To what extent can postmodern developments be observed in modern medicine and which theories of postmodern philosophy can we draw on with regard to medicine's theoretical problem? This article explores these questions with special emphasis on the epistemological status of medicine, the concept of disease, and the anthropological model. It is examined whether medicine's inherent duty to act can be questioned in the light of the plurality that characterizes postmodernity. It is concluded that, according to postmodern philosophy, medicine should be characterized by a justified variety of paradigms. Cooperation within the variety must continue to be guaranteed, always in favor of the constitutive moral duty of medicine.
后现代的发展在现代医学中能在多大程度上被观察到？关于医学的理论问题，我们可以借鉴后现代哲学的哪些理论？本文探讨这些问题，特别强调医学的认识论地位、疾病概念和人类学模型。根据后现代性所具有的多元性，审视医学内在的行动义务是否会受到质疑。结论是，根据后现代哲学，医学应以各种合理的范式为特征。必须始终保障多元范式之间的合作，这一切都应有利于医学的构成性道德义务。
