商品描述

Galen was notable in the ancient world for his creative intermingling of medicine and practical ethics. This book is the first authoritative analysis of Galen's psychological and ethical works alongside a large number of his technical tracts, both medical and philosophical, and offers a robust framework through which we can comprehend his role as a practical ethicist - an aspect of his intellectual profile that has been little understood until now. Sophia Xenophontos explores a wide range of literature on moralia in the Roman imperial period, as well as topics including the pathology of emotions, the social role of medicine, and character formation and social ethics, to show the sophisticated and complex ways in which moral themes and controversies from antiquity were adapted and reinvigorated by Galen. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

在古代世界中,Galen以他將醫學和實踐倫理相結合的創造性方法而聞名。這本書是對Galen心理學和倫理學作品的第一個權威分析,同時還包括他的大量技術論文,既有醫學的也有哲學的,並提供了一個堅實的框架,使我們能夠理解他作為一個實踐倫理學家的角色 - 這是他的知識背景中一個鮮為人知的方面。Sophia Xenophontos探索了羅馬帝國時期關於道德的廣泛文獻,以及情感病理學、醫學的社會角色以及性格塑造和社會倫理等主題,以展示古代的道德主題和爭議如何被Galen改編和注入新的活力。這本書也可以在Cambridge Core上以開放存取的形式獲得。
