This volume presents an innovative look at early modern medicine
and natural philosophy as historically interrelated developments.
The individual chapters chart this interrelation in a variety of
contexts, from the Humanists who drew on Hippocrates, Galen, and
Aristotle to answer philosophical and medical questions, to medical
debates on the limits and power of mechanism, and on to
eighteenth-century controversies over medical materialism and
'atheism.' The work presented here broadens our understanding of
both philosophy and medicine in this period by illustrating the
ways these disciplines were in deep theoretical and methodological
dialogue and by demonstrating the importance of this dialogue for
understanding their history. Taken together, these papers argue
that to overlook the medical context of natural philosophy and the
philosophical context of medicine is to overlook fundamentally
important aspects of these intellectual endeavors.
