The Process of Subjectivization within a Religious Organization
This article uses Taylor’s subjective turn to examine the impact of such a change on organized religion, focusing on the Dutch Apostolic Society ( AS ). Drawing on oral history data from twenty-seven members belonging to six different generations, we investigate their perceptions of changes in leadership, rituals, and community life. Findings show a shift from external religious authorities to immanent forms of spirituality and self-authority. Wh…
Blood, Sweat and Tears
The history of anatomy has been the subject of much recent scholarship. This volume shifts the focus to the many different ways in which the function of the body and its fluids were understood in pre-modern European thought. Contributors demonstrate how different academic disciplines can contribute to our understanding of ‘physiology’, and investigate the value of this category to pre-modern medicine. The book contains individual essays on the wi…
Hippocrates and Medical Education
[The collection of writings known as the Corpus Hippocraticum played a decisive role in medical education for more than twenty four centuries. This is the first full-length volume on medical education in Graeco-Roman antiquity since Kudlien’s seminal article from 1970. The articles in this volume were originally presented as papers at the XIIth International Colloquium Hippocraticum in Leiden in 2005., The collection of writings known as the Corp…
Hippocrates and medical education
Magic and Rationality in Ancient Near Eastern and Graeco-Roman Medicine
For the first time, medical systems of the Ancient Near East and the Greek and Roman world are studied side by side and compared. Early medicine in Babylonia, Egypt, the Minoan and Mycenean world; later medicine in Hippocrates, Galen, Aelius Aristides, Vindicianus, the Talmud. The focus is the degree of "rationality" or "irrationality" in the various ways of medical thought and treatment. Fifteen specialists contributed thoughtful and well-docume…
Aelius Aristides
A suitable case for treatment
The Andreia of the Hippocratic Physician and the Problem of Incurables
One of the most enduring metaphors of Western medicine has been its conception of illness as an invasive enemy against which the patient and doctor must join forces to do battle. Indeed, the more invisible and mysterious the processes of disease, the more vividly do people seem to invoke the metaphor. So it is not surprising to find that in antiquity, when the etiology and control of disease was considerably more elusive than it is today, the not…
Ancient medicine between hope and fear
Any reader of Tacitus' Annals may have noticed that poison played a prominent part at the imperial court during the Early Principate. In this article seven cases of suspected poisoning, mentioned by Tacitus in his Annals , are analysed and commented upon in some detail. The use of poison in general is studied against the background of Roman society, culture and mentality. It is argued that modern ideas about physicians, pharmacists, poisons and d…
