The idea of anthropocentrism is a key marker of the state of medical theory and practice in the technocratic society of the twenty-first century and demonstrates the global reflection of human society on its axiological attitudes.
Aim. The paper aims at theoretical and methodological analysis of the paradigmatic dimensions of anthropocentrism in pediatric surgery.
The theoretical basis of the study was formed by philosophical concepts of anthropocentric orientation, modern scientific substantiation of the problems of deontology and medical education. The methodology of the study was determined by the cultural approach based on the use of philosophical hermeneutics (interpretation of texts). The method of extrapolation allowed the use of philosophical heritage to analyze contemporary deontological issues. The method of synergetics provided an integrating function. The methods of analysis, synthesis, and generalization determined the logic of our scientific research.
Anthropocentrism is one of the leading trends in philosophy, which, at different historical stages, from ancient times to the present, defines topical issues, including deontological ones. Subject-object relations in medicine are relations in the “person-to-person” and “healthcare professional-to-patient” systems. The current and most realistic model is the contractual model, in which pediatric surgeons, parents of patients, and patients themselves establish relationships that are most acceptable to all participants in the treatment process.
Conclusions. The obtained results provide a more advanced level of analysis of both general and specific cognitive interests and preferences of pediatric surgery professionals from the angle of cognitions that characterize the discourse of the idea of anthropocentrism. The practical significance of the study is determined by the possibility of using the material of the paper in teaching deontological disciplines and as a factor that motivates medical students to scientific and worldview reflection.
