Abstract:
Henri Bergson,a prominent figure in the philosophy of life,advocates a generative view of life.His philoso-phy robustly underpins the actualization of individual life's social value and focuses on the shared interests of individual lives,re-plete with compassion and love.Bergson's intuitive approach to the experience of life and death offers a unique ethical perspec-tive for individuals to reinterpret and grasp their own existence.Through the lenses of life philosophy,life view,and the philoso-phy of life and death,this paper posits that life philosophy reflects an ethical extension of the essence of the doctor-patient rela-tionship.It awakens life consciousness,providing substantial support for the social value realization between doctors and patients.The philosophy of life fosters survival capabilities,highlighting the unique attribute of shared interests within the doctor-patient dynamic.Furthermore,it ignites intrinsic motivation,uncovering the ethical key to a renewed understanding and appreciation of life.At the same time,drawing on the practical experience of a hospital in Tianjin in managing doctor-patient conflicts,this pa-per proposes several approaches to building a harmonious doctor-patient relationship.These means include strengthening empa-thetic communication between doctors and patients to deliver precise medical services,dialectically and objectively addressing medicine to manage patient expectations effectively,emphasizing the cultivation of humanistic literacy to facilitate the integration of humanities into medicine,and establishing a robust medical system to fortify the community of shared interests.
