Abstract
Based on Max Weber's theory of disenchantment, this paper investigates the logical process of medical disenchantment. After disenchantment, modern medicine has not only made brilliant achievements, but also produced many serious medical problems. So, it is the only reenchantment way for modern medicine to make value laws for medical tool rationality and to cultivate and maintain the sacred and noble sense to medicine.
