4.0 out of 5 stars
displays the rationality of ancient Greek medicine,
By
This review is from: Greek Medicine: From the Heroic to the Hellenistic Age A Source Book (Paperback)
This collection of sources, together with careful analyses of the evidence presented, well reveals the world's first systems for medicine as a rational science for healing and health. There is a wide-ranging collection of sources displaying something of the breadth of knowledge of Greek physicians, especially during the classical and Hellenistic periods, as physicians discovered that divine causation was an ineffective method for understanding illness. The study is based chronologically, with chapters devoted to specific topics such as gynecology, surgery, medical ethics, professional behavior, and dietetics. I recommend it highly.
