Negli ultimi trent'anni si è assistito ad un grande dibattito, sviluppatosi fondamentalmente negli Stati Uniti d'America, e volto a stabilire l'esistenza stessa della Filosofia della medicina (FDM) e a definire la sua natura e il suo specifico ambito d'indagine. Il presente articolo si propone come un esame critico dello sviluppo della FDM come disciplina, evidenziando in particolare due dei maggiori temi del dibattito contemporaneo: lo scopo della disciplina e la sua relazione con le discipline affini, non da ultima la bioetica. Sottolineando l'importanza di una FDM che si presenti come uno studio sistematico della dimensione ontologia, logica ed etica della medicina intesa come prassi clinica, l'Autore mette in luce quale contributo fondamentale può offrire la disciplina nella comprensione della natura della medicina e dei fini dell'atto medico.
----------
In the last thirty years there has been a great debate, fundamentally developed in the United States of America, and aimed to establish the existence itself of the Philosophy of the medicine (FDM) and to define its nature and its specific field of inquiry. The present article is a critical examination of the development of the FDM as a discipline, highlighting particularly two major themes in the contemporary debate: the scope of the discipline and its relation to cognate disciplines, not last bioethics. Underlining the importance of FDM to be a systematic study of the ontological, logical and ethical dimension of medicine as clinical praxis, the Author shows what fundamental contribution the discipline can offer in the understanding of the nature of medicine and the ends of medical act.
