The Beginning of Science – Hippocrates

The most important name associated with the rationalistic

beginning of biology is that of Hippocrates. Virtually nothing is known

about the man himself except that he was born and lived on the island of

Cos in a temple to Asclepius, the Greek god of medicine. He was a

accepted as a priest there.

Nevertheless in Hippocratic view “No god influenced medicine”.

To Hippocrates the healthy a body was one in which the components

worked well and a diseased body was one in which they did not. It was

the task of the physician to see where the flaws in the working were and

then to take the proper action to correct them. The action consisted

chiefly of allowing the patient to rest, seeing that he was kept clean, had

fresh air, and simple and wholesome food. In short, the physician’s role,

in his view, was to let natural law itself effect the cure.

One of the oldest of Hippocratic writings deals with the disease

epilepsy. The book, called “On the Sacred Disease”, was written about

400 B.C. , that is why the beginning of the science of biology we could

point to the day 400 B.C. In this book he maintained that it was useless,

generally, to attribute divine causes to diseases.

Hippocrates founded some medical traditional that persisted after

his time. By the way, “Hippocrates oath” is still recited by medical

graduates.
