The central entity of medical science is the disease. The focus of medical research is finding treatments for the various diseases patients suffer from. Indeed, if medicine is the science “of” something, it is the science of diseases, seeking to understand how they are created, how they behave, and how they can be controlled. It would seem, therefore, that medicine assumes that there are such things as diseases and that understanding medicine philosophically will require understanding diseases.
