摘要

尽管药物是医学的中心，但它们并不容易定义。我们介绍了两个基本定义的医学药物需求。它应该：（a）捕获医学背景下被认为是药物的一切，（b）排除任何不被认为是毒品的东西。在研究了一系列选择后，我们发现没有一个单一的药物定义可以同时满足这两种需求。最后，我们对药物概念的探索做出了三个回应：维持一个一元论概念，或者从两个多元结果中选择一个。值得注意的是，药物和其他物质之间的区别受到了最合理的选择的压力。

On Drugs.

Despite their centrality to medicine, drugs are not easily defined. We introduce two desiderata for a basic definition of medical drugs. It should: (a) capture everything considered to be a drug in medical contexts and (b) rule out anything that is not considered to be a drug. After canvassing a range of options, we find that no single definition of drugs can satisfy both desiderata. We conclude with three responses to our exploration of the drug concept: maintain a monistic concept, or choose one of two pluralistic outcomes. Notably, the distinction between drugs and other substances is placed under pressure by the most plausible of the options available.

期刊介绍： This bimonthly publication explores the shared themes and concerns of philosophy and the medical sciences. Central issues in medical research and practice have important philosophical dimensions, for, in treating disease and promoting health, medicine involves presuppositions about human goals and values. Conversely, the concerns of philosophy often significantly relate to those of medicine, as philosophers seek to understand the nature of medical knowledge and the human condition in the modern world. In addition, recent developments in medical technology and treatment create moral problems that raise important philosophical questions. The Journal of Medicine and Philosophy aims to provide an ongoing forum for the discussion of such themes and issues.
