The course traces the impact of ancient medical thought on modern medical theory and practice, studying how concepts foundational to modern medicine got their start in the classical world. Such concepts include not only certain anatomical structures and physiological functions, but the very idea of anatomy itself – literally a “dividing up” of the body into parts – as the basis for a naturalistic understanding of health and disease, and ultimately, for the therapeutic approaches characteristic of Western medicine.
