The many correlations between philosophical concepts in Eastern belief systems and the thought and practice of classical homeopathy have never been thoroughly explored. The homeopathy content of the arguments presented is mainly, though not exclusively, classical homeopathy, that is to say the method that emerges from the original founder, Samuel Hahnemann, and proceeds to the present day with a belief, where possible, in one, single, similimum remedy for the treatment of disease. The Eastern belief systems addressed are Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, and Jainism. Relevant detours include the mystical aspects of Islam as expressed in Sufism; and points of contact with Christian faith. Chapters include: Fundamental concepts The vital force The interrelated Universe Holism The pathological self Imbalance, disease and its symptoms Miasmatic pathology Remedies Potentization Cure: The purification of consciousness Homeopathy and the Coronavirus.

When and where did science begin? Historians have offered different answers to these questions, some pointing to Babylonian observational astronomy, some to the speculations of natural philosophers of ancient Greece. Others have opted for early modern Europe, which saw the triumph of Copernicanism and the birth of experimental science, while yet another view is that the appearance of science was postponed until the nineteenth century. Rather than posit a modern definition of science and search for evidence of it in the past, the contributors to Wrestling with Nature examine how students of nature themselves, in various cultures and periods of history, have understood and represented their work. The aim of each chapter is to explain the content, goals, methods, practices, and institutions associated with the investigation of nature and to articulate the strengths, limitations, and boundaries of these efforts from the perspective of the researchers themselves. With contributions from experts representing different historical periods and different disciplinary specializations, this volume offers a fresh perspective on the history of science and on what it meant, in other times and places, to wrestle with nature.

Divided Legacy (Vols. I-IV) is a history of Western medical philosophy from the time of Hippocrates to the twentieth century, treating it as a unified system of thought rather than a series of fortuitous discovers. Dr. Coulter interprets the development of medical ideas as the product of a conflict between two opposed systems of thought, Empiricism and Rationalism. This third volume of Divided Legacy continues the account of the conflict between the Empirical and the Rationalist approaches to therapeutics but introduces a socio-economic dimension which had earlier been lacking. In the early nineteenth century, Samuel Hahnemann’s formulation of the Empirical therapeutic doctrine, which he called homeopathy. It flourished especially in the United States. This volume traces the history of the rise and decline of this formulation of Empirical therapeutics in the nineteenth century United States. It analyzes the interaction between the homeopathic doctrines and those of the orthodox school and attempts to illustrate the influence of socio-economic constraints on the movement of medical thought during this period.
