TL;DR: A less analytic and more wholistic approach to philosophy, described as ‘best overall fit’ or ‘seeing how things all hang together,’ is defended in recent works by John Rawls and Richard Rorty and can usefully be applied to problems in philosophy of medicine.
Abstract: A less analytic and more wholistic approach to philosophy, described as ‘best overall fit’ or ‘seeing how things all hang together,’ is defended in recent works by John Rawls and Richard Rorty and can usefully be applied to problems in philosophy of medicine. Looking at sickness and its impact upon the person as a central problem for philosophy of medicine, this approach discourages a search for necessary and sufficient conditions for being sick, and instead encourages a listing of “true and interesting observations” about sickness which reflect the convergence of a number of different viewpoints. Among the relevant viewpoints are other humanities disciplines besides philosophy and the social sciences. Literature, in particular, provides insights into the meaning and the uniqueness of episodes of sickness in a way that philosophers may otherwise fail to grasp.

TL;DR: The authors developed three focal propositions taking the concept of "theory" to inherently require observations and inquiries different in purpose and nature from thought which constitutes the norm for the fields of guidance and counseling, and of differential education for the gifted.
Abstract: The author develops three focal propositions taking the concept of “theory” to inherently require observations and inquiries different in purpose and nature from thought which constitutes the norm for the fields of guidance and counseling, and of differential education for the gifted. In the discussions of these respective propositions, background references from the literature on the substantive fields (guidance and differential education for the gifted) are reflectively considered in the light of relevant concepts from supporting disciplines, mainly philosophy, psychology and sociology. The effort on the whole is to offer selected viewpoints which will be meaningful and applicable as appropriate linkages between “systematic theory” on one hand, and “sensible practice” on the other.
