The Labyrinth of Medicine and Medical Reform as a Way Out: Comenius and the Philosophy of Medicine

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

In The Labyrinth of the World and the Paradise of the Heart, John Amos Comenius criticised both medicine and medical men according to the pilgrim’s observation of the practice of three different branches of contemporary medicine. The first of these branches was anatomy, which, in the Czech context, was propagated by Johannes Jessenius; the second branch was medical botany, known in the Czech lands primarily thanks to Hagecius’ translation of Mattioli’s Latin herbarium; the third branch was medical diagnosis and treatment. Despite his scepticism towards contemporary medicine, Comenius later outlines another path for medicine. If the goal of medicine is grasped correctly, i.e., the opposition between practical and theoretical medicine is overcome, then medicine can be reformed, and it can come to constitute a part of the whole of knowledge. Thus, Comenius, in his late work, incorporates medicine into a vast system of emendation, where, by means of eliminating the distinction between ars and scientia, medicine becomes part of a single discipline, neither theoretical nor practical, but universal, striving to rectify the affairs of men.
