Abstract

In this chapter, cases of free and unlimited thinking on philosophical grounds are explained more, and there is a close connection between philosophy and medicine. In addition, the philosophy of medicine and the ways of understanding the concepts of philosophy are explained with an emphasis on its possible relationship with medicine, especially bioethics. There are always unknowns about the disease and health, and it has been explained that no matter how much the philosophical principles try to come up with approximate rational solutions, they always remain in uncertainty, albeit marginally. It is stated that the philosophy of medicine is a branch of philosophy that explores issues in theory, research and practice in the field of health sciences. Before any explanation, from the very beginning, the etymological and epistemological features of “philosophy” and “science” help the reader to grasp the contents of this book. A set of recommendations are given in the form of systematic information to a thinker to provide dynamism towards more productive and generative directions.
