Epistemology of Civilised Man Diseases

K.S. Khroutski

Keywords: Russian cosmism, philosophical cosmology, wholistic ontology, cosmist epistemology, CosmoBiotypology, individual's health, etiogenesis of chronic diseases

In this exploration author aims to approach near the cognisance of 'single cause' etiogenesis of chronic noninfectious and nontraumatic diseases. To reach this end he necessarily attempts to ground modern biomedicine in higher order-'cosmist'-philosophical (cosmological, ontological, epistemological) principles. Working on this basis, author pushes forward, with respect to the epistemology of civilised man diseases (CMD), his chief proposition that CMD arise from the excess amount of intrinsic creative-psychophysiological-energy, not having been utilised during current man's vital activity. In outcome, author advances an epistemological classification of the etiogenesis of modern diseases and originates 5 stages of the universal etiopathogenesis of modern chronic noninfectious and nontraumatic diseases (civilised man diseases).
