The classical and modern trends of interaction between European philosophy and medicine
Abstract
The interaction between European philosophy and medicine during historical periods of the New Time, the Enlightenment era and XX-XXI century is highlighted in the article. Special attention is paid to the influence of research in the world outlook and motivation basis of human activity, conducted by the main philosophers of the classical and modern time; on the formation of theoretical and axiological basis of modern medicine, as well as the concept of interrelation of human’s mental and physiological health. The main aspects of theoretical research in ontology (or metaphysics), gnoseology (epistemology), methodology, social philosophy and ethics connected to medicine theory and practice are also discussed in the article.
