Praelection Pharmaco-Mathicae Medico-Practice: Or, Lectures on the Rationale of Medicines, Vol. 1 of 2: Containing All That Is Necessary for Knowing ... Be Found Out; In Which Are Inserted All Si - Softcover
Synopsis
A comprehensive exploration of the scientific and philosophical roots of medicine, this book is the first in a series of lectures on the 'Rationale of Medicines.' It covers a wide range of topics including the nature of matter, the elements of motion, attraction and repulsion, and their effects both in the laboratory and the human body. Drawing on Hippocrates, the author argues the necessity of mathematics and geometry to a true understanding of medicine. Further demonstrating his wide-ranging knowledge, he also discusses alchemy, metallurgy, and the metaphysical relationships between the properties of metals, crystals, and the human condition. The author demonstrates the emerging scientific method and skepticism of the late Renaissance and early Enlightenment as he examines the various existing theories of attraction and the efficacy of various medical treatments. This book offers a fascinating and in-depth look at the history and principles of medicine, and a unique insight into the intellectual evolution of 17th-century science and philosophy.
