Synopsis
Explore the science and humanity behind idiocy and its place in society.
This volume presents a thoughtful, plain‑spoken look at idiocy, its nature, and how society has treated it. It discusses how experts have defined the condition, why it has been misunderstood, and what medicine and philanthropy can do to help those affected. The author frames idiocy as a real medical and social issue, not a distant ideal, and grounds his discussion in examples from hospitals and charities in East Anglia.
You’ll find a careful account of how idiocy is classified and observed, and how ideas about the brain, mind, and spirit have shaped approaches to care. The work weaves together science, theology, and public policy to ask how best to support a vulnerable group, why progress matters, and what responsibilities communities hold toward those who cannot speak for themselves.
- Clear definitions and a tripartite view of the person—body, soul, and spirit
- Three main categories of idiocy: congenital, developmental, and accidental
- The connection between brain science, philosophy, and faith in everyday life
- Historical perspectives on care, treatment, and the ethics of charity
Ideal for readers of medical history, neurology, and social reform who want a grounded, historical look at a contested topic.

Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the nature and characteristics of the medical condition of idiocy, defining it as a condition of abnormal mental development resulting from a brain defect. The author, a Consulting Physician to the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital and a member of several esteemed medical societies, provides a detailed description of the various forms of idiocy and their causes. The book also explores the relationship between mind and matter from a scientific perspective, while challenging the dominant materialistic philosophies of the time. The author argues that the study of idiocy provides evidence against the idea that thought is merely a function of brain protoplasm and posits that mind and matter are instead separate and distinct entities. The book presents a wealth of information on the medical and philosophical aspects of idiocy, making it a valuable resource for medical professionals, scholars, and anyone interested in understanding the complexities of the human mind and its relationship to the physical body.
