Medical Humanism, a Problematic Formulation

The phrase “medical humanism” has been often used over the past fifty years to refer to the learned medicine of the Late Renaissance. But it can refer to several different aspects of this period, including a general reference for classical antiquity or a more specific reference to a reliance on ancient, and primarily Greek texts. This paper attempts to tease out some of the ways in which this classical heritage was used at different times in a plea for a greater precision
