Stempsey - 2004 - Medicine, Health Care and Philosophy 7 (3):243-251.details This paper is a criticalexamination of the development of thephilosophy of medicine as a discipline. Ithighlights two major themes in the contemporarydebate about the philosophy of medicine: thescope of the discipline and the relation of thediscipline to its cognate disciplines.

Beyond evidence-based medicine: bridge-building a medicine of meaning.S. Buetow - 2002 - Journal of Evaluation in Clinical Practice 8 (2):103-108.details Contesting that a debate on evidence-based health care has taken place, this article charts three paths to the future: continuing avoidance of debate by proponents of evidence-based medicine (EBM); conflict, which the EBM movement courts and critics have espoused, and dialogue.

In search of integration, I sketch a bridge whose construction requires not compromise but a win- win approach. The (...) Download Export citation Bookmark 9 citations
