Ancient Greek medical ethics is an important part of ancient Greek medicine.Ancient Greek medical ethics was rooted in the soil of ancient Greek culture and philosophical thoughts,reflected in the medical practice at that time,and had a rich ideological content.The first chapter preface introduces the research purpose of the thesis is based on the consideration of the medical status of our country,aiming to solve the practical problems.In recent years,we may have had to go through hospitals for medical treatment and were forced to accept over-examinations by doctors and drugs.Some doctors received red envelopes and rebates.They had poor treatment attitudes,lack of awareness of service,and long-term tensions between doctors and patients,and could not be resolved effectively.The research significance of the paper,in terms of theoretical value,can provide positive reference for the development of human philosophy,religion and ethical thoughts,enrich the theoretical research of moral philosophy;second,it can promote the medical service life,enjoy health,improve the quality of life,and enrich The study of human life value theory;the third is to deepen the study of medical humanistic thoughts and tap the humanistic spirit of ancient Greek medical philosophers.In terms of practical significance,one can improve people's perception of medical ethics,the second is to give a revelation to the construction of a harmonious doctor-patient relationship,and the third is to promote the development of contemporary higher medical humanities education.Domestic and foreign thoughts on medical ethics in ancient Greece mainly focused on the study of Hippocrates' medical ethics.There were few in-depth excavations of medical ethics of Greek medical scientists and philosophers and lack of systematic research on the medical ethics of ancient Greek medical scientists.There is little mention of theoretical systematics,ideological connotations and contemporary values.The second chapter analyzes the origin of the ancient Greek medical ethics.In the historical origins,the special Mediterranean environment of ancient Greece has given people an open character of advancement,adventure,and ethnic enrichment.Ancient Greek city-state democracy has guaranteed the spirit of people's pursuit of freedom.People exchange their wealth and wisdom.Material exchanges have promoted the collision of ideas.Medicine and its ideas have also been formed and developed because of this special social and historical environment.In religious origins,when the ancient Greeks suffered disease,they would attribute the cause to demon possession.At this time,the witch doctor played the role of doctor.In the early days of ancient Greece,the disease was also treated as a punishment of God.The most typical form is the worship of the medical god Aesculapius.In philosophy origins,ancient Greek philosophers were also natural scientists.They tried to discover the original of the world in the movements of natural phenomena and things to get a regular understanding: oneness and many changes and the same.These two pairs of contradictions have produced four positions: one is change,the other is unchanging,constant,and varied.The third chapter analyzes the content of the ancient Greek medical ethics:During the pre-Hippocrates period,Pythagoras advocated harmony and order,thinking that the doctor should have a cleansing soul;Alkmaon believes that complete harmony.That is health,doctors should draw conclusions from empirical observations;Empedocles also believes that practicing medicine requires empirical observation,and that doctors should diagnose disease through mutual contact and control.In the Hippocrates period,the basic characteristics of his medicine were based on natural sciences,formed experiences with observations,were logical and reasonable,and must have noble medical ethics as a guide.The Hippocrates Collection contains more explanations about medical ethics and standardizes physician's instrumentation,language,conduct,education and other aspects.It is the highest achievement of ancient Greek medical ethics.In the post-Hippocrates period,Socrates,Plato,Aristotle and others were all great Greek philosophers.In their philosophical thoughts,they could extract more abundant medical ethics.Socrates regards self-knowledge,goodness,self-control,bravery,and respect as the virtues that a doctor should possess;Plato believes that the purpose of medicine is to bring health.Good doctors should have a good education,rich experience,and be patient with the patient.Not greed for money,think that accepting bribes is a doctor's evil;Aristotle believes that the purpose of medicine is good,the nature of medical science is to pursue health,doctors should have a rational and unbiased spirit,and respect the rights of patients;Alexandria The medicine complements the system of Hippocrates,perfects the medical foundation,and believes that medicine must be studied zealously,against air theory,and eager for medical practice.The fourth chapter analyzes the content of ancient Greek medical ethics,and summarizes five core values: one is the health department,emphasizes the practice of medicine;the second is the principle of altruism and respects the rights of patients;the third is equal treatment and never seek private treatment.The fourth is to establish the industry and assume social responsibilities.The fifth is to learn lifelong and improve the level of medical technology.There are three aspects of contemporary value: one is the influence on the cognition of contemporary medical professional ethics;the second is the enlightenment of contemporary harmonious doctor-patient relationship;the third is the improvement of contemporary higher medical humanities education,including its integration into the medical ethics curriculum system,and the introduction of clinical Practice teaching,forming the concept of medical ethics core values integrated into the medical school values building.The historical limitations of ancient Greek medical ethics have three aspects: one is the limitation of natural philosophy,the other is the limitation of medical technology theory,and the third is the challenge to medical humanitarianism.Constructing a harmonious relationship between doctors and patients is an important aspect of building a harmonious society and improving the well-being of people,and it is in line with the laws of the historical development of human society.The dissertation hopes to study the ancient Greek medical ethics and provide a useful reference for alleviating the tension between doctors and patients in our country.It will guide medical workers to handle the relationship between doctors and patients.At the same time,the medical ethics of ancient Greece will be included in the medical ethics curriculum system to make medical students form The correct medical ethics core values are transformed into emotional recognition and behavior habits,and the emerging correct medical ethics values are used to analyze and deal with the new problems brought about by rapid development,and to guide medical workers to remember the original intentions,keep in mind the mission,and serve the patients wholeheartedly.For the health of mankind.
