Aristotle, Aristotelianism and Ancient Medicine
This book project studies the dialogue between Aristotelian philosophy and ancient medical thought from the 4th century BCE to the 6th century CE. It examines Aristotle’s and the Peripatetics' engagement with the medical ideas of their times, their own views on health and disease and their conception of medicine as the example of a practical science par excellence. It further studies the influence of Aristotelian thought on the ideas and methods of a number of ancient doctors and the role of medical ideas in the exegesis of Aristotle’s writings in late antiquity.
