title = "Does the Philosophy of Medicine Exist: A Reappraisal",
abstract = "In 1992 Arthur Caplan published a paper arguing that the philosophy of medicine did not exist as a field of inquiry. He summarized his argument as follows:Caplan lamented the non-existence of the philosophy of medicine as a field of inquiry since many of the discussion in medical ethics/bioethics rely on contested concepts foundation to medical research and practice that need analysis. He also acknowledged that although there is no {\textquoteleft}philosophy of medicine{\textquoteright}, there is considerable scholarly activity that can be described correctly as {\textquoteleft}philosophy and medicine{\textquoteright}. Philosophy \& Medicine is also the name of the book series in which this chapter is published, and which I co-edit.",
