Abstract
The fieldwork in medical philosophy aims at the innovation of the whereabouts of the meaning occurrence and the reasoning process. The fieldworker searches for the structure of the daily life of oneself who has lived for a long time. He reflects on the meaning system of his daily life, and searches for a contact point with some different meaning system. The fieldwork in medical philosophy is inward. It is to search the base layer of the research object and the researcher. It is to clear identities which are the standard of the value judgment. The researcher must avoid by the existing organization, the part and the name from what he thinks about with the medical spot and the member. It is a problem like a principle whether what it is, and depends on the meaning system. Research reports can often be warped by the readers' meaning structure. It is a political problem. If the researcher controls his work in accordance with the existing definition with the medical treatment, nursing, doctor, nurse etc., it will mean the death of thinking .
