Abstract:
During the 14th century CE, a pivotal shift took place in the world of medicine as its epicenter transitioned from the Middle East to Europe. The emergence of the European Renaissance sparked skepticism regarding the significance of Avicenna\'s contributions to the advancement of medicine. This paper explores how the rise of secularization and the Renaissance in Europe marked significant cultural transformations, fostering the spread of literacy. These societal shifts influenced the trajectory of medical thought, and Avicenna\'s \"Canon of Medicine\" received both praise and condemnation amidst the evolving intellectual landscape. In this context, Lorenz Fries composed his \"Defense of Avicenna,\" a testament to his profound admiration for Avicenna\'s legacy. This paper presents an English translation of Fries\' 1530 work, and introduces Fries and Avicenna\'s \"Canon,\" contextualizing Fries\' defense within the broader rejection of Arab-language medical texts in the 16th century. It also explores Avicenna\'s influence on European medicine and anatomy during the Renaissance and highlights the enduring relevance of his contributions to the annals of science. Fries\' defense underscores Avicenna\'s methodological acumen and emphasizes the importance of a robust theoretical foundation in medical practice. Avicenna\'s integration of Aristotelianism with Platonism highlighted the necessity of a rigorous method informed by theory in medical analysis. Fries\' defense remains relevant today, particularly in advocating for systematic medical analysis against subjective approaches. Avicenna\'s medical philosophy seems nested within a larger, hopeful attempt to resolve the tensions between science or naturalism and religion or spiritualism. The rejection of Avicenna reflects broader conflicts between Aristotelian and Neoplatonic traditions, suggesting a complex interplay of secularization and theological influences in shaping medical thought during the Renaissance.
摘要:
在公元14世纪,随着其中心从中东转移到欧洲,医学界发生了关键的转变。欧洲文艺复兴的出现引发了人们对阿维森纳对医学进步的贡献的重要性的怀疑。本文探讨了欧洲世俗化和文艺复兴的兴起如何标志着重大的文化变革,促进识字的传播。这些社会变化影响了医学思想的轨迹,和阿维森纳的“医学佳能”在不断发展的知识景观中受到赞扬和谴责。在这种情况下,洛伦兹·弗里斯组成了他的“阿维森纳辩护”,“这证明了他对阿维森纳遗产的深刻钦佩。本文介绍了Fries\'1530作品的英文翻译,并介绍了Fries和Avicenna的“佳能”,“在16世纪更广泛地拒绝阿拉伯语言医学文本的背景下,对Fries进行了辩护。它还探讨了阿维森纳在文艺复兴时期对欧洲医学和解剖学的影响,并强调了他对科学史册的贡献的持久相关性。Fries辩护强调了Avicenna的方法论敏锐度,并强调了坚实的理论基础在医学实践中的重要性。阿维森纳将亚里士多德主义与柏拉图主义相结合,强调了在医学分析中采用严格的理论方法的必要性。Fries\'防御今天仍然很重要,特别是在倡导反对主观方法的系统医学分析方面。阿维森纳的医学哲学似乎嵌套在一个更大的,希望尝试解决科学或自然主义与宗教或唯心主义之间的紧张关系。拒绝阿维森纳反映了亚里士多德和新柏拉图传统之间更广泛的冲突,表明在文艺复兴时期世俗化和神学影响在塑造医学思想方面的复杂相互作用。
