Hermeneutic Analysis of Transcendental Medicine Theory and its Application in Deep Medicine from the Perspective of Islamic Medicine Paradigm

Abstract

The principles of Islamic medicine are still unknown. Although various studies about Islamic medicine have been carried out, the philosophical foundations and framework of the theorizing of it have not yet been elucidated. Some of theorists have explored transcendental medicine theory (TMT) and its application in deep medicine paradigm. For studying of theoretical framework of the TMT, the present article attempts to identify the principles and norms of Islamic medicine by studying the historical and semantic aspects of it and to introduce its paradigmatic dimensions. Finally, this article studies the position of TMT in the paradigm of Islamic medicine. Historical and semantic methods have been used to carry out this research. The hermeneutic approaches and the interpretation of the text have also been used to describe the theoretical framework of TMT. The results of this study show that the Muslim physician has always tried to use the latest and most effective medical tools, methods and principles based on scientific approach within the eth-ical and religious foundations of religion, and has always used the most material elements of medicine, and uses a spiritual and divine interpretation of essence of that elements and all of the cosmos.
