Abstract: (3 Views)
Introduction: The discussion surrounding issues and topics in the field of philosophy of medicine remains extensive and challenging. Whether philosophy and medicine, as two distinct sciences, can be considered in a complementary relationship is one of the ongoing debates in this field.
Materials and Methods: This study, using a descriptive and analytical method, seeks to examine two perspectives regarding the nature of philosophy of medicine: The first perspective rejects any genuine connection and commonality between medicine and philosophy, arguing that the factor linking these two fields in the past was the limited scope of knowledge and the possibility of earning a living through the art of medicine. According to this perspective, neither factor can be considered a factor for their connection in the contemporary era. In contrast, the second perspective believes that this connection is entirely real and necessary. Philosophy as an absolute science is not useful, while modern medicine, due to the emergence of a crisis of inefficiency, also requires fundamental internal reforms. in addition, contemporary humans, due to the feeling of power resulting from technology, has tendency broad inclination towards liberalism and the removal of unreasonable restrictions on individual. freedom.
Conclusion: This issue causes the formation of an organicist perspective encompassing all individual and social dimensions of human life. The dominance of this perspective in medicine has cast doubt on the foundations of the biomedical model and considers the bio-psycho-social model of medicine and even spiritual approaches, as a proposal and alternative in future medicine. |
