Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, first published in 1812, examines the history of the Materia Medica from a philosophical angle. The author takes a sweeping view of how medicine has been practiced and understood over the centuries and across different civilizations. The book explores the ideas and beliefs that have influenced the use of medicinal substances, from superstition and credulity to false theories and devotion to authority. It discusses the role of superstition in medicine, including the belief in the power of amulets and charms, and the influence of astrology and alchemy on the development of medical treatments. The author also examines the ways in which the Materia Medica has been influenced by the progress of science, particularly the development of chemistry and botany. The book highlights the significant changes in the understanding and use of medicinal substances over time, and the evolving role of the physician in the treatment of disease.
