인간, 건강 그리고 환경 : <공기, 물, 장소에 관하여>의 현대적 의의

Abstract

Hippocrates, the father of medicine, has been represented in many ways throughout the history of Western medicine. His influence on later medicine took various forms from one epoch to another, and the doctrine of Hippocratic medicine was interpreted in different ways according to different social, historical, and intellectual contexts. In this way, the old subjects of air and water received new light in the 19th century and the Hippocratic treatise Airs Waters Places still remained the inspiring treatise as in the previous century, but giving different inspirations. Airs Waters Places shows very well how the same Hippocratic treatise can be interpreted in the different ways according to different historical settings and give different inspirations that the ages were in need of.
