[[alternative]]Reasons of Compassion: Phenomenological Analysis of Clinical Narratives

[[abstract]]醫學人類學家凱博文(Arthur Kleinman)在《談病說痛－人類的受苦經驗與痊癒之道》中指出，從他一般內科與家醫科的精神醫學諮詢經驗看來，他認為「學習誘發和傾聽病痛敘述是行醫的道德核心」。如果哲學真如伊比鳩魯(Ἐπίκουροζ)所堅信和奉行的，是應具有「醫療性」的——能像醫生治療人的身體一樣醫治人的心靈，那麼哲學想從根源上減輕人的痛苦，就必須能誘發和傾聽人們說出對生命與死亡的焦慮。本文的目的，在於從臨床敘事中看見人類的情感與脆弱性，從中指認出倫理的理由。[[abstract]]Medical anthropologist Arthur Kleinman authored The Illness Narratives: Suffering Healing, and the Human Condition, in which he developed an argument based on his experience of providing psychiatric counseling services in general and family medicine divisions that learning how to elicit and listen to illness narratives is a moral core of medical practitioners. If philosophy is postulated to have medical purposes, as Epicurus argued and practiced, to treat patients' psychological and spiritual illnesses like physicians do for patients' physical illnesses, physicians can adopt philosophy to fundamentally reduce people's pain by eliciting and listening to their narratives concerning the anxiety about life and death. The objective of the present study is to identify people's emotions and fragility through clinical narratives and determine ethical reasoning
