Daniel Weber’s “Introduction to Medical Phi-
losophy” instils faith in the feasibility of inte-
grating holism and reductionism to create a
new paradigm in medicine. As Daniel takes us
through the philosophical foundations that
underpin deductive versus inductive reason-
ing, systems theory and historical notions of
disease, he explains how integrative medicine
isn’t simply adding something to an orthodox
biomedical treatment but involves a synthe-
sis of both traditional and modern approach -
es to medicine. Disease is not just a disorder
of cellular processes and enzymatic activity
in response to a single pathogen – it is a di-
alectic experience of the patient’s symptoms,
environment and cultural attitudes. Drawing
on the best of modern deductive medicine
and traditional inductive medicine, Daniel
offers us a new way of understanding what
we do – and can do – as practitioners. This is
the future of medicine, and this treatise is the
blueprint.
