Introduction: Philosophical and Medical Galenisms

Favaretti Camposampiero, Matteo; Scribano, Emanuela

Pages: 1 –8

[The persistence of remnants of Galenism in spite of the gradual obsolescence of its overall theoretical framework is currently a lively topic in the history of medicine. Galen’s influence, however, was not limited to the medical field. So far, most studies on Galen’s early modern legacy have...

Reading Galen’s De Naturalibus Facultatibus in the Early Modern Period

Giglioni, Guido

Pages: 9 –35

[By investigating the work of several early modern physicians and philosophers (among others, Julius Caesar Scaliger, Jacob Schegk, Andrea Cesalpino, Luis de Lemos and Melchior Sebisch), this chapter examines how various ways of reading Galen’s De naturalibus facultatibus between the sixteenth...

Galenic Causation in the Theoretical and Practical Medicine of Giambattista Da Monte

Martin, Craig

Pages: 37 –53

[Giambattista Da Monte methodically discussed the causes of disease according to Galenic definitions and applied these causes in his diagnosis and treatment of patients, devising a seemingly original interpretation of the categories of procatarctic, proegoumenic or antecedent, and containing...

In the Beginning Was the Plant: The Plant-Animal Continuity in the Early Modern Medical Reception of Galen

Baldassarri, Fabrizio

Pages: 55 –81

[In the early modern period, the reception of Galen’s treatise On the Formation of the Foetus drove embryological study. When in On Formative Power (De virtute formativa, 1506, 1524) Niccolò Leoniceno (1428–1524) reconstructs Galen’s view, he acknowledges the importance of the latter’s original...

Galenic Heritage in Locke’s Medical Philosophy: From Locke’s Medical Remains to His Reflection on Education

Crignon, Claire

Pages: 83 –103

[Locke’s reading of ancient medicine is usually studied through his collaboration with Thomas Sydenham, who came to be called the “English Hippocrates”. The emphasis is therefore on the specific way Locke inherited the Hippocratic method of observation. This paper aims to stress the fact that the...

Galen as a Source for Natural Theology in Early Modern British Philosophy

Lotti, Brunello

Pages: 105 –122

[Galen continued to hold his philosophical reputation in British culture long after his medical science had retreated into the background. This essay reconstructs his presence in British natural theology in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Galen’s most authoritative text, De usu partium,...

The Use of Parts: Mechanism Versus Galen

Scribano, Emanuela

Pages: 123 –134

[In the early modern period, the philosophy of life rejected two central aspects of Galen’s work: finalism and the need to assume a principle capable of organizing the living body from within to explain its generation and functioning. The first aspect is the subject of the attack by Guillaume...

Divine Organs? Leibniz’s ‘Hymn to Galen’ and the Best of All Possible Bodies

Andrault, Raphaële

Pages: 135 –153

[My aim is to question the different finalistic approaches to the human body that underlie the theological justifications of anatomy. To do so, I analyze the references that Leibniz made to Galen’s On the Use of the Parts that had a strategic purpose in his campaign against materialism. I show...

Christian Wolff’s Mechanization of Galen

Favaretti Camposampiero, Matteo

Pages: 155 –173

[Despite his overall negative assessment of ancient, pre-mechanistic science, Christian Wolff held Galen in high esteem and was in several respects influenced by both ancient and modern Galenism. This influence concerns less medicine as such than its philosophical foundations. First, Wolff...

Galen’s Contribution to the History of Materialism

Wolfe, Charles T.

Pages: 175 –191

[Galen’s philosophical posterity tends to be associated with works like De usu partium, thanks to which scholarship on the concept of teleology has invented a category just for Galenic teleology itself (Hankinson, Class Q 39: 206–227, 1989). But Galen also contributed lastingly to the history of...
