The Concept of Humanitarian Medicine as a Fundamental Anthropological Constant

Abstract

The article considers the modern historiographical situation associated with the phenomenon of so called «anthropological turn» in the humanities, as well as the relevance of this issue for medicine as a science of human. The main thesis of the article is to understand the concept of humanitarian medicine as a fundamental anthropological constant of universal culture, held in its development through different stages, but in one form or another has always existed in medicine. Mission of the doctor is to retrieve the integrity of the person being, despite the fact of human suffering, sickness and death as also unavoidable «anthropological constants». Shaping the worldview of modern doctor-healer should be based on the principle of recognition of «another animality», readiness to apply the principles and rules of bioethics in own practice, readiness for a dialogue that will lead to the individualization of medical discourse, creating humanistic concept of the patient as a part of humanitarian medicine.
