A new view on the philosophy of medicine (Review of the textbook by N.N. Sedova "Philosophy of Medicine")

N.N. Sedova's textbook "Philosophy of Medicine", intended for specialty students, as well as for graduate students of medical universities, students of DO, DPO and NMFO, is a relevant original and timely work on the analysis of medical activity from the point of view of the humanitarian context of modern scientific knowledge. Along with successes and achievements, today medical knowledge is unsystematized and fragmented, the main focus is not on the ways and methods of managing the internal reserves of a person, but on the creation of more and more new technological prospects and medicines. In medicine, there is no philosophical basis, the presence of which would be able to represent both the general direction of the development of medical theory and practice, and the interpretation of the innovations achieved, their conceptualization.
