Abstract
The paper deals with the field of scientific and philosophical research in the context of human health. The first part briefly describes how philosophy works, how science proceeds, how these approaches differ from each other and, moreover, what they have in common.
Several unusual ideas of representatives of the philosophy of science are also presented, who point out some limits of the set scientific methods. The second part is devoted to two specific concepts that might be encountered in modern healthcare.
The first is the concept of evidence-based medicine (EBM), the second is the concept of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). The aim of the paper is to approach both areas and thus point out the possible directions of development of philosophy and science in the field of human health.
