Book excerpt: 'This book should be available to every medical student embarking upon his clinical studies. Galen encompasses the best Hippocratic teaching; his didactic system loses none of its quality because his theories of physiology are erroneous. Galen applied his mind to the problems of illness, whereas we tend greatly to use illness to demonstrate our technological achievement.'South African Medical Journal

Book Synopsis On the Natural Faculties by : Claudius Galen
Download or read book On the Natural Faculties written by Claudius Galen and published by Dalcassian Publishing Company. This book was released on 2019-12-07 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Galen of Pergamon, was a prominent Roman physician, surgeon and philosopher. The most accomplished of all medical researchers of antiquity, Galen contributed greatly to the understanding of numerous scientific disciplines, including anatomy, physiology, pathology, pharmacology, and neurology, as well as philosophy and logic. Galen's understanding of anatomy and medicine was principally influenced by the then current theory of humorism, as advanced by many ancient Greek physicians such as Hippocrates. His theories dominated and influenced Western medical science for more than 1,300 years. Medical students continued to study Galen's writings until well into the 19th century. Galen conducted many nerve ligation experiments that supported the theory, which is still accepted today that the brain controls all the motions of the muscles by means of the cranial and peripheral nervous systems.

Book Synopsis Body and Soul in Hellenistic Philosophy by : Brad Inwood
Download or read book Body and Soul in Hellenistic Philosophy written by Brad Inwood and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-06-11 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Philosophers and doctors from the period immediately after Aristotle down to the second century CE were particularly focussed on the close relationships of soul and body; such relationships are particularly intimate when the soul is understood to be a material entity, as it was by Epicureans and Stoics; but even Aristotelians and Platonists shared the conviction that body and soul interact in ways that affect the well-being of the living human being. These philosophers were interested in the nature of the soul, its structure, and its powers. They were also interested in the place of the soul within a general account of the world. This leads to important questions about the proper methods by which we should investigate the nature of the soul and the appropriate relationships among natural philosophy, medicine, and psychology. This volume, part of the Symposium Hellenisticum series, features ten scholars addressing different aspects of this topic.

Book Synopsis Galen on the Brain by : Julius Rocca
Download or read book Galen on the Brain written by Julius Rocca and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2003-02-01 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a study of the ways in which Galen sought to establish the brain as the regent part (hegemonikon) of the body, utilising a rigorous anatomical epistemology and an often sophisticated (but perforce limited) set of physiological arguments Part One surveys the medical and philosophical past in which the study of the brain occured, and looks at the materials and methods which Galen employs to legitimate his hegemonic argumentation. Part Two examines Galen's anatomical understanding of the brain, especially the ventricles. Part Three offers a critical evaluation of Galen's physiolgy of the brain. This is the first monograph to offer a detailed account of this subject, setting it within the cultural and intellectual contexts of its era, and will be of interest to those in classics, medical history, history andphilosophy of science and the history of ideas.

Book Synopsis Galen: Works on Human Nature: Volume 1, Mixtures (De Temperamentis) by :
Download or read book Galen: Works on Human Nature: Volume 1, Mixtures (De Temperamentis) written by and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2019-01-10 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mixtures is of central importance for Galen's views on the human body. It presents his influential typology of the human organism according to nine mixtures (or 'temperaments') of hot, cold, dry and wet. It also develops Galen's ideal of the 'well-tempered' person, whose perfect balance ensures excellent performance both physically and psychologically. Mixtures teaches the aspiring doctor how to assess the patient's mixture by training one's sense of touch and by a sophisticated use of diagnostic indicators. It presents a therapeutic regime based on the interaction between foods, drinks, drugs and the body's mixture. Mixtures is a work of natural philosophy as well as medicine. It acknowledges Aristotle's profound influence whilst engaging with Hippocratic ideas on health and nutrition, and with Stoic, Pneumatist and Peripatetic physics. It appears here in a new translation, with generous annotation, introduction and glossaries elucidating the argument and setting the work in its intellectual context.

Book Synopsis Interactions between Animals and Humans in Graeco-Roman Antiquity by : Thorsten Fögen
Download or read book Interactions between Animals and Humans in Graeco-Roman Antiquity written by Thorsten Fögen and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2017-08-21 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The seventeen contributions to this volume, written by leading experts, show that animals and humans in Graeco-Roman antiquity are interconnected on a variety of different levels and that their encounters and interactions often result from their belonging to the same structures, ‘networks’ and communities or at least from finding themselves together in a certain setting, context or environment – wittingly or unwittingly. Papers explore the concrete categories of interaction between animals and humans that can be identified, in what contexts they occur, and what types of evidence can be productively used to examine the concept of interactions. Articles in this volume take into account literary, visual, and other types of evidence. A comprehensive research bibliography is also provided.
