From the Publisher

In this new edition of the Organon the text has been completely revised, in order to make it a still more exact reproduction of the original. In the Appendix there are given all the more important variations of the previous editions. The author has also indicated the corresponding views as set forth in the Essay on a News Principle and the Medicine of Experience, both of which essays may be regarded as the precursor of the Organon.

The fifth and last edition, published in 1833, contains several novelties, such as the theories of the "vital force" and "the dynamization of medicines." --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Everything you need to know about homoeopathy in one book!, June 8, 2006

By 

Foghorn (Kent, UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Organon of Medicine (Paperback)

If you want to know how to practice homoeopathy, this is all you should need to read from the Founder himself. Forget Kent, Sankaran, Scholten, Sherr, Murphy, Herscu - this is the guy to read and learn from, Christian Samuel Hahnemann.
Every answer to every question you may have will be found in this book and if you intend to study homoeopathy, this should be the very first thing you read.

Not many people like the Boericke translation. I find it easier to read every year - yes, you should read it once a year (from cover to cover). Most prefer Kunzli or O'Reilly's editions, but I like Boericke.

This little edition published in India is great for keeping in your handbag and carrying with you to read and re-read at your leisure. If you want a reference edition, without so many editorial glitches, get an edition published in America or the UK.

1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible Editing makes this unreadable, April 24, 2006

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Organon of Medicine (5th & 6th Edition) (Paperback)

One is so completely distracted, confused, and frustrated by the poor editing of this B Jain Pub Pvt Ltd (April 19, 2002) edition of Hahnemann's Organon that it renders the text unreadable. I am going to re-order the book from another publisher.
