Menodotus of Nicomedia (II AD) has usually been considered as one
of the most important among the physicians of the so-called Greek
Empirical school, as well as, according to an-cient testimonies, a
leading figure of Skepticism and, at least until mid-20th century,
a fore-runner of modern experimental science. This book offers the
first scientific monograph en-tirely devoted to an empirical
doctor, together with a collection of fragments in the form of a
"running commentary." In the resulting frame, a more reliable
historical position is re-covered for Menodotus (and, through him,
for the last development of Greek empirical medicine), and the
usual picture is substantially altered. Main lines of the work are
the problem of sources, which can be identified almost exclusively
with the famous doctor Galen, and of their trustworthiness; the
misunderstood role of Menodotus as a source of Galen for his
picture of Empiricism; the mutual relationship between the concepts
of reason and experience, and the problematical acceptance of the
former into the empirical doctrine; the relationship of Menodotus
to his forerunners, not only inside the school but also in the
post-Aristotelian history of medicine and philosophy, starting from
Diocles of Carystus and up to Heraclides of Tarentum and to the
Epicureanism of Philodemus. The Introduction tries a.o. to
understand the role of Greek Empiricism in the history of science.
The book also contains a detailed bibliography and five Indexes, as
well as an Epilegomenon, in which the authenticity of some works of
Galen concerning Empiricism is discussed.
