Hippocrates' pronouncements on health, disease, and prognosis went unchallenged in the Western world until scientific advances in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries made many of his ideas obsolete. And yet medical students in the United States and Europe still recite the Hippocratic oath upon completion of their studies. In view of Hippocrates' exceptional importance in the history of medicine, it may seem surprising that our knowledge of this fifth century b.c. Greek physician should be so incomplete. Nonetheless, Jacques Jouanna contends that a great deal can be concluded about the life and works of Hippocrates. Published to both critical and popular acclaim in France,  Hippocrates reveals a man who was not only the greatest of the ancient physicians but also a philosopher of unrecognized ability and consequence who influenced both Plato and Aristotle; a historian who was the equal of Herodotus and Thucydides as a writer and superior to them in his powers of observation and analysis; and a master of tragical narrative who bears comparison with Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides. Now that Hippocrates has at last emerged from the hagiographic mists of Byzantium and medieval Europe, the justice of his reputation as one of the greatest figures of antiquity can be more fully appreciated.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49762597142801,"sku":"GOR009246399","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51804013658385,"sku":"CIN0801868181G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53559803773201,"sku":"GOR014960609","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0801868181.jpg?v=1751395084"},{"product_id":"hippocrates-book-jacques-jouanna-9780801859076","title":"Hippocrates","description":"In view of Hippocrates' exceptional importance in the history of medicine, it seems surprising that our knowledge of his life and career should be so incomplete.

The papers cover more than thirty years of Jouanna’s scholarship and range from the early beginnings of Greek medicine to late antiquity. Part One studies the ways in which Greek medicine is related to its historical and cultural background (politics, rhetoric, drama, religion). Part Two studies a number of salient features of Hippocratic medicine, such as dietetics, theories of health and disease and concepts of psychosomatic interaction, in relation to Greek philosophical thought. Part Three studies the reception of Hippocratic medicine, especially medical ethics and the theory of the four humours, in Galen and in late antiquity.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51065425363217,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51065427525905,"sku":"NIN9789004208599","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53561259852049,"sku":"NLS9789004208599","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9004208593.jpg?v=1779876668"},{"product_id":"hippocrate-book-jacques-jouanna-9781016217521","title":"Hippocrate","description":"La vie est courte, l'art est long, tel est le debut des Aphorismes d'Hippocrate qui furent pendant des siecles, avec le Serment, la Bible des medecins. C'est la plus qu'une metaphore. Hippocrate fut represente a l'epoque byzantine comme un Christ en gloire tenant ouvert son livre des Aphorismes. Cette miniature du xive siecle (reproduite sur la couverture du present ouvrage) est symbolique de la fortune exceptionnelle d'Hippocrate. Celebre des son vivant, Hippocrate de Cos, au cours de plus de vingt siecles, par l'oeuvre conservee sous son nom, eut sur la pensee medicale une influence analogue a celle qu'a exercee Aristote sur la pensee philosophique. Meme au xixe siecle, les querelles d'ecole brandissent ou fustigent l'hippocratisme. Laennec se reclame encore de la pensee hippocratique. Qui etait Hippocrate ? Est-ce a juste titre qu'il passe pour etre le pere de la medecine ? Quelle etait la vie quotidienne des medecins au siecle de Pericles, leur carriere, leur activite, leurs relations avec les malades ? Quelle etait leur conception de la medecine, de la sante et de la maladie ? des rapports de la medecine et de la philosophie ? de la science et de la religion ? L'oeuvre attribuee a Hippocrate, constituee d'une soixantaine de traites medicaux, est d'une richesse et d'une diversite telles que ses multiples facettes permettent de repondre a ces questions et expliquent aussi les multiples lectures qui ont ete faites de cette oeuvre au cours des siecles par les medecins ou les philosophes. Meme si l'oeuvre medicale est scientifiquement depassee, elle demeure actuelle par sa profondeur humaine. De toute facon, elle reste et restera l'un des monuments les plus riches et les plus impressionnants de l'eveil de l'esprit scientifique en Grece et dans le monde occidental. C'est avec l'oeuvre hippocratique que nait la science de l'homme.

Exhaustive and authoritative, this acclaimed book combines biography and detailed studies of Sophocles' plays, all set in the rich context of classical Greek tragedy and the political, social, religious, and cultural world of Athens's greatest age, the fifth century.  Sophocles was the commanding figure of his day. The author of Oedipus Rex and Antigone, he was not only the leading dramatist but also a distinguished politician, military commander, and religious figure. And yet the evidence about his life has, until now, been fragmentary.  Reconstructing a lost literary world, Jouanna has finally assembled all the available information, culled from inscriptions, archaeological evidence, and later sources. He also offers a huge range of new interpretations, from his emphasis on the significance of Sophocles' political and military offices (previously often seen as honorary) to his analysis of Sophocles' plays in the mythic and literary context of fifth-century drama.  Written for scholars, students, and general readers, this book will interest anyone who wants to know more about Greek drama in general and Sophocles in particular. With an extensive bibliography and useful summaries not only of Sophocles' extant plays but also, uniquely, of the fragments of plays that have been partially lost, it will be a standard reference in classical studies for years to come.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51699828883729,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51699828949265,"sku":"GOR014367301","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0691172072.jpg?v=1750880970"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-jacques-jouanna.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
