Prof. Dr. Philip van der Eijk

Philip van der Eijk erforscht die Schnittstellen zwischen Medizin, Philosophie und Wissenschaft in der Antike, der Spätantike und im Mittelalter. Seine Arbeit konzentriert sich auf die Rezeption und den Transfer medizinischen Wissens, insbesondere bei Autoren wie Galen, Aristoteles und den Hippokratikern. Er erstellt kritische Editionen und Übersetzungen antiker Texte, um epistemologische und methodologische Entwicklungen nachzuzeichnen. Ein weiterer Schwerpunkt liegt auf der Wissenschaftsgeschichte, einschließlich Prozessen des Vergessens und der Kanonisierung von Wissen.

• The Cambridge Companion to Galen

  2008

  Cambridge University Press eBooks · DOI

  Galen of Pergamum (AD 129–c.216) was the most influential doctor of later antiquity, whose work was to influence medical theory and practice for more than fifteen hundred years. He was a prolific writer on anatomy, physiology, diagnosis and prognosis, pulse-doctrine, pharmacology, therapeutics, and the theory of medicine; but he also wrote extensively on philosophical topics, making original contributions to logic and the philosophy of science, and outlining a scientific epistemology which married a deep respect for empirical adequacy with a commitment to rigorous rational exposition and demonstration. He was also a vigorous polemicist, deeply involved in the doctrinal disputes among the medical schools of his day. This volume offers an introduction to and overview of Galen's achievement in all these fields, while seeking also to evaluate that achievement in the light of the advances made in Galen scholarship over the past thirty years.

• Medicine and Philosophy in Classical Antiquity

  2005

  Cambridge University Press eBooks · DOI

  This work brings together Philip van der Eijk's previously published essays on the close connections that existed between medicine and philosophy throughout antiquity. Medical authors such as the Hippocratic writers, Diocles, Galen, Soranus and Caelius Aurelianus elaborated on philosophical methods such as causal explanation, definition and division and applied key concepts such as the notion of nature to their understanding of the human body. Similarly, philosophers such as Plato and Aristotle were highly valued for their contributions to medicine. This interaction was particularly striking in the study of the human soul in its relation to the body, as illustrated by approaches to specific topics such as intellect, sleep and dreams, and diet and drugs. With a detailed introduction surveying the subject as a whole and an essay on Aristotle's treatment of sleep, this wide-ranging and accessible collection is essential reading for the student of ancient philosophy and science.
