virchow KW - medicine KW - poverty KW - public policy KW - applied social sciences
