Holistic Medicine: Holistic, Humanistic and Musical

Abstract

Kuang-Ming Wu

Since technical treatment of holistic medicine lands it in an odd “specific holism,” this paper considers holistic medicine in holistic humanistic way. This paper shows that holistic health as necessary is incoherent, and so holistic medicine is impossible; such indispensable impossibility calls us to music. First, the paper explains holistic medicine as indispensable against separatist specialties (A), and then (B) elucidates holistic medicine as incoherent, and (C) takes such oddity as a wakeup call. Finally, we realize (D) this call as a call to living music that we are.
