Klinische Forschung im Dienst der Heilkunde: Kontexte, Praxis, Methodik und Theorie des „klinischen Beweises“ von Paul Martini. Beitrag 3: Kausalanalytisch relevante Elemente des klinischen Beweises und epistemologische Kommentare

Abstract

In the third part of our quadripartite series on Paul Martini and his concept of clinical proof we shortly present the mostly procedural elements of his test of treatment. We discuss their causal conduciveness: what do they contribute to infer causality from effect? Finally we comment on some of Martini’s epistemological assumptions and methodological decisions that underpin his method of proof.
