Many problems emanate from the modern science and technology that laid the foundation for modern medicine. They generally tend to lose whole system or balances compared with previous period. Even in the most advanced sphere of medicine we encounter the limits of modern science in two directions which we will examine as follows. First, we should restore the real definition of illness which appears to have been lost in modern medicine, second, to retrieve the wholeness of mankind from the dualism of humans having separate dimensions of mind and body. When we talk about the idea of illness, we ought to presume simultaneously what health is, or what health means, and not be allowed to illness as an exceptional issue with regared to health. For we have a gift for spontaneous recovery as Hippocrates once commented. Moreover, we must clarify the biological and philosophical structure of life itself and flou mind effort in the area of preventive medicine. All human illness must be based on the idea of "mind-body interaction" only on which healing could be realized. Particularly we must appreciate the patient as a real individual to whom philosopher since Descartes could not attain in proper meaning, because even the same disease appears with different symptoms in different patients. In order to closely new aspects of real individuals, we should evaluate the ethical relationship between patient and physician in which dialogue plays an important role, and narrative contexts or temporal axis for this purpose are very valuable J. Dewy mentioned that morality is a continuing process not a fixed achievement.
