Plato’s Dietetics for Intellectuals in Timaeus 86b–90d
In this paper I focus on the dietetic discussion at the end of the Timaeus (86b–90d) and read it against the background of the medical dietetics of its day. I try to show that Plato’s version of dietetics is deeply rooted in the preceding medical tradition and that it draws in particular on ideas attested in the Hippocratic treatises On Regimen and Airs, Waters, Places . On the other hand, I also argue that Plato is most likely the first author e…
Aristotle’s Biology and Early Medicine
In this chapter I introduce the thesis that Aristotle's biology was considerably influenced by medical tradition as represented by the so-called Hippocratic writings. I start with a brief discussion of the history of the debate and the state of investigation and introduce the main advocates as well as opponents of the thesis. I then focus on Aristotle's remarks on distinguished physicians and the relationship between medicine and natural philosop…
Geography (Chapter 3, 393a9–394a6)
The author of De mundo offers his outline of geography in the second part of Chapter 3. In this contribution, we look at the details of the author’s account and analyse it in the context of the historical development of ancient geographic ideas. There is a number of indications that the text can be dated to later Hellenistic times: the author’s view on the insularity of the inhabited world, on the nature and role of the ocean and its connection w…
Heat, Pneuma , and Soul in the Medical Tradition
This chapter concerns the medical background of Aristotle’s accounts of heat, pneuma, and the vegetative soul. Bartoš discusses four Hippocratic texts (namely On Flesh, On Regimen, On Sevens, and On Winds) in which heat/fire plays a prominent role. He illustrates the relation of the notion to soul and pneuma in these texts and suggests several remarkable details of special importance to Aristotle’s zoology.
Heat, Pneuma, and Soul in Ancient Philosophy and Science
The conceptualization of the vital force of living beings as a kind of breath and heat is at least as old as Homer. The assumptions that life and living things were somehow causally related to 'heat' and 'breath' (pneuma) would go on to inform much of ancient medicine and philosophy. This is the first volume to consider the relationship of the notions of heat, breath (pneuma), and soul in ancient Greek philosophy and science from the Presocratics…
Philosophy and Dietetics in the Hippocratic On Regimen: A Delicate Balance of Health
This book offers the first extended study published in English on the Hippocratic treatise On Regimen, one of the most important pre-Platonic documents of the discussion of human nature and other topics at the intersection of ancient medicine and philosophy. It is not only a unique example of classical Greek dietetic literature, including the most elaborated account of the micro-macrocosm and phusis-technē analogies, but it also provides the most…
The Concept of Mimēsis in the Hippocratic De Victu
The concept of mimēsis was ‘shared by most authors, philosophers and educated audiences in the classical period, in antiquity as a whole, and even later’, although it has probably never been developed into a well-articulated theory. As far as we can judge from the extant evidence, the meaning of the expressions μίμησις and μιμέομαι differs from author to author and sometimes even from passage to passage. Ancient Greek views on mimēsis have often …
