It provides crucial support for the mutual learning of Chinese and Western medical humanities. The Theory of Valuing Life and Attaining Sagehood resonates with Western bioethics while adding a unique dimension of spiritual self-cultivation; the Theory of Temperament and Human Nature aligns with the precision medicine paradigm and complements the perspective of cultural ethical examination; the Theory of Subject Mutual Benefit firmly opposes the objectification of patients and theoretically expands the Western concept of \"patient-centered care\"; the Theory of Body-State Synchronism integrates individual physical and mental health with collective public well-being, aligning with the core values of contemporary global health governance. As an ideological system deeply embedded in Chinese civilization, it takes the Qi ontology and Yin-Yang balance as its profound metaphysical foundation, constructing a holistic medical humanistic paradigm independent of the Western biomedical model. In the contemporary academic context where medical humanities are moving toward pluralistic coexistence, the value of non-Western medical traditions has attracted increasing scholarly attention. It can not only enrich the Western medical humanistic tradition through cross-cultural dialogue but also provide solid ethical support for the global dissemination and clinical practice of TCM, ultimately realizing two-way mutual learning, complementarity and symbiosis between Eastern and Western medical humanities across cultures.</p>","PeriodicalId":56062,"journal":{"name":"Philosophy Ethics and Humanities in Medicine","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13321590/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148370968","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By incorporating machine learning methods, AI-CDSS promise enhanced predictive accuracy, improved stratification, and innovative individualized care. However, this technological optimism is accompanied by complex ethical challenges, including issues of explainability, trust, autonomy, and data security. At the core of these debates lies the question of responsibility, which involves both its attribution and diffusion, as well as the underlying normative standards guiding moral action. In the context of healthcare practice, responsibility is further complicated by moral diversity-the coexistence of varying moral values, cultural beliefs, and ethical frameworks among healthcare professionals, patients, and institutional stakeholders. This plurality challenges the establishment of a unified normative standard necessary for ethically sound responsibility attribution. This paper offers an analysis of moral diversity and AI-CDSS as a challenge for responsibility in healthcare environments. Using a relational concept of responsibility the study examines key areas in which moral diversity affects responsibility in AI-mediated decision-making. This includes algorithmic bias, healthcare professional and patient interaction and the role of patients. Through these examples, the paper explains how different normative standards intensify ethical complexity in AI-supported clinical contexts. It argues that greater ethical sensitivity to moral diversity is essential-both in the development of AI-CDSS and in their application within morally value-laden healthcare situations.</p>","PeriodicalId":56062,"journal":{"name":"Philosophy Ethics and Humanities in Medicine","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13321450/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148371017","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet within contemporary hospital environments shaped by efficiency demands, digital infrastructures, and performance metrics, the promotion of a patient's personhood cannot be assumed to remain visible or structurally supported. Clinical supervision represents a central site in which professional values are embodied and transferred to the future generation of physicians, yet little is known about how supervisors themselves experience sustaining their own commitments to personhood within this context.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>This study explores how clinical supervisors experience fostering and sustaining the promotion of patient personhood while supervising medical students, interns, and residents in two Swedish university hospitals. Seventeen physicians participated in in-depth semi-structured interviews.

This article explores the potential of Hans-Georg Gadamer’s philosophical hermeneutics as a resource for reorienting physicians toward a more sustainable practice of medicine. The present argument does not propose hermeneutic awareness as a singular solution to burnout, but rather as a conceptual lens through which one important dimension of burnout — the experience of diminished meaning — may be understood. Key elements of Gadamer’s philosophy as outlined in Truth and Method Gadamer (Truth and method (2., rev. ed). Continuum 2003) and The Enigma of Health Gadamer (The enigma of health: The art of healing in a scientific age 1996) are presented here as a conceptual framework, inviting the doctor to reconsider the doctor-patient dialogue from a new horizon—one shaped by a curiosity to know more about the person sitting across from them. Existing scholarship in the phenomenology of medicine has emphasised the interpretive nature of clinical practice; the present article extends this discussion by considering how hermeneutic awareness may also support physician wellbeing through renewed attentiveness to relational and interpretive dimensions of care. Reflective exercises are offered as illustrative applications of Gadamerian concepts within contemporary clinical contexts. While structural causes of burnout require systemic solutions, a hermeneutic perspective highlights how meaning, dialogue, and interpretive attentiveness may remain accessible within everyday clinical encounters. In this way, Gadamer’s philosophy contributes to ongoing efforts within the health humanities to re-articulate medicine as both a scientific and interpretive practice.</p>","PeriodicalId":56062,"journal":{"name":"Philosophy Ethics and Humanities in Medicine","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13227773/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148152357","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
