The Philosophy and Practice of Medicine and Bioethics: A Naturalistic-Humanistic Approach

explores the intersection of philosophy and practical application within medicine and bioethics. The authors argue for a naturalistic-humanistic approach that seeks to redefine how healthcare is practiced and understood, moving beyond the restrictive confines of traditional methods. They delve into the ethical implications of medical decisions and advocate for a more holistic consideration of patient care that emphasizes human experience and well-being.

Through thoughtful analysis, the authors encourage readers to reflect on the assumptions that underpin current medical practices. They provide a critical examination of "evidence-based medicine," suggesting that such frameworks may overlook the subjective aspects of health. This work invites practitioners and scholars alike to embrace a more nuanced and compassionate understanding of medical ethics, ultimately fostering a healthcare environment that prioritizes the dignity and individuality of patients.
