Excerpt from The Relation of Medicine to Philosophy

This little book, of which the first three chapters have already appeared in the British Medical Journal, and which I am allowed here to reproduce, by the kind permission of the Editor, does not profess in any sense to be a History of Medicine. With that we are already furnished, on a large scale in the shape of Haeser's encyclop?dic work, and on a smaller scale in Withington's most illuminating History of Medicine from the Earliest Times. To both of these works I am very largely indebted, as also to Kurt Sprengel's History of Medicine, the references to which are taken from the French translation by Jourdan (1815).

Its object is rather to show, by taking various important epochs in the history of the world, how intimately medicine has been bound up with the current thought and philosophy of the day; how medicine no more than art can work away by itself, uninfluenced by the intellectual milieu in which it finds itself. We shall thus see why some epochs have been peculiarly favourable to the progress of medicine, others as markedly the reverse.
