Aristotle reads Hippocrates by Vojt283ch Linka

Despite Aristotle's family background and his undeniable impact on ancient Greek medicine, the influence of medicine on Aristotle's philosophy is controversial and far from universally acknowledged. The aim of this volume is to re-examine the influence of medical knowledge and literature on Aristotle's work, in particular to explore the connections with the Hippocratic writings. The volume encourages further exploration of this interdisciplinary area and offers new insights by presenting a series of case studies that examine in detail specific debates within the Aristotelian corpus in relation to the medical literature.
Hynek Bartoš, Charles University, is an associate professor at that university. He has published monographs, translations and numerous articles on ancient philosophy and medicine, including Philosophy and Dietetics in the Hippocratic On Regimen (Brill 2015).

Vojtěch Linka, Charles University, is an assistant professor at that university. He wrote a PhD thesis on Approaches to Pain in Classical Philosophy and Medicine (2023) and continues his research in the philosophy of medicine.

Contributors are: Hynek Bartoš, Vojtěch Linka, Lorenzo Perilli, Stavros Kouloumentas, Stasinos Stavrianeas, Sean Coughlin, Claire Bubb, Sophia Connell, Mariska Leunissen, Giouli Korobili, Tiberiu Popa, Karel Thein, Pierre-Marie Morel, Monte Ransome Johnson, Chiara Thumiger.
