DESCRIPTION:<p>Many leading philosophers of the Islamic world wrote about medicine or medical topics like anatomy -- al-Kindi\, al-Farabi\, Avicenna\, and Averroes are only the best-known examples. Primarily medical thinkers also drew on the philosophical tradition. This is unsurprising\, given that the greatest Greek medical authority\, Galen\, had said that the best doctor is also a philosopher. This event will explore the interrelation between these two fields\, which were tightly interwoven in the tradition but are usually studied separately nowadays\, to ask what impact philosophers' medical interests had on their theories concerning such topics as the nature of man\, ethics\, and the relation of soul to body -- and conversely\, what relevance the philosophical tradition had for medical texts.</p>\n<p>This event will examine what impact philosophers&rsquo\; medical interests had on their theories concerning such topics as the nature of man\, ethics\, and the relation of soul to body - and conversely\, what relevance the philosophical tradition had for medical texts.<br>Organised by: Peter Adamson (Munich) and Peter E.
