SUMMARY
Volume II details the development of medicine among the early Indo-European peoples--Greeks, Indians, and Persians. The Indo-Europeans were the first to use empirical knowledge to develop philosophical systems of medicine which looked beyond the sick man for universal laws. This volumeexamines the Greek rational systems which are the foundations of modern science, and the similar Near Eastern approaches, which had an additional mystic component better suited for handling mental and spiritual problems.Sigerist, Henry E. is the author of 'History of Medicine Early Greek, Hindu, and Persian Medicine' with ISBN 9780195050790 and ISBN 0195050797.
