本文将从美国高等教育的角度来讨论人文学的三种观点。我想指出的是这三种观点之间的联系,以及理解这三种观点对当今研究医学人文学的重要性。这三种人文学观点是:一组学科的观点学生道德培养的观点一个有助益的朋友的观点一组学科的观点我认为当今多数美国大学和医学人文研究机构等都从这个角度来看待人文学。人文学包括了哲学、伦理学、历史、文学、宗教学等学科。社会科学由于采用定性研究方法,所以也通常包括在这组学科中。查阅一下有代表性的美国大学目录和“文科学院”所包括的一些不同院系就会发现这一点。 This article will discuss three perspectives of the humanities from the perspective of American higher education. What I would like to point out is the connection between these three points of view and the importance of understanding these three points of view for today’s medical humanities. These three humanities perspectives are: A set of disciplinary perspectives A student perspectives of moral development A helpful friend’s perspective A set of disciplinary perspectives I think most American universities and medical humanities institutions today view people from this perspective literature. Humanities include philosophy, ethics, history, literature, religion and other disciplines. Social sciences are also often included in this group of disciplines because of their qualitative approach to research. This can be found by examining the representative catalogs of American universities and some of the different faculties included in the “Academy of Liberal Arts.”
