Abstract :

When a paradigm starts to show signs of failure to cope with significant questions in any basic/applied branch of human knowledge, there come on the scene those who have perused the related literature enough to either answer those major questions according to the established paradigm or proffer a (wholly) new way of looking at things. In the latter case, the history of science tells us, a paradigm shift takes place. Modern medicine cannot be proven to be totally disconnected from its traditional roots. Where traditional medicine came to give its place to present-day conventional medicine, a number of humanistic aspects of healing in addition to some axioms of olden wisdom were actually lost. Employing a personalized strategy by taking into account the patient�s specific conditions, Integrative Medicine (IM) endeavours to apply all appropriate interventions from a whole set of science branches to bring back health. However, this does not remain fully without its own challenges from almost all sides. Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) on one hand, and Evidence Based Medicine (EBM), on the other, have their own rightful say in the affair. Delving deep into the details of medical history�s ups and downs, and examining �from the philosophy of medicine�s and philosophy of science�s standpoint� the pros and cons of integrative medicine, this present treatise makes a systemic, inter-disciplinary effort to put forward the best possible paradigmatology in a methodical way as far as the demands of society are concerned.

Biography :

Having finished the high school period with an O-Level degree in mathematics and exact sciences, and A-Level diploma in Biology and Natural sciences, he ( Reza Sanaye ) went for three quarters of theoretical physics college education before he shifted to starting a full 5-year period of eleven semesters for receiving his agronomic engineering degree. As for “Master”, he was honored by a degree in philosophy of Sciences. He is a specialist in comparing the philosophy of technology and applied sciences with that of theoretical sciences. All throughout the proceedings of the Iranian National Conference on “The Comprehensive Psycho-physical Health Agenda”, Reza Sanayeh acted as the Governing Scientist to the debate panels of the said seminar where he received the certificate with the doctoral degree for his concentration during the three years prior to (and inclusive of) 2011 on a variety of novel designs for clinical trials integrating mind and body ailments’ investigations. Despite the fact that he has almost always preferred to stand at the arrowhead of designing research and investigation in various circles of humanities and science, he also has under his belt many years of teaching linguistics, languages, pure philosophy, philosophy of science, philosophy of medicine, psychology, psychoanalysis, and experimental designs.
