"Determining what has gone wrong in a malfunctioning body and proposing an effective
treatment requires expertise. Since antiquity, philosophers and doctors have wondered
what sort of knowledge this expertise involves, and whether and how it can warrant
its conclusions. Few people were as qualified to deal with these questions as Galen
of Pergamum (129–ca. 216). A practising doctor with a keen interest in logic and natural
science, he devoted much of his enormous literary output to the task of putting medicine
on firm methodological grounds. At the same time he reflected on philosophical issues
entailed by this project, such as the nature of experience, its relation to reason,
the criteria of truth, and the methods of justification. This volume explores Galen's
contributions to (mainly scientific) epistemology, as they arise in the specific inquiries
and polemics of his works, as well as their legacy in the Islamic world."--Quatrième
