title: [Health and illness from the viewpoint of natural sciences. The scientific basis of medicine].
abstract: The scientific modes of thought and operation (scientification of factual experience) is first described as the rational basis of modern medicine. Delimitation from other views becomes hereby a necessity. The descriptions of the bionomic organism which is subjected to the highest degree to specific rules of order and organisation of its relation to the environment and of man as living being follow. Disorders in organisms are described as relative imperfections of biologic order or as inappropriate or deficient adaptation to the environment. Diseases are thus regarded as events of nature.
