Prof. Dr. Dietrich von Engelhardt
Alfried Krupp Senior Fellow
Born 1941 in Göttingen
Studied History, Philosophy and Slavonic Philology in Tübingen, München und Heidelberg
Director emeritus of the Institute for the History of Medicine and Science at the University of Lübeck
Medicine in the Romantic Age
The tendency to separate Medicine, Philosophy, the sciences and the humanities, already present at the beginning of the Modern Age and particularly increasing in the 18th century, was confronted around 1800 once again by attempts to provide a philosophical basis for medical theory and therapeutic practice. The medicine of that period will be described and interpreted on the basis of contemporary sources and also compared with modern medical developments and problems from an ethical and theoretical point of view. Altogether this study is intended to present a fascinating period in European cultural and medical history which does not only deserve historical interest but is also important in our time: for the understanding of health and disease, of therapy and doctor-patent relationships, of medicine as a science and as an art.
