The medical field is becoming the sphere of a quite peculiar confrontation, a sort of test of tension between two different approaches: on one side self-referencing, the concept that the whole set of knowledge and capabilities generated by medical science establishes selfsufficiency of our field; on the other, the quest to broaden our concept of reason overcoming this self-imposed limitation of reason. At stake is the need to overcome the dissatisfaction and the crisis our field is currently going through. This article will go over some aspects of what we believe to be a paradigm of a much general and crucial cultural problem.

Abstract
The medical field is becoming the sphere of a quite peculiar confrontation, a sort of test of tension between two different approaches: on one side self-referencing, the concept that the whole set of knowledge and capabilities generated by medical science establishes selfsufficiency of our field; on the other, the quest to broaden our concept of reason overcoming this self-imposed limitation of reason. At stake is the need to overcome the dissatisfaction and the crisis our field is currently going through. This article will go over some aspects of what we believe to be a paradigm of a much general and crucial cultural problem.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
