Abstract

Caplan has argued that the philosophy of medicine does not exist. Although I will not deny the points he makes, I will argue that the philosophy of medicine has characteristics of a developing field with the potential to meet all of Caplan's criteria. The argument is based on Dewey's established views on logical development for a field of inquiry, as well as pointing out how other criteria Caplan imposes can be fulfilled.

摘要

卡普兰认为医学哲学并不存在。虽然我不会否认他提出的观点，但我将论证医学哲学具有一个发展中领域的特征，有潜力满足卡普兰提出的所有标准。这一论证基于杜威对一个探究领域逻辑发展的既定观点，同时也指出卡普兰所提出的其他标准是如何能够得到满足的。
