{"product_id":"galen-on-the-brain-julius-rocca-9789004125124","title":"Galen on the Brain","description":"This book is a study of the ways in which Galen sought to establish the brain as the regent part (hegemonikon) of the body, utilising a rigorous anatomical epistemology and an often sophisticated (but perforce limited) set of physiological arguments Part One surveys the medical and philosophical past in which the study of the brain occured, and looks at the materials and methods which Galen employs to legitimate his hegemonic argumentation. Part Two examines Galen's anatomical understanding of the brain, especially the ventricles. Part Three offers a critical evaluation of Galen's physiolgy of the brain. This is the first monograph to offer a detailed account of this subject, setting it within the cultural and intellectual contexts of its era, and will be of interest to those in classics, medical history, history andphilosophy of science and the history of ideas.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Julius Rocca\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004125124\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004125124\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/16\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.74h x 6.64w x 1.07d","brand":"Julius Rocca","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47520654754047,"sku":"9789004125124","price":201.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_78086880-d7a8-4645-b55d-fadd1481d280.jpg?v=1762886366","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/galen-on-the-brain-julius-rocca-9789004125124","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
