Medicine finds its roots in the humanities: how the current shape of healthcare can learn much from investigating Renaissance perspectives on the human condition, and the manner in which humanists describe this condition. From the article:

We argue that as an origin narrative the studia humanitatis grounds the medical humanities as both an engaged moral practice and pedagogical project. The appeal of origin narratives goes beyond their usefulness in explaining the past; they are equally rooted in their ability to perpetuate values, contextualize the present, and anticipate the future. The historical divergence between the humanities and the sciences is woven into the origin narrative of the studia humanitatis. Rediscovering this narrative has the potential to bridge divisions between these disciplines.
