About an Intuition Primacy in the Clinical Medicine

Authors: Kutlumuratov Atabek Bekchanovich

The importance of physician intuition in epistemology of medicine is discussed from positions of philosophical pragmatism and Husserl's phenomenology in this article. Pragmatism reduces essence of scientific knowledge to adequate understanding of person vital interests, and asserts applicability of knowledge for achievement of practical goals as criterion of truth. Phenomenology reduces essence of scientific knowledge to intuitions of the subject essences of thing: consciousness seizes subject relations between things with meanings helping. Our consciousness uses meanings to control subjects’ existence. Husserl's intuitivism implies that primate of signification in modern scientific thinking determines distinctions between empirical and theoretical sciences. Empirical sciences are theorizing objects of material world for making theories similar to real objects; theoretical sciences are theorizing ideal objects, and they select real objects for adequately applying these theories. Reality regions' essences are researching in theoretical and empirical sciences, and each single subject of some area is considered example, which represents the some region. Essence of separate subject is not goal of such sciences. Usually we do not take into consideration intuition as the leading form of mind activity. However, when management by single object becomes goal of cognition, role of intuitions in perception of signification of subject's singularity becomes obvious. Disciplines, which are investigating essences of unique objects, and controllability of them we can define as "practical sciences". This distinguishes them from theoretical and empirical sciences. Humanitarian sciences are practical disciplines. Thus, we can consider combined effect of acts of signification and discretion of essences as important epistemological principle for the modern pragmatism. Perception of patient's individual nature by physician in direct contact with him/her is basic subject of medicine. Physician perceives health nature of each person across all regions of reality. To help to patient a physician uses knowledge of various sciences, and the individual nature of patient, and he researches self-applicability of patient. Physician controls identical semantic perception of the current individual nature of patient by unceasing intuiting during all process doctoring of the patient. Patient’s doctoring is adequately ending, when intuiting of painful essences of patient's individual nature is depleted. At the same time intuition as cognition method works in modern medicine spontaneously. Intuition as the facility of control of rational applying by physician of empiric and theoretic methods almost is not attracting clinical researchers still. We need the serious scientific comprehension of this fact by philosophizing physicians together with medical sciences' researchers and philosophical community
