Medicine and Classification of Sciences in Islamic Civilization

This study has sought to describe the place of medicine in classification of sciences in order to show necessary method of attaining scientific degrees in different fields and the way of teaching. As is understood, medicine has always been regarded as a natural science in theoretical philosophy. Though theoretical medicine has been regarded as a ground for practical medicine, given lack of teaching practical medicine, theoretical medicine would be out of theoretical philosophy. The system of medical education, for its worldly essence, therefore, should be established on a religious base to prepare physician`s happiness for the hereafter and be kept against any distortion too.
