dc.description.abstractThis thesis examines to what extent the thought of the philosophers Michel Foucault, Giorgio Agamben and Roberto Esposito on biopolitics can be useful for examining the history of healthcare. The main argument is that their analysis of the relation between power and life may provide a new, original and fruitful perspective for historians. I explicate the thought of these philosophers with regard to biopolitics, analyse how it can be applied to the history of healthcare and determine to what extent a useful framework for the history of healthcare can be constructed on the basis of it.en_US
