Abstracts

EN

The aim of the study is to draw attention to ethical problems in medicine observed in the physician - patient relation. In some cases this relation is characterized by the phenomenon of dehumanization, especially when the patient is treated like an object. It means, among other things, that an economic purpose is more important the patient’s good, his/her health and life. The ethical argumentation of the Polish 19th century School of History, Philosophy and Ethics in Medicine presented in the article postulates subjective treatment of the patient and provision of selfless care and help in disease.
