During the postwar period, European societies were increasingly medicalized. Medicine was
extended to all spheres of social life: health became an implicit or explicit right, health care
accessible to (almost) everybody, medicines a medico-industrial complex, and medical
advances critical to both utopian and dystopian visions. Medical sciences and institutions
(e.g. the pharmaceutical revolution, psychiatric reforms etc.) played a central role in
imagining the future. However, life sciences often nourished radically new (utopian)
conceptions of living, cohabitation, and self-realization. Ideals, goals, and objectives may
have been different on each side of post war Europe but what was shared was the common
concern for life and limb of their respective populations. The Budapest team will examine
how ethical and legal policies reflect differences and similarities in the East and in the West.
We shall focus on specific elements of the legal system, such as, right to health, principle of
autonomy, principle of non-commodification.
In our first Budapest workshop we intend to develop collaborations and focusing on the
context of the socialist health care and medicine through some selected themes. We plan to
organize regular workshops on the themes of the Leviathan Project.
