Galen: On Diseases and Symptoms

Johnston

2006

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Galen's treatises on the classification and causation of diseases and symptoms are an important component of his prodigious oeuvre, forming a bridge between his theoretical works and his practical, clinical writings. As such, they remained an integral component of the medical teaching curriculum well into the second millennium. This edition was originally published in 2006. In these four treatises (only one of which had been previously translated into English), Galen not only provides a framework for the exhaustive classification of diseases and their symptoms as a prelude to his analysis of their causation, but he also attempts to establish precise definitions of all the key terms involved. Unlike other of his works, these treatises are notably moderate in tone, taking into account different views on structure and causation in a relatively even-handed way. Nonetheless, they are a clear statement of the Dogmatic position on the theoretical foundations of medicine in his time.

L’usage de la conjecture technique chez Galien de Pergame

L'enjeu de cette contribution est d'explorer les réflexions sur les arts stochastiques dans l'Antiquité et de montrer comment les développements concernant « l'art de conjecturer » que l'on trouve chez Galien constituent une option préférable aux voies traditionnelles empruntées par les philosophes pour expliquer la faillibilité inhérente à l'art médical. En distinguant le diagnostic scientifique du diagnostic conjectural, Galien englobe la totalité des cas pertinents pour l'art médical. Le premier, en raison de son caractère général, peut être théorisé. Quant au second, il concerne uniquement le particulier et n'est donc pas susceptible d'entrer dans la théorie, si ce n'est que par la méthode qui le rend possible. Il s'agit donc de dresser une ébauche des mécanismes qui sous-tendent la conjecture technique afin d'exposer la position adroitement élaborée par Galien sur un sujet où l'hégémonie philosophique régnait jusqu'alors.ABSTRACT. -The aim of this paper is to examine the considerations on stochastic arts in Antiquity and to show how Galen's analysis concerning the "art of conjecturing" constitutes a preferable alternative to the traditional ways used by philosophers to explain the inherent fallibility in the medical art. By distinguishing the scientific diagnosis from the conjectural one, Galen encompasses all cases relevant to the medical art. The former, because of its general nature, can be theorized. As for the latter, it concerns only the individual and is therefore not likely to enter the theory, except by the method that makes it possible. This paper attempts to outline the modus operandi underlying the technical conjecture in order to illustrate Galen's deftly developed position on a subject almost exclusively investigated by philosophers until then.1. Nous ne pouvons qu'admirer l'initiative de Jacques Jouanna et Véronique Boudon-Millot qui ont entrepris la traduction des oeuvres de Galien dans la C.U.F. aux éditions Les Belles Lettres.
