INTRODUCTION: Central position of physiology (Nobel discipline) in biology, medicine, psychology, philosophy needs creation of philosophical physiology (independently from medical philosophy) incl. not only ethics, but also scientific-theoretical&aesthetic fundamentals. About relation of physiology to anthropology&philosophy is given information to phil. (1-3)&phys. congresses (4-5). CONCEPTION for Discussion: A. EPISTEMOLOGY. An integrative physiology needs enlarged fundamentals in normal&pathological physiology, psycho-neurology (e.g. p.-n.-immunomodulation). Physiological approaches to Chinese-Indian&other traditional medicine in education&research has to be discussed. Reconsideration of physiol. notions acc. to axiology-logic-semantic is recommendable. B. MORAL PHILOSOPHY. Independently from various modern ethical theories (deontology, utilitarism,etc.) has to be considered Kant’s human obligations to himself-physiologists, other humans-patients, sub-human, e.g. reduction of animal experiments, suprahuman beings: moral limits about&applications of physiological practices for investigations of probands&patients in context of theology (Brahmanism-Buddhism/Christianism-Mosaism/Confucianism-Taoism/Mohammedanism). C. AESTHETICS. In relation to A-B interdisciplinary consideration is necessary to destine volume of paradigm-changes in physiology by clinical-physiological investigations leading to pathophysiological & psychopathological effects (primum non nocere). D. PSYCHOSOMATICS. Central philosophical question “What is the Human?”/KANT is since PLATON not answered: He distinguishes physiological and pragmatic anthropology. Human reflects by “pure apperception … from physical determinations independently personality (homo noumenon) …, different to … (homo phenomenon)”. Emperor AKIHITO honoured World Congr.Psychosom.Med. (ICPM-2005-Kobe) by strategical ideas: “total symptoms of mind&body, seeking ways of holistic care … it is extremely important for patients … my hope contributes … the progress of medical science and people’s happiness in the entire world”. CONCLUSION: Establishment of regular common congress-sessions of physiological (IUPS/FEPS etc.) with e.g. philosophical (FISP-ISB-EACME)/psychological (IUPsyS)/medical societies (ISIM-ICC-FIGO-SIU) could open new scientific&political dimension in bio-medical sciences, leading to humanization, higher efficacy & internationalization of science-medicine-ecology in context of UNO-Agenda21 for better health-education, etc. on global level.
