Název v původním jazyce

Aristotle and his Hippocratic precursors on health and natural teleology

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

In Hippocratic treatises we find a concept of self-organizing and self-healing phusis, which anticipates Aristotle's principle of natural teleology. Since Aristotle interprets most natural processes teleologically, including for example the self-healinginjuries, it is surprising that concerning self-healing diseases, contrary to some of the Hippocratic authors (but in accordance with others), Aristotle adopts a rather sceptical attitude and interprets it as something accidental, i.e. non-teleological.A possible explanation for such an exception from his otherwise strong confidence in the powers of nature may be found, as I suggest, in the benefits of the consequences of such interpretative position for the image of medicine, which serves Aristotle asa paradigmatic art not only in the field of natural science, but also in practical philosophy, and particularly in ethics.
