| Summary: | Explicates a medical-pastoral paradigm in terms of eight “polar unities”: natural science/theology; person/organism; efficient/teleological causality; multivocal/univocal language; quantitative/qualitative concerns; meaning/technical interventions; description/value; validation of intervention effectiveness. Suggests that these varieties of approaches may be illustrated in the ancient Oriental Yin-Yang symbol which includes the kind of “polar unity” implicit in a modern medical center. |
