商品簡介
Hirai (history of science, Radboud U., Nijmegan, the Netherlands) profiles in turn six men who contributed significantly to the change in thinking about medicine during the European Renaissance. They are Nicolo Leoniceno between the Arabo-Latin tradition and the Renaissance of the Greek commentators; Jean Fernel and his Christian Platonic interpretation of Galen; Jacob Schegk on the plastic faculty and the origin of souls; Cornelius Gemma and his neoplatonic reading of Hippocrates; Fortunio Liceti against Marsilio Ficino on the world-soul and the origin of life; and Daniel Sennert on living atoms, hylomorphism, and spontaneous generation.
