Publisher's Synopsis
""A Philosophy of Therapeutics"" is a book written by Eldridge C. Price, published in 1904. The book is a philosophical exploration of the principles and practices of therapeutics, the branch of medicine concerned with the treatment of disease. Price argues that therapeutics should be grounded in a coherent philosophical framework, and that the principles of ethics, metaphysics, and epistemology are all relevant to the practice of medicine. The book covers a range of topics, including the nature of health and disease, the role of the physician, the ethics of medical treatment, and the relationship between mind and body. Price draws on the work of philosophers such as Aristotle, Kant, and Hegel, as well as contemporary medical thinkers, to develop his own philosophical perspective on therapeutics. The book is aimed at medical professionals, philosophers, and anyone interested in the philosophical foundations of medicine.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
