Description
Summary:To understand exactly the problem whose study I have attempted to cover in the present work, it is necessary to go back for a moment to previous starting points of medicine. It is necessary to go through some of the philosophical periods, even those of a purely speculative nature of ancient medicine, so despised by modern physicians, to make an incursion, even a brief one, into the field of history, since, as Castiglioni says, no one can understand the present or consciously look to the future, if he does not know the sources and does not know how to investigate the ways through which the knowledge of truth has penetrated us and, as Auguste Comte has affirmed, "no science can be understood without its own history, always inseparable from the general history of humanity". In a word, we must return to the old and permanent humanistic content of the science we profess.
