ISBN: 1889613002

Author: Hahnemann, Samuel

Condition: New

Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, the visionary 19th century physician who first developed homeopathic medicine, distilled his philosophy and practice into the Organon of the Medical Art. This definitive new edition clearly presents his revolutionary system of medical care. It is the most precise translation and adaptation of the sixth edition of Hahnemanns Organon, to date, using Hahnemanns own intended imagery, coloration and texture to bring forth the dynamic experience of his monumental work. The language and intent of Hahnemann is maintained but placed in a sentence structure that is much easier to read than Hahnemanns German or earlier English translations. What to expect inside the book The comprehensive text is divided into chapters and sections along with side-headings and editorial footnotes. The extensive index (over 50 pages) is not just an index of words, but of concepts found in the Organon. The Glossary has definitions of medical terms used in the Organon as well as translation notes on specific words which will enable readers to understand Hahnemanns meaning.
