How or what were doctors in the Renaissance trained to think, and
how did they interpret the evidence at their disposal for making
diagnoses and prognoses? This 2001 book addresses these questions
in the broad context of the world of learning: its institutions,
its means of conveying and disseminating information, and the
relationship between university faculties. The uptake by doctors
from the university arts course - the foundation for medical
studies - is examined in detail, as are the theoretical and
empirical bases for medical knowledge, including its concepts of
nature, health, disease and normality. Logic, Signs and Nature in
the Renaissance ends with a detailed investigation of semiotic,
which was one of the five parts of the discipline of medicine, in
the context of the various versions of semiology available to
scholars. From this survey, Maclean makes an interesting assessment
of the relationship of Renaissance medicine to the new science of
the seventeenth century.
