TY - JOUR TI - The virtues of a doctor in Polish medical philosophy and ethics in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries AU - Barański, Jarosław TI - The virtues of a doctor in Polish medical philosophy and ethics in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries AB - Moral reflection on medical behavior, particularly on moral values essential to practicing medicine, first appeared in Poland in the 18th century as part of philosophy of morality and moral science. This practical philosophy inspired by stoicism is, most of all, a catalogue of doctor’s virtues and a theoretical premise for the 20-century medical ethics fully expressed by Władysław Biegański and his medical ethics. The first axiological declarations about moral duties of a doctor, which are the expression of such moral philosophy, are associated with Rafał Józef Czerwiakowski and Wincenty Szczucki.
