Features: The human being is the purpose of medicine, and biomedical medicine itself cannot solve the problems related to human nature and human values. Today, our reflections on the purpose of medicine, our critique of the flaws in biomedical medicine, and our so-called inheritance of the humanistic spirit of traditional medicine, will all contribute to establishing a new medical model for the 21st century. Promoting the humanistic spirit of medicine at a new level will be the main theme of medicine in the 21st century. As Nie Jinghe argues, there is reason to believe that the 21st century will be the century of humanistic medicine. The bridge between biomedical medicine and humanistic medicine is medical humanities. This book is a comprehensive treatise on medical humanities, primarily designed to meet the needs of contemporary medical humanities education, and is also suitable for reading by a broad range of medical professionals.
