Document Summary
Medicine in the 17th and 18th centuries oct. 11. The last part of the course is mainly going to focus on the 19th and 20th centuries and on the incredible changes that have taken place during those years. Today: we"re going to talk about an intermediate period, which was neither the middle ages, or even the early modern period that professor wallis spoke about in her last session. It was intermediate in a variety of ways between the old medicine of the 17th and early 18th century and the new medicine that began to emerge in the. Medical science was in a state of transition in the 16th and 17th centuries as a result of what we could call the first medical revolution. This situation would continue for several more centuries. It"s not clear how revolutionary it really was; it was certainly destructive of old ideas. It wasn"t so revolutionary when it came to the development of new ideas.
