摘要：

“MEDICINE begins in philosophy; philosophy ends in medicine” is an aphorism attributed to Aristotle. I like its demand to connect our thinking as physicians with our thinking in other dimensions. I begin by asking the question: If medicine begins in philosophy, what is the philosophy? I do so in the belief that we stand in serious need of revised designs for medical education and that any such designs must be based on an answer to this question. I will develop the thesis that practicing medicine is a kind of problem solving. Physicians help their patients to face, define and solve. © 1979, Massachusetts Medical Society. All rights reserved.
