Abstract
In this book on clinical research, the first – most broadly introductory – part (Part I) includes a delineation of our critically-adopted conception of the essence of clinical medicine and, related to this, that of the essence of scientific medicine. And in the framework of these most fundamental concepts, then, we present our answer to the most fundamentally-orientational question about clinical research, namely: What is clinical research for scientific medicine in principle about? We here present an overview of these fundamentally-orientational tenets in our general theory-framework for clinical medicine and clinical research.
