ELIO-CALVO, Daniel. MEDICINE AND PHILOSOPHY. Rev. Méd. La Paz [online]. 2021, vol.27, n.1, pp.86-92. ISSN 1726-8958.
Philosophy of medicine is an outstanding study field concerning philosophically relevant subjects and problems in medical study and practice. This paper is a first approach, showing the historical context since Hippocratic to present times. Delimitation attempts for specifying the field are shown, from ancient physicians and philosopher's criteria to present primacy of the physician-patient relationship, covering fundamental areas as ontology, epistemology and ethics. Present debate starting the seventies is pointed out, displaying negative, broad and specific tendencies for its consideration as a specific discipline, concluding with the four philosophy of medicine models proposed by Edmund Pellegrino.
