molecular biology is now in a dominating position due to having its paradigms firmly rooted in the atomistic theory of contemporary physics. The consequence of this positivistic and mechanistic vision of medicine, upheld principally by molecular biology, represents an obstacle to the humanization progress of medicine to a certain extent.
