Paracelsus was an adventurer in more than one way. We retrace the little that is known about his life and then focus on his adventures in the history of ideas, namely the scientific revolution he brought about for humoral pathology. Following the landmark study of Pagel (1982) we identify two of his conceptions of disease: diseases as fruits and di...

Several professional bodies have developed influential documents which have tried to describe the essential competences of a good doctor. Such an initiative has not been previously conducted in German-speaking countries. Differences between the published statements point towards the significance of differences in the respective sociocultural settin...
Hintergrund: Die Frage nach dem „guten Arzt” wird gegenwärtig sehr häufig gestellt und im internationalen Schrifttum auch systematisch bearbeitet. Dass der (Be-)Ruf des Arztes ins Gerede gekommen ist, kann als Symptom dafür genommen werden, dass sich die Profession ihrer ärztlichen Leitbilder erneut vergewissern muss.

In this context Witten/Herdecke University has implemented an EbM Curriculum for medical students that is closely related to problem-based learning and clinical rotations within the scope of the six-ye...
In der präklinischen Notfallsituation haben ethische Fragen einen besonderen Charakter: Die zu treffenden Entscheidungen sind
durch akuten Handlungsdruck und die meist fehlende Möglichkeit einer Rücksprache mit Kollegen charakterisiert. Daher ist es
um so wichtiger, ethisch problematische Situationen im Vorfeld zu analysieren und dadurch Entscheidu...
2 Vom Schwindel ewiger Gegenwart. Zur Pathologie der Zeit in Thomas Manns Zauberberg Wir halten uns nie an die Gegenwart. Wir nehmen die Zukunft vorweg, die zu langsam kommt, um ihren Lauf zu beschleunigen, oder wir rufen uns die Vergan genheit zurück, die zu rasch vergangen ist, um sie anzuhalten. Wir sind so unklug, daß wir in den Zeiten umherirr...
Perceptions are often merely regarded as the basic elements of knowledge. They have, however, a complex structure of their own and are far from being elementary. My paper will analyze two basic patterns of perception and some of the resulting medical implications.
Most basically, all object perception is characterized by a mixture of knowledge and...
Codes are a well known and popular but weak form of ethical regulation in medical practice. There is, however, a lack of research on the relations between moral judgments and ethical Codes, or on the possibility of morally justifying these Codes. Our analysis begins by showing, given the Nuremberg Code, how a typical reference to natural law has hi...
