內容簡介: |
Galen of Pergamum AD 129–c.216 was the most influential doctor
of later antiquity, whose work was to influence medical theory and
practice for more than fifteen hundred years. He was a prolific
writer on anatomy, physiology, diagnosis and prognosis,
pulse-doctrine, pharmacology, therapeutics, and the theory of
medicine; but he also wrote extensively on philosophical topics,
making original contributions to logic and the philosophy of
science, and outlining a scientific epistemology which married a
deep respect for empirical adequacy with a commitment to rigorous
rational exposition and demonstration. He was also a vigorous
polemicist, deeply involved in the doctrinal disputes among the
medical schools of his day. This volume offers an introduction to
and overview of Galen''s achievement in all these fields, while
seeking also to evaluate that achievement in the light of the
advances made in Galen scholarship over the past thirty years.
