Abstract

The article denotes philosophical and theoretical-methodological problems linked to the integration of medical systems. They are reviewed based on the achievements of members of Stanford School for the philosophy of science. Using the optics of this group, the author concludes that the main field for the integration of medical systems could be not the spheres of recognized and well-established medical knowledge but its problematic points. The possibilities for medical systems integration are reviewed in three dimensions: transdisciplinarity, transacademicism and transinstitutionality.
