Early Modern Medicine and Natural Philosophy (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2016): Peter Distelzweig, Benjamin Goldberg, Evan R. Ragland Early Modern Medicine and Natural Philosophy (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2016)

R3,472 Discovery Miles 34 720 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

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.

Making Physicians - Tradition, Teaching, and Trials at Leiden University, 1575-1639 (Hardcover): Evan R. Ragland Making Physicians - Tradition, Teaching, and Trials at Leiden University, 1575-1639 (Hardcover)

How did medical students become Galenic physicians in the early modern era? Making Physicians guides the reader through the ancient sources, textbooks, lecture halls, gardens, dissecting rooms, and patient bedsides in the early decades of an important medical school. Standard pedagogy combined book learning and hands-on experience. Professors and students embraced Galen's models for integrating reason and experience, and cultivated humanist scholarship and argumentation, which shaped their study of chymistry, medical botany, and clinical practice at patients' bedsides, in private homes and in the city hospital. Following Galen's emphasis on finding and treating the sick parts, professors correlated symptoms and the evidence from post-mortems to produce new pathological knowledge.
