Galen’s Hippocratism
Original language description
The starting point for this chapter is a tension in recent scholarship on Galen’s Hippocratism: one position holds that Galen reads the Hippocratic Corpus as an impartial philologist whose aim is to recover Hippocrates’ original words and doctrines, another position claims that he reads Hippocrates in his own image and in doing so distorts the text to serve his own scientific or rhetorical purposes. This chapter explores this tension by locating Galen’s Hippocratism in its local intellectual context, where inquiry and debate are framed in terms of following or rejecting the thought of a founding authority. It puts forth the idea that Galen did not adopt Hippocrates, but was, so to speak, born into Hippocratism and that many of the features of Galen’s Hippocratism that at first appear exceptional are better understood as refinements and revisions of his Hippocratist inheritance.
