Slight wear & light soiling to text block edges. Slight wear to spine, covers & corners. Plastic-protected cover. ; 22.6 x 14.5 x 1.4 cms; 232 pages; James Tyler Kent (1849 1916) was an American homeopathic physician and one of the most influential figures in classical homeopathy. Originally trained in conventional medicine, he turned to homeopathy after witnessing the successful treatment of his wife, an experience that transformed his medical approach and led to his lifelong dedication to the practice. Kent developed a highly systematic and philosophical approach to homeopathy, emphasising the importance of constitutional treatment and the holistic nature of disease. He is best known for his Repertory of the Homeopathic Materia Medica, a comprehensive guide that became a cornerstone of homeopathic practice and remains widely used today. His detailed case-taking methods and emphasis on mental and emotional symptoms helped shape modern homeopathic prescribing. In addition to his clinical work, Kent was a dedicated teacher, training many homeopathic practitioners in the United States and abroad. His lectures, compiled into works such as Lectures on Homeopathic Philosophy, continue to be studied for their depth and clarity. He also contributed to the concept of hierarchical remedy selection, stressing the importance of finding the most fitting remedy based on the patient s overall constitution. Kent s influence extended beyond medicine, as his philosophy reflected a deep spiritual and metaphysical perspective, incorporating Swedenborgian ideas about the nature of health and disease. His legacy endures in homeopathic practice, with his methods and teachings forming the foundation of classical homeopathy.
